Bucky Irving has been awesome in 2026, looking much closer to the Bucky we saw in his rookie year. His ranks among 39 qualifying RBs, per @FantasyPtsData: + 10th in YPC (4.65) + 11th in explosive rush yards/att (1.91) + 11th in EPA/Rush (0.037) + 13th in rush yards over expected/att (0.29) + 14th in MTF/att (0.18) This is despite his offense being 28th in the NFL in EPA/Play. A good reminder that RB efficiency is heavily influenced by small sample variance, injury, and environment (TB OL inj...PositiveUsageSep 21, 2026

Bucky Irving from Week 6 on in his rookie year (first time he saw north of 12 touches), was the RB6 in receptions (39) and RB8 in receiving YPG (28.8), per @FantasyPtsData. This was on just a 36.7% (!) route share, and with Rachaad White running MORE routes than him in this time. In year 2 before his injury (Week 1-4), Bucky was 3rd among all RBs in both receptions (19) and in receiving YPG (48.3). Bucky has been a really efficient receiver out of the backfield, as his career 1.79 YPRR since...PositiveUsageAug 3, 2026
Bucky Irving posted a wildly impressive rookie season (top 5 efficiency, RB7 Wk10 on), and then got an elite workload in year 2 before injury (RB9 in XFP/G). Taking the upside in round 5 and not worrying about career backups behind him as a real threat.PositiveUsageJun 15, 2026
Bucky Irving has flipped from one of the worst values in drafts at 3/4 turn, to one of the best heading towards the 5/6 turn now. He showed us elite ability just one year ago in 2024, top 5 in virtually every efficiency category (explosive %, MTF/Att, YACo/Att, etc) and RB7 production in the 2nd half of the season (16.8 FP/G). His workload prior to injury in 2025 was elite too. He was the RB9 in XFP/G through Week 4 (per @FantasyPtsData) before missing several games and coming back to a more...
