Wonderful problem to have three good backs but also tough because they all have great traits. 

Tucker is the most traditional RB with breakaway speed BUT if you’re watching closely White does many good things. And Irving is the shifty shifty back who is a great weapon.

Gut feeling Tucker gets a boatload of work against the Giants.  The Bucs should blow out the Giants and that would allow the Bucs to rest the other guys and give Tucker some run.

this would be great to see. I hope you’re right.

I don't think we are blowing them out. I think we win but it'll be closer than it should be

SR - “It’s fine making Irving the lead back on this team, which he is due to his team-leading 96 carries. But Tucker needs to at least equal the amount of touches of White, who might be better suited as a third-down back, if not get more carries.”

“Liam Coen said as part of the bye-week self-scout, Bucs are more aware they need to make sure Sean Tucker has touches in every game and a chance to make plays in rotation with the other two backs.”

Per Auman

Well my FF team so hell nah. I have both Bucky and White...

Who would you start? I'm leaning toward Bucky.

 

Assuming it’s a PPR (or even half point PPR), I’m starting White. 

Averaging 5 catches per game over the last 4 games and he’s scored 5 TD’s over the last 4 games as well.

Will be interesting to see how they handle it in this game.  I dont know if Coen was answering a question or making a statement but does Tucker show up early?  Do the Bucs adopt SR's order:

Irving - RB1

White/Tucker RB2

(in terms of running)

 

Or does Tucker at least get more work because the Bucs are playing with a lead (hopefully)?

That's a tough call. I stay away from teams that platoon RBs for my fantasy RB picks. Detroit is another example, you don't know which RB will go off week to week, Gibbs or Montgomery.

Tucker should be 1st and 10, 2nd and medium, 3rd and short. Irving should be 2nd and long, 3rd and medium/long. White should be phased out.

White is clearly the best in blitz pick-up & protection - especially important with Tristan out.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the backfield if Tristan does play Sunday. Guess is that if he can go, he’ll be limited and therefore White will be in his usual spot on the depth chart.

Gotta think that may be changing down the stretch.

It's half ppr. I'm still leaning Bucky but you make a good point.

I could also go Tracy (my other RB is Swift who pulled his groin and his matchup sucks).

Montgomery was insane value from an ADP perspective.

Tracy is intriguing. Especially against Bowles' dogshit defense.
