RB Sean Tucker got short-yardage work for a second straight week... Tucker came in for a 3rd-and-1 in the second quarter and converted... he didn't quite convert. I like Tucker, but it might make sense to just use your best guy (Irving) on the highest-leverage plays, even if he doesn't fit the profile of a short-yardage runner.

Tucker gets short-yardage work but role remains unclear vs. Irving's goal-line upside.

Tucker got short-yardage work for a second straight week, including a 3rd-and-1 conversion in the second quarter and three straight carries at the start of a drive in the third quarter. However, he failed to convert on a 4th-and-goal from the 1-yard line at the end of that drive. The source suggests it might make sense to use Irving on the highest-leverage plays even if he doesn't fit the short-yardage profile, since Irving scored a 1-yard TD and converted a 3rd-and-1 in this game. The situation appears to be evolving.
