ESPN Fantasy Football on Bucky Irving
From the article
Irving is the RB20 in our draft trends and could outperform his average draft position. His 2025 season was disappointing, but it also created the discount. As a rookie, he produced 1,514 total yards, eight touchdowns and 5.4 yards per carry in 17 games while looking like one of the most dynamic runners in football.
STACKED’s take
RB20 with injury discount; elite rookie tape and healthier OL ahead.
Irving is RB20 in draft trends and could outperform his ADP. His 2025 season was disappointing (865 total yards, four touchdowns, 3.4 YPC) due to foot, shoulder and knee injuries and offseason shoulder surgery, but he was also running behind a Buccaneers offensive line ranked 27th in run block win rate. As a rookie in 2024, he produced 1,514 total yards, eight touchdowns and 5.4 yards per carry in 17 games while looking like one of the most dynamic runners in football. The Buccaneers' OL should be healthier entering 2026 with Tristan Wirfs, Luke Goedeke, Graham Barton and Cody Mauch. Irving is projected to lead the Buccaneers' backfield in touches and the source is comfortable drafting him as an RB2.
