Bucky Irving fantasy injury tip: Buccaneers RB news impacts Sean Tucker, waiver wire pickup

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a big game in Week 10.

The 7-2 New England Patriots are in town to take on the 6-2 Bucs.

The Buccaneers haven't been healthy for a while, though, and they'd certainly like to be closer to full strength.

Fantasy football players with Bucky Irving on their roster would appreciate that, too.

Bucky Irving fantasy injury tip

-------------------------------

Bucky Irving hasn't practiced on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

That makes it look like Irving will be out again as he battles toe and shoulder injuries.

The backfield might be shifting here. Sean Tucker outplayed Rachaad White before the bye.

Tucker has a serious college pedigree from his days as a Syracuse superstar. He's worth a waiver wire pickup in any league where he's still available.

Keep an eye on any quotes coming out of Tampa Bay before Sunday, but assuming Irving is indeed out, this might be Tucker's week to take over for the Buccaneers.

White will likely still be a passable FLEX play in PPR fantasy leagues, too. 

If you've got more certain options, you can also avoid the Bucs' backfield this week. But having Tucker on your roster is a good idea, because if he takes over more fully, he'll be usable going forward.
