Status in question for Sunday Irving (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Eagles.
Impact Irving sandwiched a pair of limited practices around a DNP on Thursday due to a hamstring injury this week, leaving his status up in the air heading into the weekend. Through three games to start his career, the rookie fourth-rounder has been a regular in the Buccaneers offense, turning 30 touches into 182 yards from scrimmage. Irving's status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's available he may continue to make inroads in Tampa Bay's backfield, which currently is led by Rachaad White and his 2.1-yards-per-carry average.

Impact While Irving's optimism about his hamstring offers some reassurance, fantasy managers will still want to keep close tabs on the running back's activity at Friday's practice, which will likely determine whether he carries a designation into Sunday. Irving didn't offer much detail on how or when he injured his hamstring, but he may have gotten hurt at some point during Wednesday's practice, given that he was listed as a limited participant for that session before not practicing in any fashion a day later. The rookie fourth-round pick is coming off an impressive performance in the Buccaneers' Week 3 loss to the Broncos in which he carried nine times for 70 yards and recorded three receptions for 14 yards.

Limited with hamstring injury Irving was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.
Impact There was no sign of trouble in a 26-7 loss to Denver on Sunday, when Irving took nine carries for 70 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards while playing 32 percent of snaps on offense. Rachaad White took more than twice as many snaps (73 percent) but got three fewer carries and one fewer touch than Irving, adding more fuel to speculation that the rookie may eventually take over as Tampa Bay's lead back. It's unclear at this point if Irving's hamstring injury will be a factor in determining their respective workloads during a Week 4 home game against the Eagles.

Outshines White in loss Irving rushed nine times for 70 yards and brought in all three targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Impact Irving outdid backfield mate Rachaad White on the ground by a comfortable margin, with the latter mustering only 17 rushing yards on six carries. Irving displayed some shiftiness and quickness during his game-long 32-yard run, traits that White hasn't displayed on any run yet through three games. Given Sunday's results, it appears Irving may be in the midst of a takeover of the lead-back job from White, with the two possibly swapping depth-chart slotting going into a Week 4 home matchup against the Eagles.

Contained in Week 2 win Irving rushed seven times for 22 yards and wasn't targeted during the Buccaneers' 20-16 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Irving saw just over half (17) of backfield mate Rachaad White's (groin) 33 snaps from scrimmage, but the latter missed a handful of plays in the first half due to his injury. Irving already seems to be locked into a reliable complementary role at minimum, and there's certainly a possibility his participation expands during a Week 3 home matchup against the Broncos if White is limited in any way.

Leading rusher on nine carries Irving ran the ball nine times for 62 yards and caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.
Impact Irving outperformed starter Rachaad White (15/31/0) on the ground, but the inverse could be said for their production as pass catchers. It was a strong start for the rookie fourth-round selection, as he will continue to be mixed in the offense as the season rolls along. Irving could be worth a look in deeper formats in the short term as the Buccaneers head into a Week 2 matchup against the Lions.
