Bucky Irving
RB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Availability
Bucky Irving (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
The Buccaneers didn't let Irving practice in a full capacity on Wednesday, and he was officially limited as a result. It looks like he should be good to go for Week 14 and will remain a must-start fantasy option if active against the Saints this week.
Bucky Irving rushed 17 times for 61 yards and a touchdown and added two receptions for 20 yards.
Fantasy Impact
Irving returned after a seven-game absence, and despite the report that he was expected to be limited, he still had 19 touches in the close win. Irving faces a subpar Saints run defense in Week 14, where he can be ranked as a low-end RB1.
Bucky Irving (ankle) is officially active for Week 13 vs the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Irving finally returns to the field for the first time since Week 4. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Bucs ease Irving back into things with a less-than-full workload, but he still can impact the game and fantasy matchups regardless.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving is expected to make his return from an ankle injury that has kept him out since Week 4.
Fantasy Impact
Irving's injury has kept him sidelined despite never being placed on injured reserve. This has left fantasy managers waiting for Irving, who finished as a top-20 half-PPR option in each of his first four games. While he had no rushing touchdowns, Tampa Bay's offense has continued to be solid, and opportunities should present themselves. The only concern is whether he will be back to his 70%+ snap share with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker each having strong moments in his absence. He is the ECR half-PPR RB22.
Bucky Irving is practicing in full for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Irving is set to return in Week 13. He is expected to be eased back into action as Chris Godwin was last week. He'll be a risky RB2/flex play for fantasy managers.
