Should You Start or Sit Irving in Week 11?
After Irving (foot/shoulder) was hurt in Week 4, the general idea was that he’d be good to go in Week 10 following the team’s bye, but that didn’t prove to be the case after an entire week of missed practices.
At this point, I’m trending in the direction of needing a game of proof health-wise before locking Tampa’s RB1 back into my lineup. Irving’s value in September was volume (90 touches in those four games helped offset 3.3 yards per carry), and it’s fair to think that a team with hopes of playing deep into January is cautious with their explosive 23-year-old RB.
Keep tabs and do your homework. Reporting around this injury has largely been strong, and I think it stands to reason that we will have a good idea of just how much work Irving will be counted on for ahead of his return, whenever that is.
Until then, Rachaad White remains a viable RB2. There’s a world in which he holds onto flex value until Irving returns, as his role in the pass game is a specific skill that holds tremendous value to an offense battling through various receiver injuries.
