Was there a bigger breakout performance last week than Tampa Bay's Bucky Irving?
The third-year Buccaneers back almost decided Week 5 fantasy football matchups by himself before they ever got started when he rumbled for 165 rushing yards and a touchdown, while catching two passes for another score on "Thursday Night Football." His career-best performance likely ended any doubt about the pecking order in the Tampa Bay backfield.
This week, we get to see Irving go against Jaylen Warren and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The matchup features two of the top three fantasy running backs from Week 5.
ON BYE: Cincinnati, Detroit, Miami, Minnesota
