Bucs RB Bucky Irving (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was listed as questionable, adding risk to the rookie’s Week 8 fantasy profile. The upside case is that Tampa Bay should lean on its RBs today with WRs Chris Godwin and Mike Evans out.
Bucs RB Bucky Irving (toe) is expected to play vs. the Falcons today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie only got in a limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable. It's safe to assume Irving won't be at 100% today, leaving him as risk/reward RB3 option for Week 8 fantasy lineups.
Bucs HC Todd Bowles said Friday that RB Bucky Irving (toe) is expected to play vs. the Falcons this weekend, barring a setback. Irving returned to practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. The foot injury adds some risk to his Week 8 fantasy profile, but Irving is still in the RB3 mix with Tampa Bay missing WRs Chris Godwin and Mike Evans.
Bucs RB Bucky Irving (toe) missed practice again on Thursday. SI Now's JC Allen reports that the Bucs are expecting to be without Irving for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. His absence would turn a three-man committee into a two-man committee with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. In that case, White would be a more comfortable fantasy starter, while Tucker would be a RB3 or Flex option. We'll see how Irving is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
Bucs RB Bucky Irving (toe) did not practice on Wednesday. He played deep into the fourth quarter of Monday night's loss to the Ravens, and there was no report of an injury. We're guessing this was more of a rest day for the rookie and that he'll be ready for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. But we'll see if Irving gets back on the field tomorrow.
Bucs WR Mike Evans is expected to miss the next three games with his hamstring injury, HC Todd Bowles said. Tampa Bay gets the Falcons, Chiefs, and 49ers the next three weeks before a Week 11 bye. It sounds like Evans has a good chance to be back for Week 12.
Bucs RB Rachaad White (foot) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Ravens. We’ll get our first look at what this three-man backfield will look like after RB Sean Tucker’s big Week 6. The entire backfield has a brutal matchup against Baltimore’s fifth-ranked RB defense. See how we project the backfield tonight.
Bucs RB Rachaad White (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Ravens. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Saturday, so he seems likely to play. Tampa Bay's coaching staff said multiple times this week that White, Bucky Irving, and Sean Tucker will all be involved going forward. "They’re gonna get reps, and at the end of the day, whoever’s giving us the best opportunity to win throughout that game will probably get the majority of the carries," OC Liam Coen said Friday. It's a nightmare scenario for fantasy managers. And the situation is made worse this week by the matchup against Baltimore's 5th-ranked RB defense. It'd be nice to avoid this backfield in Week 7 fantasy lineups if possible.
Bucs RB Rachaad White (foot) got in a limited practice on Thursday. He was limited in the first practice last week before missing the final two and then the Saints game. We'll see how he progresses over the next few days. HC Todd Bowles said Thursday that White, Bucky Irving, and Sean Tucker will all play when healthy. "As the game goes, we’ll go with the hot hand and see who’s running what style and how it fits the game, and go with that guy," Bowles added. This will be a tough backfield to project when White returns.
Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker had 53 total yards for his young NFL career before Sunday's game. But then he racked up a 14-136-1 rushing line and 3-56-1 receiving in the offensive explosion against the Saints. What's that mean for when RB Rachaad White returns from injury? HC Todd Bowles says the second-year back has earned a spot in the rotation.
Buccaneers RBs Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker split backfield work with Rachaad White out vs. the Saints in Week 6. They ran all over New Orleans for 217 yards and two TDs on 28 carries (7.8 YPC). They carried 14 times apiece, with Tucker out-gaining Irving 136 to 81. Tucker also had the better receiving line: 3-56-1 to 2-24-0. Irving got the start, but Tucker mixed in early and often. It was clear from the start that the Bucs were not going to lean on Irving in a feature role. And Tucker certainly earned his touches with a strong performance.
Buccaneers RB Rachaad White (foot) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Saints. That leaves Bucky Irving, Sean Tucker, and D.J. Williams in the backfield. Irving should dominate work and is a strong RB2 in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
Bucs RB Rachaad White (foot) is listed as doubtful for this weekend's game vs. the Saints. He was limited in Wednesday's practice but sidelined on Thursday and Friday. HC Todd Bowles called White a game-time decision on Friday, but the 'doubtful' tag makes him unlikely to play. White's absence will leave RB Bucky Irving in a clear lead role. The explosive rookie has averaged 5.6 yards per carry this season and is an exciting RB2 play in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
Bucs RB Rachaad White (foot) did not practice on Thursday. That follows a limited practice on Wednesday. White either got the day off or suffered a setback with the foot injury he suffered near the end of the Week 5 loss to the Falcons. We should have a better idea of his status for Sunday's game vs. the Saints when the Bucs release their final injury report on Friday afternoon. White's absence would turn RB Bucky Irving into a strong Week 6 fantasy play.
Buccaneers RB Rachaad White had his most efficient rushing outing of the season in the Week 5 loss to the Falcons, taking 10 carries for 72 yards. The majority of that damage came on a career-long 56-yarder in the second quarter. White's other nine carries totaled 16 yards (1.8 YPC). And his three catches went backward six yards.
Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles said after Week 3 that rookie RB Bucky Irving "has definitely earned more reps." Bucs coaches proved Sunday he meant it. Irving matched Rachaad White at 10 carries apiece. He also ran 20 pass routes to White's 24, drawing 2 targets to White's 3. Both RBs rushed for 49 yards. White's 2-35 receiving line easily beat Irving's 1 reception for 6 yards.
Bucs RBs Rachaad White (illness) and Bucky Irving (hamstring) are active for today’s game vs. the Eagles. White dealt with food poisoning late in the week, while Irving got in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday.
