Fitzmaurice buying Irving dip; workhorse usage and elite YAC metrics support value despite 2025 injuries.

Pat Fitzmaurice is buying Bucky Irving despite community fade, citing his terrific rookie 2024 stretch (111.6 yards from scrimmage per game, six touchdowns over nine contests from Week 10 onward) and workhorse usage (20.3 touches per game average) that should persist despite Sean Tucker and Kenneth Gainwell competition. Irving's 3.93 yards after contact per attempt ranked first among all RBs with 60+ carries in 2024; 2025 injuries and offensive line decline (22nd in adjusted line yards) depressed his efficiency, but Fitzmaurice argues the committee narrative is overblown given Irving's superior receiving ability (1.56 yards per route run vs. Gainwell's 1.19) and Tucker's prior goal-line role not preventing Irving's touches.
