By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 5th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Last week, Irving went full legend mode with 28 touches and 185 total yards. He logged a touch or target on 65% of his snaps played. Irving has been balling out this season. The rookie has offered a huge spark to the Bucs offense. Since Week 7, he has averaged 16.7 touches and 103.1 total yards per game as the RB7 in fantasy points per game. Among 57 qualifying backs, Irving ranks eighth in explosive run rate, fourth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and third in yards after contact per attempt. This week, Irving will be tested against an improved Raiders run defense. Since Week 8, the Raiders have allowed the tenth-lowest explosive run rate, the third-fewest rushing yards per game, the third-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 12th-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
