News: 14 hours agoIrving rushed 12 times for 87 yards and a touchdown and brought in all six targets for 64 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay.

Spin: Irving turned in another signature ultra-efficient performance, gaining 50 more rushing yards than Rachaad White on the same number of carries while finishing with a team-high catch total and second in receiving yards. Irving also recorded his fifth rushing touchdown of the season on a six-yard run just past the halfway point of the second quarter, and both of his yardage totals represented new career highs. Irving should have a strong chance to put together a successful encore when he takes aim at the vulnerable Panthers rush defense in a Week 13 road battle.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Irving was taken with with the 125th pick in the draft by the Buccaneers and will look to complement Rachaad White in the Tampa backfield. Irving is quick and gets up to speed in a hurry, but doesn't possess breakaway speed. He also doesn't appear to be anything more than a check-down option in the passing game. White is still the starter for the Buccaneers and Irving will simply be hoping to battle with Chase Edmonds in order to become the team's RB2. Irving is no more than a late-round insurance flier.
