BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex
ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving has seen his opportunity share increase each game through the early part of the season and should be viewed as a solid flex option on Thursday evening.
Through the first three weeks, Irving averaged eight rushing attempts in each game with a solid 51.3 average yards. During this span he saw at least three targets in two games and ran at least six routes in every game.
Last week, Irving saw his highest snap count of the season (30) and most attempts (10) of the season. He also found the end zone for the first time in his professional career.

Even though Rachaad White will still operate as the '1A' in this backfield, Irving should provide a solid floor and could continue to see his role grow as the season progresses.
