Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker dominated for fantasy managers with a 19-106-2 stat line. He also went 2-34-1 through the air, catching both of his targets. He outrushed fellow RB Rachaad White, who went 10-51-0 despite White playing 43 snaps to Tucker’s 31.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) is out for this weekend’s game vs. the Bills. Irving was limited in practice all week, but it sounds like he’s still not cleared for contact with that shoulder injury. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 12’s game vs. the Rams. Irving’s absence again leaves the backfield to Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. The carries have been split almost evenly between them the past two games (23 for White to 21 for Tucker), but White continues to control passing-game work.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It was his first official practice since going down in Week 4. "It was a walkthrough," HC Todd Bowles said of Irving's workout today. "We’ll see what he does tomorrow and Friday. It’s the first step to him starting to work his way back." Irving still sounds very uncertain for Sunday's game vs. the Bills, but he's at least trending in the right direction. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. It sounds like the shoulder is the bigger issue than the foot at this point. Irving has resumed running but has not been cleared for contact, according to HC Todd Bowles. Consider Irving uncertain for Week 11. His absence again leaves the backfield to Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. We saw Tucker pull nearly even with White in carries in Tampa Bay's last game (13 to 12). But that came in an easy win over the Saints. Sunday's game vs. the Patriots should be tighter. And New England is much tougher against the run than the pass, which sets up better for White. See where both guys land in the Week 10 RB rankings.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Todd Bowles said that Irving has been running but has not been cleared for contact. That seemingly makes him unlikely to play vs. the Patriots this weekend. When we last saw Tampa Bay in Week 8, the gap between RBs Rachaad White and Sean Tucker got much tighter. White played 57% of the offensive snaps and handled 13 carries and two targets; Tucker registered a 34% snap rate with 12 carries and 0 targets. White remains the better fantasy bet if Irving is out, especially this week against a New England defense that's much tougher against the run than the pass. But he looks more like a mid-range RB2 than the RB1 we were treating him as prior to Week 8.

Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker earned a larger role for the Buccaneers going 12-42-1 on the ground with no targets. RB Rachaad White was still the lead back, but only mustered 13-35-0, though he did catch both his targets for 26 yards. White was struggling early leading to Tucker getting some snaps and showcasing his ability. If RB Bucky Irving misses more time, Tucker and White could split carries.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) won't play vs. the Saints this weekend, HC Todd Bowles said Wednesday, adding that Irving is still "week to week." Tampa Bay gets a Week 9 bye, and we'll see if Irving is ready come Week 10. His absence means another game for Rachaad White as clear lead back. He's played 84% of the offensive snaps over the last three weeks, averaging 13.7 carries and 4.3 targets per game. White dudded vs. the Lions last week but registered RB7 and RB10 PPR finishes the prior two. White sits inside the top 10 in the Week 8 RB Rankings.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday night's game vs. the Lions, as expected. HC Todd Bowles essentially ruled Irving out back on Monday, so we're not optimistic about his chances of making it back for Week 8's game against the Saints. The Bucs then get a Week 9 bye. Rachaad White gets another game as lead back on Monday night. He's averaged 15.5 carries and 3.5 targets over the last two games, turning in RB7 and RB10 PPR finishes.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles has already said RB Bucky Irving and WR Chris Godwin are "not in play" for a Monday night clash with the Lions in Week 7. the team does, however, hope to get WR Mike Evans back at practice this week, according to other reports.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. He remained sidelined in practice all week and “could miss 1-2 more weeks,” according to The Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud. Rachaad White gets another game as lead back this weekend, after tallying an 80% snap rate, 14 carries, and four targets last week.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) is expected to miss "at least two weeks," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter adds that Irving's shoulder injury is worse than the foot injury. Fantasy managers should plan on being without him at least in Week 6, and it sounds like Irving could miss more time beyond that. The Bucs have a Week 9 bye. We'll see what the backfield split looks like today between Rachaad White and Sean Tucker.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) did not practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Friday morning that Irving could miss multiple games with the foot injury. His absence leaves Tampa Bay’s backfield to Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. We’re expecting White to be the lead on early downs and dominate passing-game work. He gets a Seattle defense that’s been tough against the run but has allowed the most catches and receiving yards to RBs.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (foot) is expected to miss Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks and "is in danger" of missing Week 6, too, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. We still don't have many details on Irving's injury, but he was on crutches and in a walking boot on Wednesday, so it's no surprise that this could be a multi-week deal. He's worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues, but plan on being without him for at least the next two weeks. Tampa Bay's bye is not until Week 9. We're expecting Rachaad White to operate as the Bucs' clear lead back this weekend, with RB Sean Tucker mixing in on early downs. See where both guys land in the Week 5 RB Rankings.
