Bucky Irving might not be ready until sometime this fall, according to Todd Bowles. I'm thinking 5-7 games missed, especially when you look at the offseason activity.
If the Buccaneers were confident in Irving's recovery and long-term availability, they wouldn't have added Kenneth Gainwell AND re-signed Sean Tucker to an RFA tender.
Irving is small and his body hasn't held up to playing big. I'm expecting a three-headed backfield with Tucker and Irving splitting attempts. Gainwell will be the touch leader -- think 240-250, 1,100-1,200 yards from scrimmage, and 8-11 scores.
Gainwell is the least explosive of the three backs, but he's the savviest as a decision-maker and receiver from the backfield.

His arrival in Tampa Bay potentially diminishes Bucky Irving, but don't expect Gainwell to be a reliable fantasy starter unless Irving fails. He has flex appeal in any week due to his receiving and goal-line work, so that lifts his upside a bit.

Big role for Kenneth Gainwell
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Kenneth Gainwell has been referred to as 'running back 1B' by head coach Todd Bowles.
Sean Tucker will have to bid his time
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker appears to be in line to be the No. 3 back behind RBs Bucky Irving (shoulder) and newcomer Kenneth Gainwell. 'Right now, Bucky is on track to be ready to go. I think the combination of Kenny and Bucky are very similar as far as the skill set. Weight, size, all that,' running backs coach Skip Peete said. 'They're both capable of running the ball and running routes, catching and all that. They're not very large people, but they're willing pass protectors. Sean has continued to improve. He flashes sometimes, and he does a good job, and I think he will continue to get better.'
Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell seen in a similar way
Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Zac Robinson told the media that RB Bucky Irving and RB Kenneth Gainwell, 'can kind of match each other in certain ways with what they can do in the pass game.'
