Davis Mattek on Bucky Irving

Irving dominates backfield with 62 snaps, 19 carries; Mayfield arrival should boost targets.

Irving logged 62 snaps last week with 19 carries to Kenny Gainwell's 2, establishing clear backfield dominance. Projected at 65% of rushes and 8-10% of targets, Irving runs as many or more routes than Gainwell every week. Baker Mayfield's return should increase overall pass attempts and target opportunities for Buccaneers running backs, who have seen volatile target share ranging from 7% to 28% combined week-to-week. Irving's route participation (62% last week) exceeds Gainwell's (15%), positioning him as the clear pass-game option.
