Irving was disrespected in draft; Week 1 shows he's the clear RB1 with strong passing involvement.

Irving was disrespected in the draft despite being the clear lead back for Tampa Bay in Week 1. He recorded 8 carries, 7 receptions, 31 total yards, 1 touchdown, and 16.8 fantasy points. Notably, Irving was heavily involved in the passing game even as the Bucs trailed most of the game, with Irving receiving snaps and routes instead of free-agent signing Kenny Gainwell. This demonstrates Tampa Bay's confidence in Irving as the RB1, not as a secondary option. The source projects him as a solid RB2 option lined up well for another strong outing against Cleveland.
