Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving is ranked #33 among 110 eligible NFL running backs. He profiles as a bench or matchup-based option — draft late or stream when the schedule lines up. His final five games came in 3.8 points per game below his average — but his workload held (19.8 touches/game vs 20.8 on the season), so the dip is scoring efficiency, not usage. That usually bounces back.

He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #121 overall, #33 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 55.7 (roughly round 5 in a 12-team league). We rank him #103 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is priced above our projection.
We project 13.8 PPR points per game across an expected 12 games — approximately 166 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 8.3 and 16.1 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #66 in projected scoring (#103 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 70% of games, with a floor of 8.1 and a ceiling of 25.5 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 20% of games and busted (under half his average) in 0%.
