Among 50 running backs with at least 250 routes run since 2024, Irving is fourth in yards per route run (1.76) and tied for eighth in targets per route run (0.23). Irving's ceiling is higher as a runner, and he should handle more carries than Gainwell, but both running backs can cook the Bengals as pass-catchers. A closer game would probably benefit Irving.

Irving's elite pass-catching efficiency exploits Cincinnati's worst run-defense matchup.

Irving is a strong DFS option against Cincinnati's weak run defense. Among 50 running backs with at least 250 routes run since 2024, Irving ranks 4th in yards per route run (1.76) and tied for 8th in targets per route run (0.23). Cincinnati allowed the most DraftKings points per game (28.4) and FanDuel points per game (26.0) to running backs last year. Irving's ceiling is higher as a runner, and he should handle more carries than Gainwell, but both running backs can cook the Bengals as pass-catchers. A closer game would probably benefit Irving.
