It was looking like Bucky Irving may get back in time for Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills.
But on Friday, head coach Todd Bowles announced Irving (and Chris Godwin) would remain out for the matchup of contenders.
And with Irving out, there are plenty of fantasy football implications once again.
Those with Irving on their roster again have to figure out alternatives, while there are are again plenty of decisions to be made involving Sean Tucker and Rachaad White.

Bucky Irving fantasy injury tip
The simple way to replace Irving remains to pick up a different Buccaneers RB.
That's an especially solid play this week, because Buffalo's run defense is horrific.
The tricky part is figuring out which back.
In Week 10, Sean Tucker had nine carries for 53 yards and one catch for negative-two yards. Rachaad White had 10 carries for 38 yards and five catches for 16 yards.
That suggests White is the better PPR play, but Tucker could be a better play in standard leagues.
They've gotten a 50-50 split the last few weeks with Irving out, and that likely continues against the Bills.
At this point in the Irving injury cycle, one or both might already be on rosters, so you might not have to choose between them, anyway.
But if you somehow have both, go with White in PPR and Tucker in standard scoring.
