The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will finally have RB Bucky Irving back on the field.

Irving is expected to return from his injury on Sunday in Week 13.

It'll be Irving's first game since Week 4.

But now things are complicated. For the last few weeks, Sean Tucker and Rachaad White were splitting time.

Irving's return leaves doubt as to what the roles will look like.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported this on Saturday night: "Bucs don’t want to overdo it with Irving, but he will get his touches."

Can you start any of these guys in fantasy football?

It's hard to do it with confidence, but it may be needed depending on your other choices.

Irving seems playable given his overall ability and given the fact that the Buccaneers wouldn't bring him back if he wasn't healthy enough to have at least a decent role.

Behind Irving, it's not clear whether the Bucs would go with Tucker, who has been more effective lately, or White, who was Irving's RB2 at the start of the year.

Given that uncertainty, Tucker and White both should stay on fantasy football benches in Week 13.

Going forward, it'll likely be Irving as the most sure starter out of this group. The other two guys likely become handcuffs and nothing more.
