Irving's RB21 ADP risky; shoulder surgery, committee backfield, and goal-line ceding limit upside.

Bucky IrvingRB

Irving's RB21 ADP is risky given his recent injury and backfield situation. Irving is coming off a disaster season and offseason shoulder surgery, heading into a projected three-back committee backfield. Kenny Gainwell was paid too much ($10 million guaranteed) to not receive most of the backfield's receiver work. Irving ceded six-of-seven carries inside the five-yard line to the bigger Sean Tucker after returning in Week 13 last year. If Irving splits goal-line touches and doesn't play passing downs, the source questions how he gets home.
