Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder), WR Chris Godwin (fibula) already out Week 7
Bucs HC Todd Bowles told reporters that RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) and Chris Godwin (fibula) are “not in play” for next Monday night’s game against the Detroit Lions.
Related players: Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka, Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, Ryan Miller, Kameron Johnson, Rachaad White, Sean Tucker, Baker Mayfield
Fantasy Impact:
It's disappointing news but it's at least nice to know heading into waivers this week and when the time comes to set your lineup. The hope for Irving is he's back for Week 8, but the Bucs do have a bye in Week 9, so that could also be a factor in any decisions. Neither Godwin or Irving were placed on IR, so the hope is both are back inside of four weeks. The Bucs hope Evans can play this week, but Egbuka is likely out with a hamstring issue. White will get a majority of the touches at RB with Irving out and Tucker will get a share as well - as the Bucs continue to shuffle guys in and out of their lineup.
