From the episode

It was definitely probably not 100% last season, but 2.3 yards after contact per attempt. That was the lowest mark among running backs with at least 100 carries last season.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Irving is overvalued at ADP 51 due to poor efficiency and role risk

Matthew Berry is lower on Bucky Irving than his current ADP of 51, citing poor efficiency metrics from last season, including the lowest yards after contact per attempt among RBs with 100+ carries. Berry expects Kenneth Gainwell to cut into Irving's workload, limiting his fantasy ceiling.
