Who Should I Start? Bucky Irving or Isaac Guerendo

Wednesday, November 12, 12:49 PM

Updating previous reports, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) was limited in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday, according to Brianna Dix of Buccaneers.com. It was initially reported that Irving was rehabbing on the side and wouldn't practice, but he actually took part in some of the walkthrough, giving him a chance to play in Week 11 on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills for the first time since Week 4. The 23-year-old has been battling a sprained foot and a shoulder subluxation, with the shoulder injury being the primary reason he hasn't played since late September. It's good news for Irving's fantasy managers, but it's too early to expect him to be a fantasy factor this weekend. Even if Irving gets cleared to play this weekend, we could see plenty of Rachaad White and Sean Tucker out of Tampa's backfield.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo was thrust into action in his rookie season in the NFL in 2024 because Christian McCaffrey missed most of the year due to injuries. Guerendo finished with 84 rushing attempts for 420 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) and also chipped in 15 catches on 16 targets as a pass-catcher for 152 yards. Fantasy managers probably viewed him as a pretty valuable handcuff for the injury-prone CMC going into 2025 drafts, but the Niners' acquisition of Brian Robinson Jr. before the season pretty much killed whatever fantasy appeal he had. Through the first seven weeks of his sophomore campaign, the 25-year-old former fourth-rounder has yet to play an offensive snap with CMC and B-Rob both staying healthy. Instead, Guerendo has been limited to a special teams role, returning five kickoffs for a combined 100 yards.
