Bucky Irving vs Brock Bowers

“-Wolf Trelles-Heard Bucky Irving (RB – TB) Bucky Irving had a sophomore season to forget.”

“Last year, Swift was the RB15, averaging 14.3 PPR fantasy points per game, a higher average than Bucky Irving (13.8) and Kenneth Walker III (11.3).”

“01 | Bucky Irving | RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers After breaking out late in his rookie season, Bucky Irving didn’t quite live up to the hype in his abbreviated 2025 season. After missing Weeks 5-12, he tried to play through a nagging shoulder injury — one that would require surgery this past February.”

“Bucky Irving (RB – TB) Following a phenomenal rookie season in 2024, Bucky Irving plummeted back to Earth last season, limping through 10 injury-laden games and finishing as the RB33. Irving was never himself, attempting to play through a lingering A/C joint sprain in his shoulder before sustaining a pedal sprain in Week 4 that sidelined him for six games. When he was on the field, the Buccaneers gave Irving plenty of work, but he couldn’t duplicate the explosiveness managers saw the year prior.”

“There has yet to be a positive report about Bucky Irving this offseason.”

“Bucky Irving has dealt with a number of injuries in his short career with a foot sprain and a shoulder/ AC joint sprain last year. Rewinding to 2024, he also dealt with hip, back, toe, and hamstring issues.”

“Bucky Irving , who is returning from a foot and shoulder injury that limited him to 588 rushing yards in 2025 after a breakout rookie campaign in 2024.”

“Check out all of DBro’s top fantasy football draft picks to target >> Bucky Irving (TB) It seems as if everyone in the fantasy community is fading Bucky Irving.”

“If Bucky Irving struggles to stay healthy for the second consecutive season, Gainwell could have a career year”

“100 | (RB35) To be clear, Bucky Irving isn’t fading away despite a down season last year”

“It’s odd that so many people are forgetting just how good Irving was over a fairly large sample size of games over the second half of his rookie season. Buy the dip.”

“8 | Diff: +3 Over the last two seasons, with Bucky Irving in town, Rachaad White was a more effective per-touch player, but with Irving out of the lineup last year, he proved again that he can carry the mail (although while being horribly inefficient).”

“There are three tight ends guaranteed to land in the first four rounds: Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, and Colston Loveland. I’m willing to draft Bowers and Loveland at cost, but not McBride.”

“I think it’s worth paying up at tight end this year, and I’m willing to take Brock Bowers anywhere in the back half of the second round in 12-team drafts.”

“There are great expectations for Brock Bowers in his third NFL season following an injury-plagued Year 2. Bowers had five catches for 103 yards in the Raiders’ 2025 season opener against the Patriots, but he sustained a PCL injury and bone bruise to his left knee in that game, was clearly hampered over his next three games (with under 50 receiving yards in each) and was shut down for three games.”

“Brock Bowers (TE – LV) & Trey McBride (TE – ARI) Whether you prefer Brock Bowers or Trey McBride doesn’t really matter. Neither should be drafted this high. Last season, McBride averaged 18.6 PPR points per game, and Bowers averaged 15.5 in 2024, the better season of his two years in the NFL.”

“Brock Bowers (TE – LV) Hopefully, Bowers stays healthy after missing five games because of injury in 2025. However, he was still a fantasy star when on the field, ranking as the TE2 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 14.7 PPR fantasy points per game.”

“The same holds true for tight end, where half of the teams will be fielding Brock Bowers , Trey McBride , Colston Loveland or Tyler Warren .”

“However, he was still a fantasy star when on the field, ranking as the TE2 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 14.7 PPR fantasy points per game. Despite the awful offense and playing in five fewer games, Bowers had more receiving touchdowns last year than as a rookie (seven vs. five).”

“With Klint Kubiak in town, Fernando Mendoza or Kirk Cousins at the helm, a healthy Brock Bowers , and improved blocking up front, Jeanty could be poised to post a strong RB1 season in his second season. After the injury scare over the weekend concerning Ashton Jeanty , it was believed that Mike Washington Jr. would go screaming up the draft boards.”

“During his three seasons in Baltimore, Mark Andrews remained a major part of the offense: 2025 : 16th among tight ends in fantasy points; 13th in touchdowns 2024 : 5th among tight ends in fantasy points; 1st in touchdowns 2023 : 15th among tight ends in fantasy points; 2nd in touchdowns Before Baltimore, Monken spent three seasons at Georgia, where he coached Brock Bowers. In 2021 and 2022, Bowers posted at least 850+ receiving yards in each season and combined for 20 receiving touchdowns.”

“After all, TE1 Brock Bowers goes around the mid-2nd round, after selecting approximately 18 RBs and WRs. If we’re confident Bowers finishes as the overall TE1, that could make sense. But we also know that around half of those RBs and WRs will bust, which means plenty of candidates can still score 250 at those positions.”

“Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty are unique, as they can definitely coexist. Jeanty will run a bunch and catch a lot of passes, while Bowers will have wide receiver-esque production in this offense, with a target share that could reach 30%.”

“Brock Bowers (TE – LV) Going around the 21st overall pick, Bowers has real belief behind him as a potential consensus first-round pick a year from now.”
