Bucky Irving

Bucky had his first down week since returning from injury in Week 13. Fortunately, his down week was not a result of a decrease in usage, rushing 16 times for 60 yards and playing his most snaps since his return. Unfortunately, in a competitive game against the Falcons, the Bucs relied heavily on Baker Mayfield feeding his fully healthy arsenal of receivers. This week, the Bucs have the first of two huge games against the Panthers. Since Week 10, the Panthers have allowed the tenth most fantasy points to the position. Despite splitting work, Bucky is a low-end RB1 this week in a positive matchup.
