Bottom Line

The Buccaneers addressed their lack of RB depth by drafting Irving in the fourth round of the NFL Draft.

Irving is multi-faceted, leading Oregon in rushing over the last two years while also being a major part of the passing game.

His talent gives him an instant edge to be the bac-up RB to Rachaad White and earn snaps. If White gets injured, Irving could be an every-week fantasy starter.

We are higher on Irving than his ADP as an upside shot to take late in drafts.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Irving was selected by the Buccaneers with the 125th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
  • He spent one season at Minnesota and two seasons at Oregon.
  • Irving led Oregon in rushing over the last two seasons.
  • He never missed a college game due to injury.
  • In 2023, he had the best year of his career:
    • 186 carries
    • 1,180 yards
    • 6.34 yards per carry
    • 11 rushing TDs
  • Irving recorded the 25th most rushing yards in the FBS.
  • He ranked 44th in the FBS in rushing yards per game with 84.29.
  • Irving is also a capable receiver. He graded 13th among RBs in Pro Football Focus receiving grade last year, totaling 56 receptions for 413 yards and two TDs.
  • At the NFL Combine, Irving measured in at 5’9, 192 pounds
  • He ran a 4.55 40-yard dash at the Combine and registered a poor 2.22 Relative Athletic Score.

What to Expect in 2024

  • Irving enters his first season with the Buccaneers under HC Todd Bowles
  • New OC Liam Coen spent last year as the Kentucky OC after coordinating the Rams in 2022.
    • In 2022, the Rams ranked 25th with 411 rushing attempts.
  • The Buccaneers are expected to take a slight step backward. They are tied for second in the NFC South with a 7.5 win total at most sportsbooks.
  • The Buccaneers have the 21st-highest odds to win the Super Bowl at +5500 on most sportsbooks, second best in the division.
  • Irving enters his first season at 22 years old. According to our aging curve research, the average RB with Irving’s draft capital and profile produces at 98% of his peak value at age-22.
  • Rachaad White is the clear favorite to lead Bucs RBs in carries this season. But there’s room for Irving to steal some touches considering how inefficient White was last season. Among 51 RBs with 90+ carries last year, he ranked:
    • 44th in Pro Football Focus rushing grade
    • 28th in PFF’s Elusive Rating
    • 46th in NFL Next Gen Stats’ Rush Yards Over Expected Per Attempt

Bucky Irving Impressive in Loss

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving was explosive running the ball picking up 68 carries on 16 rushes, including one TD. He made the Cowboys defense miss numerous tackles throughout the game and was utilized in the passing game. He caught all three for his targets for 24 yards as well

Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. HC Todd Bowles called him a game-time decision on Friday morning, but he’s evidently unlikely to play. The other TEs on Tampa Bay’s roster are Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, and Devin Culp. None is a viable fantasy play. Otton’s absence should push more targets to the WRs and RBs.

Update: The Buccaneers downgraded Otton to out.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (back, hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. There was optimism about his status throughout the weekend, but it remains unclear how big a workload he’ll handle today. The Bucs might not even know until they see how Irving’s body is holding up once this game gets going. Consider the rookie a risk/reward fantasy start.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (back, hip) is expected to play vs. the Chargers this afternoon, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That jibes with Jeremy Fowler's Saturday report on Irving. The rookie certainly seems on track to play today, but it's still uncertain how much work he'll be given and/or be able to handle. Irving had huge games in Weeks 12 and 13 but lasted just 10 snaps in Week 14. That's a good illustration of his range of outcomes today. Use the Who To Start Tool to see if Irving makes sense for your fantasy lineup.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler hears that there's "optimism" about RB Bucky Irving's status for Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. "Irving has been feeling better later this week and hopes to play, per a source," Fowler writes. "He reaggravated his hip pointer injury from a week ago but is trending in the right direction." Irving has also been dealing with back tightness and will come with elevated risk in Week 15 fantasy lineups. But he could also deliver nice production if his body cooperates. We'll look for further updates on his status but won't get the Chargers' inactives until a little before 3 pm ET tomorrow.

Dynasty Write-up
Irving performed as one of the most elusive RBs in this class. From 2022 to 2023, he forced a missed tackle every 2.5 carries – a terrific mark. He’s undersized at 5’9, 192 pounds, and pass protection limitations could limit his snaps early on. Irving also bombed at the Combine, registering an ugly 3.71 Relative Athletic Score. The Bucs provide a fine landing spot, though, at least for an immediate part-time role.
