It seems as if everyone in the fantasy community is fading Bucky Irving. I'm buying. After a terrific rookie season in 2024, Irving sustained foot and shoulder injuries in 2025 and played only 10 games. Irving had shoulder surgery in February, and Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles recently said Irving would be back on the field 'sometime in the summer or fall.' If Bowles' curious choice of the word 'fall' is causing panic… good. It's creating a buying opportunity.

Source is buying Irving's dip; shoulder surgery recovery creates draft-day value.

The source is buying Bucky Irving despite widespread community fade, citing injury recovery opportunity and strong rookie-year production. Irving had shoulder surgery in February and will have approximately five months to recover before training camp; head coach Todd Bowles indicated he would return 'sometime in the summer or fall.' The source views the panic around the 'fall' timeline as creating a buying opportunity.
