In 2025, Bucky Irving averaged just 2.3 YAC/attempt. It was the lowest mark among running backs with 100-plus carries. Is that bad? Because I feel like that's bad.

Irving has lowest YAC/attempt (2.3) among 100+ carry RBs; losing passing and goal-line work.

Matthew Berry fades Bucky Irving, placing him outside his top 20 at RB. In 2025, Irving averaged just 2.3 YAC/attempt, the lowest mark among running backs with 100-plus carries. He also saw just 5% of his carries go for 10-plus yards. The Buccaneers signed Kenneth Gainwell, a target monster in the passing game. For his career, in games in which Irving sees a single-digit target share, he averages just 11.8 PPG compared to 17.1 PPG in double-digit games. Even after Irving returned from injury in Week 13, Sean Tucker still saw 64% of team goal-line attempts. So losing usage in the passing game AND at the goal line is a major concern.
