He handled a season-high 24 carries for 106 rushing yards and two touchdowns, leading to an RB2 finish on RB4 usage. Because everything worked, Kenny Gainwell and Sean Tucker got home in Baker Mayfield's return. This offense should be balanced while Mayfield's thumb heals, and Irving is in line for upside RB2 value.

Irving's elite usage and matchup support RB2 upside despite season-long QB struggles.

Irving handled a season-high 24 carries for 106 rushing yards and two touchdowns against Carolina, finishing as RB2 on RB4 usage. Winks projects him for upside RB2 value despite being RB14 on RB13 usage this season due to a month of QB problems. The Falcons have allowed the eighth-most half PPR points per game to RBs, particularly struggling in the receiving game (fourth most), with Christian McCaffrey, D'Andre Swift (RB5), Derrick Henry (RB5), and Alvin Kamara (RB10) combining for a four-game streak of top-10 finishes. Tampa Bay enters as 2.5-point home favorites with a 24.5-point implied team total (11th).
