Irving is the clearer top option in TB’s backfield, with Tucker as a backup insurance policy. Irving’s role and production drive Tucker’s dynasty value, making Irving the focal point for TB’s rushing attack and the primary dynasty asset in this specific backfield dynamic.

Irving rode volume in Week 1 but was hampered by efficiency and a difficult matchup. The Texans’ front four plus Will Anderson Jr. could challenge his production; still, his 74% rushing share and 13% target share keep him in the mix with solid volume upside if he converts yardage.

Irving adds depth at the backfield, offering ball security and multi-faceted usage in a run-pass option attack that can surprise opponents.

Irving burst onto the scene as a rookie, finishing fourth among RBs in PFF overall grade and riding a backfield that could lean into a full-time role. With a full season and potential to carry more snaps, Irving is a strong DFS and red-zone candidate with over 1,000 rushing yards a real possibility.

Irving is pitched as a potential three-down back for Tampa Bay, projected into the top tier of 2025 RBs due to a storyline of designed third-down plays and a workload that could push him into the upper echelon with strong rushing and receiving numbers.
