BALL MOVEMENT: Start in 12+ team PPR leagues
POSITION VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (toe) looks set to take over as the starting RB for the Bucs at the expense of incumbent running back Rachaad White. Or at least the de facto No. 1. Irving is more efficient, more explosive, more elusive and more efficient as a runner than White.
That was the play.
Bucky Irving is so good with his movement ability and body control.
This toe injury appears to be uneventful

It was quite difficult for the defenders to get hold of him and bring him down. He’s been dealing with a toe problem, but Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles clarified that’s an issue he’s been dealing with since college and the workload will have to be managed, possibly by limiting his reps in practice.
It’s a show of confidence in him that they’re willing to keep him out of practice, but that’s fine. His current level of play seems to be that despite his injury. He is a solid starter in PPR leagues because he has great pass catching ability.
