Irving shoved it down the throat of everyone who faded him at his fifth-round ADP or later this summer. Sean Tucker's absence in Week 1 could have something to do with the fact that Irving got 100% of the rushing attempts in the red zone, but it was his involvement in the passing game that came as the bigger surprise.

Irving dominated passing game work with 31.8% TPRR, validating late-round ADP.

Irving shoved it down the throat of everyone who faded him at his fifth-round ADP or later; Sean Tucker's absence in Week 1 led to Irving getting 100% of the rushing attempts in the red zone. More significantly, Irving ran 61.1% of the routes to Kenneth Gainwell's 36.1%, earning 7 targets (31.8% TPRR) and 2.9 fantasy points per target while maintaining his expected role inside the 20s (53.3% of rush attempts, 61.5% of snaps overall). The source notes Irving looked as spry as his rookie season and the arrow is pointing straight up for the third-year running back if he maintains even close to this type of usage in the passing game.
