0:00.0 | This might be the best waiver wire week for the running back position that I've seen all year. |
0:04.5 | And it comes at the perfect time because the buy weeks are starting. So in this video, |
0:07.9 | we're breaking down seven running backs that you need to be adding off your waiver wire and fantasy |
0:11.8 | right now. And we're going to start with a guy a rookie that's been in this video a couple of times |
0:15.4 | this year and it's Bucking Irving. And before you all get in the comments and say, Bucky Irving's not available in my league. Don't worry, we will get to guys available in your league because we have some guys on this |
0:23.0 | list who are available in over 95% of leagues. |
0:25.3 | Now, the reason why Bucky Irving is interesting is this started earlier in the week. |
0:28.5 | His own head coach Todd Bowles came out and said Bucky has earned more snaps moving forward. |
0:32.5 | And this makes sense because so far this season, Rashad White has been highly inefficient, and that's even dating back to last season. |
0:37.9 | Now, it should be pointed out that entering this game, Rashad White was dealing with an illness. |
0:41.4 | And that might not sound like a lot compared to an injury, but it did pop up on Saturday. |
0:45.6 | This was an illness that popped up on Saturday. He played through it. |
0:47.8 | So if it popped up on Saturday and he played the next day, he probably was still either dealing with that illness or the residual effects. And if you've ever been sick, you know it's hard to do anything, let alone play a football game at the highest |
0:56.3 | level. So I do want to cut him some slack for any performances that we will talk about in week four |
1:00.2 | for him. But you can see right here, my friend Mason Dodd after last week, Rashad White, through three |
1:03.9 | games, 31 carries, 66 yards, averaging literally two yards per carry. Bucking Irving, 24 carries, 145 yards. This guy's averaging 5 yards per carry. This is |
1:11.7 | why Todd Bull said, Bucky is going to see more work. And according to NFL Pro, Bucking Ranks |
1:16.2 | 10th in EPA per rush this year compared to Rashad White, who ranks 42nd out of 49 running backs. |
1:22.0 | Now, what is EPA per us? It's just your efficiency. How good you are. Now, if we look at the usage according to PFF in week four, |
1:31.6 | you can see here. Bucky did start to earn more usage. He placed 32 snaps to Roshad White's 45. This Bucky Irving usage of him playing 41% of the snaps is what that equates out to |
1:36.6 | is the best we've seen all year. And if you scroll over here, this last column is the carries |
1:40.3 | in the game. 10 for Rashad White. Again, he was dealing with that illness. This could be factored in. We don't know for sure, but also 10 for Buck Ehring. So a 50-50 backfield |
