Fantasy Upside
Bucky Irving has a chance to see some work as a rookie after the Bucs took him in the fourth round of April's draft. Last season at Oregon, Irving rushed 186 times for 1,180 yards (6.3 yards per carry) and 11 touchdowns. He also caught 56 passes for 413 yards and two touchdowns.
Fantasy Downside
Irving is still competing with Chase Edmonds for the RB2 role. Even if he wins the RB2 role, he'll be behind Rachaad White, who figures to see plenty of work again after his 336-touch season in 2023.
2024 Bottom Line
Irving could be sprinkled into the offense thanks to his elusiveness and ability to break tackles. But at most, he's a handcuff to White. If White is out, Irving could have some flex appeal.
