By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Oct 11th 2024, 6:05pm EDT

Irving will operate as the Bucs lead back for Week 6 with Rachaad White out. Over the last two weeks, he has played 42-43% of the snaps while averaging 11 touches and 55.5 total yards. Irving has been extremely efficient with his touches (among 59 qualifying backs), ranking seventh in explosive run rate, sixth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 13th in yards after contact per attempt. New Orleans continues to be a tough run defense, allowing the seventh-lowest explosive run rate, the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game, and the second-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Irving is a volume-based RB2.
