STACKED’s take
Irving's injury history and efficiency decline raise concerns despite Rachaad White's departure.
Irving has dealt with multiple injuries in his short career: foot sprain and shoulder/AC joint sprain in 2025, plus hip, back, toe, and hamstring issues in 2024. When healthy last year, he averaged 20.3 touches and 86.5 total yards as RB17 in fantasy points per game, but his efficiency suffered massively from injuries. Among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked 43rd in explosive run rate, 35th in missed tackle rate, and 46th in yards after contact per attempt. The source notes these dips are concerning for a smaller back with a history of injuries, and Irving must contend with Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker for work. Derek Brown will buy the dip if Irving slips in drafts but won't reach for him.
