Running Back · Tampa Bay Buccaneers · Age 24 · Oregon · RB25 PPR (Week 4 2026)
Bucky Irving is ranked RB25 (overall #25) for the Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season in PPR fantasy football by Hayden of The Underdog Football Show.
Irving only had 1 touch in the 4th quarter last week after dominating touches early. After having a drop in the flats, Irving's final snap was a tough pass-protection rep that resulted on him allowing a sack while laying on his back himself. A combination of the Vikings' chaos defense and his shoulder injury history probably played into that surge in Kenneth Gainwell playing time. Sean Tucker still only played 1 snap. As the lead back of a struggling offense, Irving has mustered up an RB19 on RB16 usage start to the year, but things look far worse moving forward with an UDFA rookie QB. Irving isn't a huge explosive play threat right now with mediocre long speed, but the 4.3 receptions per game (RB5) are enough to keep some FLEX faith unless they start using Gainwell in that role, too. Tampa Bay only has an 18.0-point team total in Jalon Daniels' debut. Expectations should be altered.
