The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' backfield is led by Bucky Irving, who was a high-ranking fantasy football draft pick in the leadup to this season.
But now it's looking like Irving might miss some time. He's got a foot sprain and was spotted at Wednesday's practice with crutches and a walking boot.
That will force some quick pivots for fantasy football managers who have Irving on their roster.
The Bucs really have two possible backups: Rachaad White and Sean Tucker.

Should I pick up Rachaad White or Sean Tucker?
The best pickup option from the Buccaneers' backfield is Rachaad White.
He has been a starter in the past and is an able fill-in again, especially in PPR leagues thanks to his pass-catching prowess.
So far this season, White has run 23 times for 108 yards and has nine catches for 34 yards.

In deeper leagues, Sean Tucker may also be an option. He could graduate into that role that White has held so far.
Tucker was a collegiate superstar at Syracuse. This season, he has just one carry for two yards, but his workload should increase now.
In the meantime, keep Irving on your bench. It'd be rash to drop him. He should make it back soon enough to contribute to the tail end of the fantasy regular season.
