It's telling that Irving had all but two or the running back carries in a game of this importance for Tampa Bay. In other words, he's gone from a luxury to a necessity and has the looks of a future RB1 in dynasty leagues. Irving's value could go up even higher with a solid postseason. Regardless, few other rookies saw an increase in value like Irving did and he's a very solid hold in dynasty leagues moving forward.

Many realized Irving was Tampa Bay's best running back a couple of months ago and it seems clear the Bucs are in agreement. He had 20 carries today and while Sean Tucker and Rachaad White are still siphoning off some carries, Irving is clearly the best of the bunch and looks to be the long-term starter moving forward. Irving's dynasty value has risen more than just about any rookie this year and that shouldn't change this off-season.

Irving is still in a time share with other backs for the Bucs, but one thing is certain at this point - he's the best running back they have. While some other rookies may be stealing some headlines, Irving's stock has soared all throughout the season. At this point, he looks like a first round rookie draft talent and has a very bright future. Congrats if you got him on the cheap.

Well, that stinks. Irving was on a heater coming into the game and while he was reportedly beat up going into the game, this was still unforeseen. Few rookies have seen their values rise more this season than Irving, but his status will now need to be monitored. Managers who needed a big day from him to make the playoffs were left holding the bag, though.

Tampa Bay has a three-headed monster in the backfield with Irving, Rachaad White, and Sean Tucker, but it's hard to look at that and say any of them have a higher dynasty ceiling than Irving, who was flat-out dominant today. While his weekly value may have some volatility to it, Irving looks the part and is steadily rising up the dynasty rankings. He's a player worth attempting to acquire as the trade deadline approaches in many leagues.

Irving continues to post solid numbers whenever he sees an opportunity. The only problem here is the fact his 16 touches on the day matched those of Rachaad White. It may take an injury for Irving to truly emerge, but he's clearly one of the most promising rookies in this year's class. His dynasty arrow continues to point up.

Irving simply makes plays each and every week and looks like the best running back on the roster. While Rachaad White (11 touches) and Sean Tucker (three) aren't going anywhere any time soon, Irving looks like the best bet for fantasy production moving forward. Any injury to White would also vault him into the RB2 conversation at the very least. Irving has a solid future and remains a great hold in dynasty leagues.

#timeshare. With Rachaad White (66 yards on 13 touches), this has officially turned into a 50/50 timeshare with the two running backs. Irving clearly has more juice, but White has also been effective at times this season. This looks like great news for the Bucs, but a frustrating development in dynasty leagues. At this point, each of these runners is a Flex play at best unless the other misses time. Irving is a solid dynasty hold at the moment.

He added a catch for six more yards. The big story here is obvious - Irving has created a true time-share with Rachaad White and simply looks like the better player after the first month of the season. White matched him with 49 yards on ten carries of his own, but Irving is getting some important work and is averaging more than five yards per carry on the season. This is a story to watch as Irving is starting to really make things interesting in Tampa Bay. The Bucs may have found something here and dynasty managers who took Irving in the middle rounds of rookie drafts may have themselves a steal.
