Bucky Irving
RB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Questionable
Availability
Bucky Irving (hip/back) did not practice for the Buccaneers on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie was not able to return to practice on Thursday, despite early reports that he was back at practice. He is still recovering from a pair of injuries, and it looks like his availability for Week 14 is up in the air right now. Fantasy managers should keep close tabs on his official injury designation after practice on Friday.
Bucky Irving (hip/back) participated in Thursday's practice, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Fantasy Impact
Irving missed Wednesday's practice due to hip and back injuries, but his return to practice on Thursday is a positive sign for his availability for Sunday's game against the Raiders. We will know more when the Buccaneers release their second Week 14 injury report later Thursday.
Bucky Irving (hip/back) missed Tampa Bay's practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie missed Tampa Bay's first practice of the week on Wednesday. He's dealing with multiple minor injuries right now, and the hope is that he will be able to return to practice later in the week. Rachaad White will be primed for a big workload in the off-chance that Irving is out in Week 14.
Bucky Irving ran for a career-high 152 yards and a touchdown on 25 attempts in the Bucs' 26-23 win over Carolina on Sunday. He also caught all three of his targets for 33 yards.
Fantasy Impact
Irving was fantastic against the struggling Carolina run defense. He also led the Buccaneers in total touches, with 28 to Rachaad White's 12. Irving looks like the lead man after having an even split workload for most of the season, which could give him league-winning potential down the stretch.
Bucky Irving carried the ball 12 times for 87 yards and a touchdown while catching all six of his targets for 64 yards in a 30-7 win over the Giants in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact
Irving scored one of four rushing touchdowns in the blowout win. He also surprisingly outproduced Rachaad White in the passing game as White caught just one pass for 10 yards. Irving has taken over the Tampa Bay backfield and should have a monster game against a weak Panthers run defense in Week 13.
