Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles said the team will ride the “hot hand” at running back.

It’s arguably the worst thing fantasy managers could hear a head coach say when discussing three running backs on a roster. Sean Tucker forced his way into the conversation for more touches following his Week 6 breakout, which could leave Rachaad White and Bucky Irving with more uncertain roles moving forward. Fox Sports’ Greg Auman said earlier in the week that he believes White will remain the team’s RB1, but he seems unlikely to win the “hot hand” approach given his struggles on the ground this season. This could be a frustrating backfield to figure out for a few weeks. White, Irving, and Tucker are all worth holding until we get more clarity on the situation.
