Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving to miss Week 5 and in danger of missing Week 6

Oct 03, 2025

Bucs RB Bucky Irving (foot) is expected to miss Sunday’s game vs. Seahawks and is in danger of missing next week vs. 49ers, per source.

Rookie Josh Williams figures to be active this week as a third back in Irving’s absence.

Related Players: Rachaad White, Sean Tucker

Fantasy Impact:

We're expecting White to be the "lead back" here, but we should still see a good amount of Tucker, which limits the former's upside. Consider them respective low-end RB2 and RB3s.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard to miss Week 5

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard, who has been dealing with a calf injury the last couple of weeks and hasn't practiced this week, is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Rico Dowdle is the team's backup.

Related Players: Trevor Etienne

Fantasy Impact:

Dowdle should make for a volume-based RB2/3 but he has slightly less juice than Hubbard, and could see a bit more Etienne than we've been used to. The rookie could be in the RB4 range, but should be reserved as a desperation play in deep leagues.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers misses Thursday practice

Raiders TE Brock Bowers, who was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a knee injury, didn’t practice today.

Related Players: Ian Thomas

Fantasy Impact:

Hopefully this was more of a rest day, but Bowers has been dealing with this issue for a few weeks now. Ian Thomas can be left out of streaming consideration, even if the sophomore misses Week 5.

Commanders WRs Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown Out for Week 5

The Commanders have ruled out WR Terry McLaurin, WR Noah Brown and G Sam Cosmi before traveling to LA to play the Chargers.

Related Players: Deebo Samuel, Luke McCaffrey, Zach Ertz, Chris Moore

Fantasy Impact:

Still no word on Samuel, so that's a good sign for his availability this weekend. He earned nine opportunities last week, turning them into 81 total yards and a touchdown. He'll be locked into a WR2 role unless he has a pre-game setback.
