Bucky Irving in some doubt for Week 15
Back injury limited him to five touches in Week 14

FFToday's Take: Back injuries are unpredictable, so fantasy managers have little choice but to wait on this week's practice reports before figuring out if they need to make other plans. Even though Rachaad White has picked up his play in recent weeks, the Bucs have leaned more heavily on Irving during their playoff push. Perhaps this injury will force the coaching staff to split their touches evenly from now on, but it would be surprising if Irving did not get the money touches more often. Tampa Bay will not catch much of a break in Week 15, however, as they face a Chargers defense that has yielded only four TDs to the running back position this season. Sean Tucker will be worth a waiver claim if the early news on Irving's Week 15 availability is not good.
