STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Irving's fantasy value is tied to game script and pass-catching volume.

McFarland notes that while Irving is a viable flex or low-end RB2, his fantasy value is highly dependent on game script and pass-catching usage. Historically, Irving averages under 12 fantasy points per game when seeing a single-digit target share, and if Kenneth Gainwell continues to handle passing-down work, Irving faces volatility in trailing game scripts.
