Bucky Irving fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 9 (2024). Should you start or sit Bucky Irving for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (toe) appears to be taking over the starting RB job for the Bucs at the expense of current lead back Rachaad White. Or at least the de-facto No. 1 spot. Irving has been more efficient, more explosive, more elusive, and more efficient of a runner than White.
This was the play.

It's been pretty hard for defenders to get their hands on him and bring him down. He has been dealing with a toe issue, but Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles clarified that it's an issue he's been dealing with since college and it'll have to be load-managed, likely by limiting his practice reps.
It's a show of confidence in him that they're willing to keep him out of practices, though, which is a good thing. And his current level of play appears to be in spite of his injury. He's a solid start in PPR leagues because he has great pass-catching upside.
