Bucs HC Todd Bowles said Monday that RB Bucky Irving "has definitely earned more reps." Irving was out-snapped 42 to 18 by RB Rachaad White in the Week 3 loss to the Broncos.

Despite the wide gap in snaps, Irving out-carried White 9 to 6 vs. the Broncos. It wouldn't be at all surprising if Irving tallies more carries than White over the remainder of the season.
White's stranglehold on the passing-down snaps will keep him on the fantasy radar and cap Irving's upside. But the rookie should be owned in basically all fantasy leagues at this point. He's looking like a weekly RB3 with the upside to climb higher.
