STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Irving's regression, shoulder surgery, and Gainwell signing make him a bust risk.

Irving finished his rookie season as RB13 (14.4 PPR points per game) but regressed last year at ADP 45.8 (RB20); he missed seven games, had offseason shoulder surgery, and averaged two fewer yards per rushing attempt and 0.28 fewer fantasy points per touch compared to his rookie season; the Buccaneers signed Kenneth Gainwell to a significant contract and called him a co-starter, signaling lack of trust in Irving as a featured back.
