Irving's 20+ touches per game despite injuries suggest major upside if healthy.

Irving ranked 18th in PPR points per game among running backs as a rookie despite being otherworldly efficient early then dreadfully inefficient later, missing time and playing through various injuries. The Buccaneers loaded him with over 20 touches per game during a season in which he wasn't even healthy. If Irving returns to either his 2024 hyper-efficiency or 2025 workhorse role in 2026, he represents a small win; if he achieves both, the upside is significant.
