From the episode
Bucky Irving...if you're getting mid round two in the underdog streets, late round two, or sorry, late RB2 to early RB2 or RB3 prices...He'll be about 17. I have him right now ranked 18. Beauty is this is buy low...Look at his efficiency numbers. Fifth in yards per touch in 2024. Third in juke rate. Fifth in evaded tackles. Ninth in EPA at plus 18.6. Second in yards created per touch at 4.94...he had 113 rushing yards, 77 receiving yards against the Panthers...152 rushing yards, 33 receiving yards...anywhere from 150 total yards to 200 total yard games...there's been a discount injury on Bucky Irving...Bucky Irving is at buy low for me...you don't have to pay up price-wise. It's de-risk for the fact that I think he just matches where he is in your startup.
STACKED’s take
Elite efficiency metrics and injury discount make Irving a buy-low RB2 with upside.
Bucky Irving represents a buy-low opportunity at RB20 in FFD crowdsource rankings, priced as late RB2 to early RB3 in dynasty formats (around 17th in Underdog and Dynasty Streets). His efficiency metrics are elite: 5th in yards per touch (2024), 3rd in juke rate, 5th in evaded tackles, 9th in EPA at +18.6, 2nd in yards created per touch (4.94), and 4th in yards created (1,255 total). Despite Kenneth Gainwell's 73 receptions last year, Irving has demonstrated superior efficiency and explosiveness. Irving has shown consistent production against Carolina (113 rushing, 77 receiving yards in Week 17 rookie season; 152 rushing, 33 receiving yards in Week 13), capable of 150–200 total yard games. His shoulder injury discount and Gainwell's presence have suppressed his price, but Irving's efficiency profile and potential for increased volume as he heals into fall make him appropriately priced with significant upside.
