STACKED’s take
Irving's 85 utilization score and 62% snap share support upgrade to mid-range RB2.
Irving held a sizeable advantage over Kenny Gainwell in Week 1, handling 62% of snaps and 58% route participation rate. He stayed on the field in long-down-and-distance situations with 75% of those reps and led the team with 53% of rushing attempts. Irving accounted for 3 of 5 short-yardage snaps and finished with 20.3 fantasy points and an 85 Utilization Score—well above David Montgomery's score despite Montgomery scoring more points. Historically, RBs with an 85 Utilization Score have averaged 16.4 points with 63% securing top-12 finishes. Dwain McFarland upgrades Irving to mid-range RB2 territory, noting this positive step after falling from Round 3 to Round 5 due to Gainwell signing.
