Irving's RB21 ADP requires rookie-season repeat; 2025 decline and backfield additions make it unlikely.
Irving's ADP of 45 (RB21) prices him as a repeat of his 2024 rookie breakout, but the source argues he is overvalued. While Irving played all 17 games in 2024 and finished RB13 in PPR after entering as RB52, averaging 5.4 yards per carry and ranking fifth in explosive yards and missed tackles forced, his 2025 performance deteriorated significantly: he averaged just 3.3 yards per carry, ranked 32nd in explosive yards, 45th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 33rd in first-down runs. Health concerns persist, and Tampa Bay added Kenneth Gainwell in free agency while retaining Sean Tucker (six red-zone touchdowns in 2025). With a full rotation of backs deployed, Irving needs to replicate his rookie season to justify RB21 pricing, which feels extremely hard to achieve.
