Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Trenton Irwin caught all four targets for 37 yards during Saturday's loss to the Steelers. Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) wasn't in the lineup, meaning extra targets were up for grabs. While Tee Higgins was the clear beneficiary, finishing with five receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown, Irwin had one of his best showings of the 2023-24 campaign. The 28-year-old had eight catches (10 targets) versus the Cardinals in early October, so he can get hot. However, Irwin isn't a trustworthy fantasy option in Week 17 versus the Chiefs, even though his ceiling will be higher if Chase isn't back on the field.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White saw 75.3% of the team's running back carries and targets in 2023, but running back coach Skip Peete said there will be more competition for touches this season. Tampa Bay selected Oregon running back Bucky Irving in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, while Chase Edmonds and 2023 undrafted free agent Sean Tucker remain on the roster. Ultimately, none of the running backs behind White are expensive investments for the organization, and it's always tricky to know whether a coach is being transparent or just trying to motivate the players in his position room. White was the RB4 overall (PPR) last season behind 990 rushing yards, 549 receiving yards, and nine total touchdowns. Although he could see his rushing volume take a hit, his receiving skill set that he's flashed since his collegiate career at Arizona State should keep him on the field for high-yield fantasy situations.
