Bucky Irving a Solid RB2 Option in Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 5:41 AM

After being limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (glute) logged a full practice on Friday and will play in his team's Week 4 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Irving has gotten off to a solid start to the 2026 season, recording 241 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 53 touches across three games. The Bucs offense has question marks heading into Week 4, as rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels will take over under center for injured signal-caller Baker Mayfield (thumb). However, the Green Bay defense has had major issues against the run so far this season, ranking 28th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed (416) through three weeks. With the unproven Daniels at quarterback, Tampa Bay could look to lean on Irving as both a runner and a short-area receiver. Now that he's officially active, Irving profiles as a low-end RB2 option for fantasy managers in Week 4.

Jeremiyah Love Sees Workload Decrease in Sunday's Loss

Sunday, October 4, 2:06 PM

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love saw his workload decrease significantly in their loss to the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon. The former Notre Dame standout entered Week 4 riding a breakout performance in Week 3, but saw his fantasy value take a massive step back on Sunday afternoon. Last weekend, Love ran the ball a season-high 21 times for 90 yards, caught five passes for 19 yards and a touchdown. However, this weekend, Love took just 14 carries for 63 yards, while No. 2 back Tyler Allgeier logged eight carries and punched in a touchdown. While this result is a major disappointment for fantasy managers, Love should still be expected to remain the lead back in this offense, even if his workload is limited at times. He still projects to hold high-end RB2 upside in a Week 5 tilt against the Detroit Lions.
