Chargers’ Ladd McConkey breaks out. Can Bo Nix catch Jayden Daniels for OROY?
This week's rookie roundup breaks down the race between Bo Nix and Jayden Daniels for top rookie honors and highlights an L.A. Ladd.20 HOURS AGO
Impressive rushing day in loss Irving rushed 13 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and secured all three targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.
Impact Irving outpaced Rachaad White by three carries and 42 rushing yards while adding his fourth rushing TD of the season on a 12-yard run early in the fourth quarter. Irving's carry total was the second highest of his young career, and he now has six straight games with multiple receptions. The 2024 fourth-round pick should enjoy a solid complementary role at minimum in a Week 12 road matchup against the Giants following a Week 11 bye.

Cleared to play Sunday Irving (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against San Francisco, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Irving has been playing through the injury for weeks, with Bucs coach Todd Bowles revealing that it's a recurring problem that dates back to college. It doesn't seem to have impacted the rookie much during games, and he did more in practice this week after managing just one limited session the week before.
NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Limited again Thursday Irving (toe) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Impact Irving managed just one capped session last week due to a toe injury before suiting up Monday at Kansas City, so he appears to be in a better spot this week with a pair of them in two attempts. Friday's practice report may give a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday against the 49ers, and if he's able to do so, he'll continue to split RB reps with Rachaad White, while Sean Tucker gets a few scraps.
NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Begins week as limited Irving (toe) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.
Impact Last Thursday, coach Todd Bowles revealed that Irving was dealing with a toe injury that may linger for the rest of the season, but he was able to suit up Monday in Kansas City and turn his 10 touches into 34 yards from scrimmage.. Meanwhile, backfield mate Rachaad White had six touchees for 35 total yards and one rushing TD, and Sean Tucker notched four touches for 17 yards. A similar breakdown for the trio likely will be the weekly reality as long as Irving continues to be able to play on game day.

Nets 80 all-purpose yards in loss Irving rushed seven times for 24 yards and secured all three targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night. He also returned one kickoff...
Impact Irving led the Buccaneers in rush attempts and rushing yards, with backfield mates Rachaad White and Sean Tucker recording just three carries apiece. The rookie was also just as involved as White in the passing game and looked good on his one kickoff return, and his versatile usage was once again a testament to the team's focus on getting the ball in his hands. Irving now has five straight games with multiple receptions, but the unpredictable division of labor in Tampa Bay's ground attack and a tough Week 10 matchup against the 49ers will continue to cap Irving's upside to an extent.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Suiting up Monday Irving (toe) is listed as active Monday at Kansas City, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact When Irving showed up on the Buccaneers' Week 9 injury report Thursday, coach Todd Bowles told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that the running back's toe injury was something the team will need to manage for the rest of the season. Irving proceeded to log only one limited session (Saturday) and left the weekend listed as questionable for Monday's game. With his availability now confirmed, he'll join forces with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker out of Tampa Bay's backfield. When all three players were active Weeks 7 and 8, Irving turned 18 carries into 67 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all 10 targets for 94 yards. Meanwhile, White had 27 touches, and Tucker was third with nine.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
On track to play Monday Irving (toe) remains listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chiefs, but he's expected to play, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact On Thursday, head coach Todd Bowles told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that the toe issue is something Irving will have to manage for the rest of the season, but unless the injury worsens, the rookie running back isn't expected to miss time because of it. Irving is still likely to have his reps capped during practices in the weeks to come, which could result in him carrying questionable designations into future games. Irving should be formally cleared to play in Kansas City when the Buccaneers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, and Bowles hasn't suggested that Irving's workload will be limited in Week 9. However, Irving is expected to continue splitting snaps with Rachaad White in an arrangement that may cap the fantasy ceilings of both running backs.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Status in question for Monday Irving (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Kansas City.
Impact On Thursday, coach Todd Bowles revealed that Irving was tending to a toe injury that may linger for the rest of the campaign. After not practicing Thursday or Friday, Irving returned in a limited capacity Saturday and now has a chance to be available for Week 9 action. Assuming he's able to suit up, Irving will have to contend with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker for touches out of the Buccaneers backfield.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
At practice Saturday Irving (toe) was present for practice Saturday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Irving missed practice Thursday and Friday, as he continues to manage a toe issue, but his presence for Saturday's session bodes well for his availability for Monday night's game against the Chiefs. The Buccaneers' upcoming practice report will relay whether or not the running back carries a Week 9 injury designation.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Missing from practice Friday Irving (toe) isn't participating in Friday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The rookie running back will sit out a second straight practice while he continues to manage a toe issue that head coach Todd Bowles said Thursday might bother Irving for the remainder of the season. Though Irving's practice time could be affected in the ensuing weeks as a result of the injury, the Buccaneers aren't yet anticipating that he'll have to miss any games because of it. Irving will still likely need to practice in at least a limited fashion to boost his odds of playing Monday in Kansas City, and if he's active for that contest, he'll presumably be part of a timeshare out of the backfield with Rachaad White and, to a lesser extent, Sean Tucker. In Tampa Bay's Week 8 loss to Atlanta, Irving played 41 percent of snaps and finished with nine carries for 44 yards and seven catches for 40 yards, while White played 55 percent of snaps and took on 11 touches. Tucker finished a distant third among the group in both snap share (10 percent) and usage (two carries, one reception).

Impact Irving played Week 8 after logging a DNP-DNP-LP practice pattern, and Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports that a similar ramp-up regimen will likely be employed in advance of Monday's matchup against the Chiefs. It wouldn't ultimately be surprising to see Irving regularly practice in such a capacity throughout the season, given Bowles' comments. During Week 8's loss to the Falcons, Irvin rushed nine times for 44 yards and brought in all seven targets for 40 yards, working as part of a timeshare with Rachaad White. With Mike Evans (hamstring) out for Week 9 and Chris Godwin (ankle) done for the year, both Irving and White could play key roles in the receiving game versus Kansas City.

Garners 84 total yards in loss Irving (toe) rushed nine times for 44 yards and brought in all seven targets for 40 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact Irving overcame his questionable designation due to a toe injury to post a team-high rushing yardage total and also established a new career high in receptions. The rookie has also now logged at least nine carries in six consecutive contests, which, when combined with his relatively reliable pass-catching role, affords him a solid fantasy floor despite the timeshare with Rachaad White. Irving should be in even better health for a Week 9 road showdown against the Chiefs on Monday night, Nov. 4.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Suiting up Sunday Irving (toe) is listed as active Sunday against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact The rookie fourth-round pick thus will be available as part of a three-pronged backfield along with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. Through seven contests this season, Irving is averaging 67.9 yards from scrimmage per game and has scored three rushing touchdowns.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to play Week 8 Irving (toe) is likely to suit up for Sunday's clash against Atlanta, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Irving logged a DNP/DNP/LP progression during the practice week, which appears to be enough for him to take the field against the Falcons. The rookie running back is officially questionable for the contest, though coach Todd Bowles has expressed optimism this week that Irving will be able to suit up. If he does indeed play, Irving is expected to be part of a three-man committee in Tampa Bay's backfield along with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to play Week 8 Irving (toe), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Irving sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before turning in a limited practice Friday, which appears to be enough for him to take the field against the Falcons. The rookie running back is officially questionable for the contest, though head coach Todd Bowles has expressed optimism this week that Irving will be able to suit up. If he does indeed play, Irving is expected to be part of a three-man committee in Tampa Bay's backfield along with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker.

Impact After he was listed as a non-participant on practice reports issued Wednesday and Thursday, Irving helped assuage some of the concern about his health by practicing Friday as a limited participant. Bowles also allayed some more fears about Irving's injury, noting that the rookie isn't dealing with turf toe and should be good to go for Sunday, "barring anything happening." Official word on his status should arrive when Tampa Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if Irving suits up, he'll likely find himself a part of a three-man committee out of the backfield with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. The arrangement could end up suppressing the fantasy value of all three backs.

Back at practice Friday Irving (toe) is participating in Friday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Irving sat out practice both Wednesday and Thursday, so it's encouraging to see him retake the field prior to Week 8 action against the Falcons. Alongside Rachaad White and Sean Tucker, Irving contributed as part of a three-man backfield committee during Monday's loss to the Ravens. If Irving were to miss time, White and Tucker would figure to benefit from increased touches, and with both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) unavailable versus Atlanta, the Buccaneers could lean heavily on the running game.
