Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Week 12

Bucky Irving (RB – TB)

On the ground in Week 10, Bucky Irving led the rushing attack with 13 carries for 73 yards, averaging 5.6 yards per carry, including a 14-yard run and a touchdown. Bucky led with six first-half carries to White’s two. The rookie had three red-zone rushing attempts and one rushing touchdown.

Per Next Gen Stats, Irving generated +18 rushing yards over expected and forced 5 missed tackles on rushing attempts, both of which were his 2nd-most in a game this season. Irving has forced a total of 40 missed tackles on rushing attempts this season.

Rachaad White added 10 carries for 31 yards, averaging 3.1 yards per carry, with a long of 8 yards. White had two red-zone rushing attempts, zero rushing touchdowns, one reception, one red-zone target, one receiving touchdown.

Rachaad White: 37 snaps, 61% snap share. Bucky Irving: 28 snaps, 46% snap share

In the passing game, Rachaad White led in receptions with 6 catches on 7 targets (24% target share) for 39 yards, averaging 6.5 yards per catch, with a long of 10 yards and 38 yards after the catch (YAC), including a touchdown reception.

Bucky Irving contributed to the receiving game as well, with 3 catches on 3 targets for 14 yards, averaging 4.7 yards per catch, with a 12-yard long and 24 YAC.

White has gotten by the last four games with five TDs.

Irving is the best running back on the Buccaneers. Not White. After White scored yet again in Week 10, you best be selling high. But if you can’t sell high on White – hold him. Great schedule for RBs rest of the season. Per the FantasyPros SOS tool, it’s No. 1 for RBs rest of season.

Rhamondre Stevenson (RB – NE)

Rhamondre Stevenson led the backfield with 20 carries for 73 yards, averaging 3.7 yards per carry with a long run of 12 yards. Five red-zone rushing attempts but no touchdowns. He also caught both of his two red-zone targets but did not score.

Stevenson contributed in the passing game, catching all 4 targets for 16 yards, including 26 yards after the catch. 76% snap share. He also fumbled but the offense recovered.

Stevenson had another uncharacteristic finish in Week 11. His streak as the Amari Cooper of RBs this season came to an end. In his first nine games played this season. Five top 10 finishes (including three inside the top 5). Then three outside the top 40 overall.

Over the last two weeks, he has been in the RB2 range. It’s great that he has increased his floor production, that had been very shaky in previous weeks.

Like I said last week, I think I’ve reached the point with Stevenson that I only care about chasing his potential ceiling. So unless you are trading him for a sweet return (probably not), I think he’s now a buy candidate.

Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR)

On the ground in Week 10, Chuba Hubbard dominated with 28 carries for 153 yards and one touchdown, averaging 5.5 yards per carry with a long run of 26 yards. Five red-zone rushing attempts, one rushing touchdown. Hubbard got hurt toward the end of the game but he returned.

Miles Sanders added 5 yards on 2 carries, averaging 2.5 yards per rush. He was carted off the field at the start of the second quarter against the Giants. Jonathon Brooks was a healthy scratch. Chuba Hubbard: 53 snaps, 88% snap share. Miles Sanders: 6 snaps, 10% snap share.

Raheem Blackshear: 2 snaps, 3% snap share

Been suggesting Hubbard as a “sell-high” the last few weeks, but the opportunity seems like it’s long gone at this point. And my stance has changed given his new extension. He is the Panthers RB1 rest of the season.

Brooks will make his debut in Week 12 for the Panthers. He’s the future for the Panthers at running back, but now so is Hubbard. If Brooks just takes on the Sanders role – five to six touches per game – that won’t impact Hubbard in any way. Might actually make Hubbard a sneaky buy. Carolina has shown zero reason to believe they are ready to give Brooks a sizeable workload after drafting him in the second round of this year’s draft.
