Bucky Irving Sneaks Into RB2 Discussion
2 months agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving is trending towards making his first career start during Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Fellow back Rachaad White (foot) has been limited to one practice this week and is considered a game-time decision for Week 6. If White sits, Irving is expected to get a majority of the snaps in the backfield. He has been effective this season with 247 yards on 44 carries, which is 5.6 yards per carry. The Saints defense is middle of the road when it comes to defending against the run. Irving should be to find success and is in the RB2 conversation, assuming White is unable to play.
