Bucky Irving

✦ Blitz AI

Bucky Irving's 79.8 rating puts him in the solid-starter tier at running back, ranked 24th at the position. His rating dropped 2.1 points from the previous update, primarily because his established-talent baseline blend is pulling a strong 10-game sample toward more conservative expectations. Irving has played only 10 games in 2025, which triggered a sample-size adjustment that weighted his 85.7 raw score at 83 percent against the full-season average, and his current season is being blended at 56 percent with his elite 92.2 rating from a healthy 2024. His opportunity metrics are exceptional (87th percentile) and he commands significant touches (78th percentile snap share), but he's generating less value per touch than the position's top backs, sitting in the 61st percentile for efficiency and 45th percentile for context-adjusted efficiency. The foot and shoulder injuries that cost him 7 games this year have factored into the baseline blend, though he was in full practice participation as of week 15.
