PFM Fantasy Outlook
Bucky Irving controlled Tampa Bay's offense against Carolina while Baker Mayfield returned from a thumb injury. Irving took 24 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns in a 43-13 win, including 10 rushes and a score on the opening drive. The Buccaneers did not need Mayfield to throw often, and Irving repeatedly kept the offense ahead of the chains. That was a far more convincing display of his role than a single long run.
Irving has 558 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns in seven games, with another 18 catches and a receiving score. He has produced strong outings despite the Buccaneers' uneven start, and the Week 7 workload makes clear that the coaching staff trusts him. PFM ranks him RB13 against Atlanta in Week 8 and RB14 rest of season. A healthy Mayfield could create better rushing situations, though Tampa Bay may not repeat a 30-point win every week. Irving's carries remain the foundation.
