Bucky Irving, Bucky Irving Playing Through Injury, Expects To Keep Current Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (toe) is playing through a toe injury, but the rookie said he does not expect the ailment to limit his playing time. The fourth-round pick out of Oregon has handled at least 10 touches in seven of his eight games this season, and he caught a career-high seven passes in the Week 8 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Although he's not a must-start stud in a shared backfield with Rachaad White, he has provided solid value for fantasy managers considering his late-round cost in preseason drafts. However, he is set the face a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has surrendered the fewest fantasy points per game to running backs this season, so his ceiling and floor could be limited in Week 9. Expect him to be a fixture on the injury report, but it sounds like he's not at risk of missing time.

Jalen McMillan, Jalen McMillan Targeted Seven Times

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan was forced into the No. 1 role with Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) going down. McMillan didn't appear quite ready for that role as he struggled throughout most of Sunday's game. The rookie wideout hauled in four of his seven targets for 35 yards in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. It didn't seem that McMillan and quarterback Baker Mayfield were on the same page this week. Hopefully some more practice time will help the duo get back on track. McMillan should be in the flex conversation for the Week 9 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cade Otton, Cade Otton Posts Incredible Performance

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton delivered an incredible performance during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Otton functioned as the top pass-catching option with the Bucs missing both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) on Sunday. The young tight end hauled in nine of his 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Otton now has 17 receptions for 181 yards and two scores over his last two games. He'll head into a matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs next week. Fantasy managers can go ahead and consider Otton a TE1 now with the Bucs shorthanded on receiving options.

Bucky Irving, Bucky Irving Hauls In Seven Receptions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving has been impressive, especially over the last few weeks. The rookie back has made the most of his chances and carved out a nice role for himself in this offense. On Sunday, Irving rushed nine times for 44 yards while hauling in all seven of his targets for 40 yards in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Irving has now seen nine or more carries in six straight games. Now, Irving is getting involved in the passing game as well, which should only increase his value. Irving is putting himself in the RB2 conversation for next week's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Rachaad White, Rachaad White Solid Through The Air

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White continues to have little success on the ground. However, White has been able to salvage his fantasy value with his receiving ability. That was the case once again during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. White rushed six times for 29 yards, but hauled in five of his six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Bucs are without their top two wideouts, so as expected they went with the short passing game. White figures to be stuck in this running back committee for the foreseeable future. Although, White still should be a fine PPR option for fantasy managers during next week's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
