Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. HC Todd Bowles called him a game-time decision on Friday morning, but he’s evidently unlikely to play. The other TEs on Tampa Bay’s roster are Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, and Devin Culp. None is a viable fantasy play. Otton’s absence should push more targets to the WRs and RBs.

Update: The Buccaneers downgraded Otton to out.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (back, hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. There was optimism about his status throughout the weekend, but it remains unclear how big a workload he’ll handle today. The Bucs might not even know until they see how Irving’s body is holding up once this game gets going. Consider the rookie a risk/reward fantasy start.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (back, hip) is expected to play vs. the Chargers this afternoon, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That jibes with Jeremy Fowler's Saturday report on Irving. The rookie certainly seems on track to play today, but it's still uncertain how much work he'll be given and/or be able to handle. Irving had huge games in Weeks 12 and 13 but lasted just 10 snaps in Week 14. That's a good illustration of his range of outcomes today. Use the Who To Start Tool to see if Irving makes sense for your fantasy lineup.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler hears that there's "optimism" about RB Bucky Irving's status for Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. "Irving has been feeling better later this week and hopes to play, per a source," Fowler writes. "He reaggravated his hip pointer injury from a week ago but is trending in the right direction." Irving has also been dealing with back tightness and will come with elevated risk in Week 15 fantasy lineups. But he could also deliver nice production if his body cooperates. We'll look for further updates on his status but won't get the Chargers' inactives until a little before 3 pm ET tomorrow.
