Tampa Bay @ New Orleans
Team Totals: Bucs 22, Saints 19
Off long rest following Week 5’s Thursday night loss to Atlanta, the Bucs now face a stout Saints defense allowing the NFL’s eighth-fewest points per game (19.2) in what projects as a low-scoring affair. I’m tapping brakes on Baker Mayfield as a QB1 option. … Even after losing a killer Week 5 late-game fumble against the Falcons, Bucky Irving appears likely to lead the Bucs’ Week 6 backfield with Rachaad White nursing a foot injury. As of Thursday, sophomore Sean Tucker (17 career carries) was the only other tailback on Tampa’s active roster. The Saints present a largely neutral run-defense matchup. I’m upgrading Irving into RB2/flex territory and downgrading White out of startable range in season-long leagues.
