Who Should I Start? Sean Tucker or Bucky Irving

Friday, December 5, 7:00 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker completely disappeared during last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals. Before that game, Tucker had seen double-digit rushing attempts in three of his last four contests. During last week's game, Tucker rushed the ball twice for zero yards. The return of Bucky Irving appears to have ended Tucker's run as a fantasy-relevant back. There are too many mouths to feed with Irving and Rachaad White both involved now. The 24-year-old is worth holding in dynasty leagues with White being a pending free agent at the end of the season. Outside of that, Tucker can be sent back to the waiver wire in most 12-team redraft leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving has worked his way back from injury and is starting to heat up at the perfect time for fantasy managers. Since making his return in Week 13. Irving has totaled 162 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in the past two games. His snap count has been limited since returning, as he's played just 53% of the snaps, while Rachaad White has played 44% and Sean Tucker has played 16%. Hopefully, Irving can pull away from this rotation as he did in his rookie season, where he averaged 17.4 PPR points per game from Week 15 on. He faces the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15, who Irving has yet to eclipse 45 rushing yards in his NFL career. Despite his previous struggles against this Falcons defense, fantasy managers should fire up the second-year back as a low-end RB1 in Week 15.
