STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Irving's efficiency collapsed in 2025; 2024 was a perfect storm and he's overpriced.

Bucky Irving averaged 3.4 yards per carry and 11.1 PPR points in his final six games (possibly injury-related after missing seven games in 2025). His broken tackle rate fell to the 51st percentile and yards after contact to the 24th percentile after dominating both areas in 2024. Kenny Gainwell at $7 million per season is a real threat to passing-down work that Irving's sixth-percentile pass blocking cannot secure. The 2024 offense was a perfect storm, and Irving is priced like it repeats; fade him.
