BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving has been the team's most efficient back through the first three weeks. Irving is averaging 6.2 yards per carry across 25 attempts this year, while starter Rachaad White is averaging only 2.1 yards per carry on 31 attempts. That efficiency on the ground has certainly earned him more snaps moving forward, according to head coach Todd Bowles on Monday.
As a result, Irving should be added in all formats heading into Week 4. The former Oregon star has looked solid running the football to start the season, and he could eventually overtake White for the early-down work.
#Bucs HC Todd Bowles on why Rachaad White out-snapped Bucky Irving 42-18:
“We were behind. We threw it a little bit more, Rachaad’s probably a better pass protector at this point, but Bucky has definitely earned more reps.”

Irving has played around 30% of the Buccaneers' offensive snaps in the first three weeks, but expect that number to increase as the season goes on. Given the way he has looked to start his NFL career, fantasy managers should be looking to add him in all leagues. The rookie is still available in 65% of Yahoo! leagues.
