2024 Fantasy Outlook
Irving is a skilled player, both as a runner and receiver, and he was highly productive at both Minnesota and Oregon. The question of his NFL viability is less certain, as Irving tumbled to the fourth round of the 2024 Draft after posting disappointing numbers at the combine. Fellow former Pac-12 back Myles Gaskin could be a cautionary tale -- Gaskin was an exceptionally productive four-year player at Washington, yet in the NFL a lack of power and speed has caught up to him. Following a 4.55-second 40 time at 192 pounds, Irving heads to the NFL with some of the same concerns. He's unlikely to challenge incumbent starter Rachaad White in any meaningful way, but Irving could earn a change-of-pace role in an offense that otherwise lacks backfield talent. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Last Thursday, coach Todd Bowles revealed that Irving was dealing with a toe injury that may linger for the rest of the season, but he was able to suit up Monday in Kansas City and turn his 10 touches into 34 yards from scrimmage.. Meanwhile, backfield mate Rachaad White had six touchees for 35 total yards and one rushing TD, and Sean Tucker notched four touches for 17 yards. A similar breakdown for the trio likely will be the weekly reality as long as Irving continues to be able to play on game day.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Most productive rookie back?
RBTampa Bay Buccaneers
September 1, 2024
Dan Graziano of ESPN believes Irving could be the most productive rookie running back in 2024.
ANALYSIS
There's been considerable buzz that Irving could overtake Rachaad White as the lead back in Tampa Bay, so this wouldn't be all that much of a surprise -- particularly in a week running back class. Graziano points to White's inefficiency on the ground -- he's averaged only 3.7 yards per carry through two pro seasons -- and the fact that Irving has impressed during training camp to back up his assertion. His case is also strengthened by the fact that Panthers second-rounder Jonathon Brooks will begin the season on the PUP list as he continues to recover from a torn ACL.
