Yahoo Fantasy Football on Bucky Irving
From the article
Irving has seen at least 15 carries in six straight games. The only backs with more 15-carry games this year are Jonathan Taylor and Derrick Henry. It would be nice if Irving were more involved as a receiver, which would raise the floor just a bit, but in what feels like a very shallow RB market this season, Irving is a worthy RB2.
STACKED’s take
Irving's 24-carry workload in six straight games supports RB2 floor despite feast-or-famine scoring.
Bucky Irving scored 23.5 fantasy points in Week 7 on 24 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns. While his recent stretch has been feast-or-famine (scoring under 7 points in three of four prior games, with 30.5 in the fourth against Dallas), the source identifies reasons to believe this performance signals a sustainable uptick. Baker Mayfield's return (even with a glove on his throwing hand) likely matters to defensive game plans and Irving's workload. More importantly, Irving has seen at least 15 carries in six straight games—only Jonathan Taylor and Derrick Henry have more 15-carry games this season. The source notes Irving would benefit from more receiving work to raise his floor, but in a shallow RB market, he qualifies as a worthy RB2.
