Irving finished his rookie campaign with 1,514 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns while averaging 5.4 yards per carry... Buy the dip.

Fitzmaurice buying Irving despite fade; 111.6 yards/game stretch shows elite efficiency and usage.

Pat Fitzmaurice is buying Irving despite community fade; Irving averaged 111.6 yards from scrimmage and 6 TDs over 9 games from Week 10 of rookie season through playoffs, with 44%+ snap share in every game except one 10-snap outing. His 5.4 yards per carry and 3.93 yards after contact (first among RBs with 60+ carries) in 2024 fell to 3.4 and 2.33 in injury-plagued 2025 when Tampa's O-line dropped from 2nd to 22nd in adjusted line yards. Despite committee concerns (Sean Tucker goal-line, Kenneth Gainwell third-down), Irving averaged 20.3 touches per game in 2025—workhorse usage—and his 1.56 yards per route run exceeds Gainwell's 1.19; Fitzmaurice says "Buy the dip."
