BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (toe) didn't have a very good game against the Kansas City Chiefs run defense in Week 9, and though he continues to nurse a toe injury, he'll face a significantly softer matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10.

It's no surprise he was held in check by the Chiefs, as he didn't score any touchdowns and they still allow the fewest PPR fantasy points to opposing running backs in the NFL, at just 14.6 per game. The 49ers allow 21.8, right around the middle of the league. He should have a better day against them.
His receiving performance left something to be desired last week, as he caught three passes for just 10 yards. He also had seven carries for 24 yards. He should see more work against San Francisco, and have more room to run, making him a viable RB3/FLEX option in leagues with PPR scoring formats.
While lead back Rachaad White isn't losing his job to Irving, the two can both be reasonably productive in offensive coordinator Liam Coen's rushing and passing attacks.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
