BALLER MOVE: Start in 10-12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: The Bucs are coming off a Week 11 bye, and their offense gets to feast on the lowly New York Giants, who rank 22nd in the NFL against the run. It's been a backfield-by-committee situation in Tampa Bay this season with Rachaad White, Bucky Irving, and Sean Tucker all seeing touches, but Irving's production stands out among the others.
Despite only having a 46% snap share in Week 10 against the 49ers, Irving had a 16-point (Half-PPR) outing as he ran for 73 yards on 13 attempts and caught three passes for 14 yards.

Irving does have to split touches with other backs, but his productivity on a per-touch basis has been fantastic. When you combine that with the positive matchup against New York's defense and the overall effectiveness of Tampa's offense, it makes for a solid situation for the rookie running back.
He's an ideal RB3 or Flex play with a moderate floor but a high ceiling due to his ability to break off big plays.

Not every WR is like this, though, […]
