Fantasy Football Start/Sit: Bucky Irving, George Pickens, Cade Otton - FantasyPros

FantasyPros’ Derek Brown breaks down Week 5 fantasy football lineup calls for Bucky Irving, George Pickens and Cade Otton, focusing on role use, matchups and defensive schemes. Irving (TB) kept a lead-back role last week with a 55.7% snap rate and 61 total yards, but red-zone snaps were split with Kenneth Gainwell (25%) and Sean Tucker (37.5%), hurting touchdown odds. Brown flags Irving’s dip in per-touch metrics and notes Dallas has allowed strong rushing production. Pickens (WR, DAL) is expected to rebound if Tampa Bay sticks with single-high coverage (66.2% usage), which has boosted his target efficiency. The piece also begins Otton’s outlook for Tampa.
