Watched the game as a commanders fan. Bucky looked good. Slippery as we remember him in college

Knew we’d miss his wiggle when there was no hole created by the o line!

James has done fine when there's nothing created, problem is the OL is often negative and there's a defender directly in the hole that he needs to shake to even prevent a negative play.

What I miss already about Bucky is his balance and ability to shake tackles. There was no turf monster in Bucky’s world..

Buckys vision and spin moves and/or jump cuts were insane. Can’t name how many times the hole would be nonexistent and he’d patiently bounce it outside or back inside for a 1st down. Demoralizing for a defense. Same with Bo, he’d take off when in trouble. Ducks don’t have that same creativity right now.

No slight to james but Bucky was on another level.
James seems to be a bit faster but Bucky broke tackles like a mofo-would love to see james do that a bit more

I've got White in my fantasy league. Really considering grabbing Bucky for the handcuff or just in case he earns RB1. I'd love to have a Duck on my team, and he's the only potentially big one on waivers currently.

I drafted Bucky, didn’t even want to risk him on the waivers. He’s in a great spot to secure a workload

Really happy for him. I didn’t think he’d be a name in Fantasy Football that keeps popping up.

White averaged 2 ypc, and Bucky averaged nearly 7. Even without that 31 yarder he was still at about 4. I know it's just one game, but he definitely outperformed White. I hope he keeps it up

That’s sick! We’ve definitely missed him the past two weeks. Hope he keeps getting chances.

Sports Illustrated wrote he was "dazzling" and the fans chanted his name. Looks damn promising for a 125th pick. Couldn't be happier for the guy.
