Trends


"Irving is a strong 2025 breakout candidate following an impressive rookie season. The fourth-round pick didn't play on over half the snaps in a game until Week 6, but was fantasy's No. 10 RB from that point on. He produced 15-plus fantasy points in nine of his final 12 games, with injury responsible for two duds. Irving's efficiency was elite, as his 5.4 YPC, 2.5 YAC, 90% catch rate and 7.5 RAC were all top 5 among RBs. Irving will defer some work to Rachaad White, and his 192-frame raises obvious durability questions, but he looked the part as a rookie and is well positioned for 15-plus touches per game in a good offense. At worst, he's a fringe RB1."


"Bowles implied that Irving is one of multiple players awaiting MRI results Monday, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports, but he declined to offer specifics about what sort of injury the second-year pro is dealing with. Irving enjoyed his most productive outing of the season Sunday, rushing 15 times for 63 yards and hauling in all five of his targets for 102 yards and a touchdown. The Buccaneers will wait and see if Irving is available on the road against Seattle in Week 5, though if he were to miss any time, both Rachaad White and Sean Tucker would stand to inherit increased backfield roles."
