Who Should I Start? Bucky Irving or Quinshon Judkins

Saturday, November 29, 9:06 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) is on track to return to the field for Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Irving practiced in full all week, which puts him on track to play, barring any setbacks. This will be the first time that Irving has played since Week 4. That being said, Irving is expected to be limited in terms of snaps during his first game back. The Bucs have two other capable options in Sean Tucker and Rachaad White as well. This could turn into a three-back committee which would be bad news for fantasy managers. The Bucs might decide to ride the hot hand in what could be a run-heavy gameplan given quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint issue. It's tough to trust Irving as more than a high-end flex option during his first game back.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins turned in a strong effort in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, rushing for two touchdowns, although he finished with just 47 yards on 16 carries. Judkins will look to find the end zone again in Week 13's home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been tough against the run this season, allowing just the 19th-most fantasy points per game to running backs thus far this season. Judkins has seven touchdowns in 10 games for the Browns this season but has seen his ceiling capped by a scuffling offense. He sets up as a low-end RB2 in Week 13.
