Outlook Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at Carolina — Volume Locked in Divisional Road Clash
Irving was removed from the injury report ahead of Week 7 after an illness sidelined him earlier in the week, clearing him to lead Tampa Bay's backfield. Anchoring the ground game ahead of Kenny Gainwell, Irving has handled 40 carries over his last two games and continues to see dominant backfield touch volume.
With top receiver Emeka Egbuka ruled out, the Buccaneers will likely lean heavily on Irving to carry the offensive load. Our weekly projection expects around 16 carries for 74 rushing yards and 15.7 fantasy points, meaning fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

Omar Cooper vs. Dolphins — Rookie Looks to Build on Breakout Performance
Cooper enters Week 7 after capturing NFL Rookie of the Week honors, posting six receptions, 103 yards, and a 48-yard touchdown against New England following his return from an ankle injury. Operating as New York's primary slot receiver alongside Garrett Wilson, the rookie displayed game-breaking run-after-catch ability that injected immediate juice into the offense.
Fantasy managers responded by driving his roster rate above 70%, though his start rate sits near 20% while fantasy managers verify weekly volume. Facing a winless Miami squad at home, our weekly projection pegs Cooper for roughly 3 receptions and 38 yards (8.3 fantasy points). He shapes up as an intriguing Flex option who brings explosive upside if target volume remains steady.
