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

Potential game-time decision
Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles suggested Friday that Irving (back/hip) may be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bowles said the team wants to put Irving through a pre-game workout before making a decision on his active status. A 'questionable' designation on the final injury report now seems likely, with fantasy managers potentially headed for a tricky situation ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Growing into expanded role
Coach Todd Bowles believes that Irving is comfortable in the offense and could continue to see his role expand, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Irving has slowly boosted his role in the Buccaneers' backfield as the season has progressed, but he saw his usage jump significantly in the team's Week 13 overtime win. He earned a career-high 25 carries and racked up 152 yards, and Bowles' comments suggest he'll continue to serve as Tampa Bay's lead back. One complicating factor is that Irving is currently dealing with a hip injury, though he's downplayed the significance of the issue.
