News: 2 days agoIrving rushed 13 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and secured all three targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

Spin: Irving outpaced Rachaad White by three carries and 42 rushing yards while adding his fourth rushing TD of the season on a 12-yard run early in the fourth quarter. Irving's carry total was the second highest of his young career, and he now has six straight games with multiple receptions. The 2024 fourth-round pick should enjoy a solid complementary role at minimum in a Week 12 road matchup against the Giants following a Week 11 bye.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Irving was taken with with the 125th pick in the draft by the Buccaneers and will look to complement Rachaad White in the Tampa backfield. Irving is quick and gets up to speed in a hurry, but doesn't possess breakaway speed. He also doesn't appear to be anything more than a check-down option in the passing game. White is still the starter for the Buccaneers and Irving will simply be hoping to battle with Chase Edmonds in order to become the team's RB2. Irving is no more than a late-round insurance flier.
