Bucky Irving

Bucky Irving had a sophomore season to forget. He was limited to 10 games because of injury - and he was wildly inefficient. He posted the 4th-lowest rushing success rate, finishing third-worst in YPC (3.4). The second-year RB scored one rushing TD in 2025.
Even with Rachaad White all but gone in free agency, Todd Bowles' other favorite RB, Sean Tucker, might continue to rear his ugly head again near the goal line in 2026. Not to mention, Kenneth Gainwell will also be vying for targets after signing with TB in free agency. Irving probably wasn't the same guy returning from injury as the first four weeks of the season; he was extremely productive, averaging 15.6 PPG. But after his return, he just had 10.2 PPG playing in a broken Bucs' offense.

Fantasy Impact

Irving was limited to just 10 games in the 2025 season due to ankle and shoulder injuries, the latter of which he hopes was corrected by surgery. The 2024 breakout star rushed for 588 yards with only one touchdown in 2025, following a rookie season in which he accumulated 1,112 rushing yards alongside eight touchdowns while appearing in all 17 regular-season games.
