Fantasy football managers who took an early-season flier on Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving could see their faith rewarded in a big way.
Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Irving's "skill set is hard to ignore, and opposing coaches are game planning for him as if he's a focal point of the offense."
Irving is in an equal-share backfield alongside third-year speedster Rachaad White. They both registered 10 carries for 49 yards in last Sunday's 33-16 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, but it was Irving who scored a touchdown.
