Who Should I Start? Bucky Irving or Jaxson Dart

Saturday, October 18, 1:48 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday Night Football against the Lions, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Irving will miss his third straight game while dealing with multiple injuries. Tampa Bay has relied heavily on Rachaad White in his absence, playing 81% of the snaps over the past two weeks and recording 38 touches. Given Tampa Bay's Week 9 bye, the team may choose to delay his return until after the break to ensure he is completely healthy. White will be the workhorse again Monday night against Detroit, with Sean Tucker mixing in.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was in a tough road matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 7, but his final numbers were excellent. He threw for 283 yards and three touchdowns while adding a fourth score on the ground with 11 rushing yards. Dart was one of the top scoring quarterbacks of the week, but his day was spoiled by taking the loss to the Broncos, who stormed back with 33 points in the fourth quarter to win 33-32. Dart did throw a brutal interception to help fuel the comeback, but the kicking game and his team's defensive struggles ultimately led to the loss. Dart and the Giants have shown a lot of promise and upside, and they'll head to Philadelphia this week for a rematch against the Eagles. The Giants beat the Eagles in Week 6 in New York, and they'll look to pull off the upset again this week, but this time they'll be on the road. Even in tough environments, Dart has shown enough upside to be considered as a starter in most formats, with his rushing potential keeping both his floor and ceiling very high.
