“But his competence in pass-protection as well as his chops as a receiver out of the backfield made him a valuable piece to the Buccaneers, even after they landed Bucky Irving.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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).”

“Bucky Irving ‘s rookie season was as impressive as they come, considering his draft capital (125th overall).”

“Players to Avoid at 1.12 Fantasy Football Draft Pick Brock Bowers (TE – LV) & Trey McBride (TE – ARI) Whether you prefer Brock Bowers or Trey McBride doesn’t really matter here.”

“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.”

“Taking a look at the top options from last season, McBride averaged 11.2 fantasy points per game, and Bowers averaged 9.4 points per game.”

“It’s easy to identify the top tier of tight ends in fantasy football this season: Brock Bowers Trey McBride Colston Loveland Tyler Warren Kyle Pitts Tucker Kraft But what does the position look like after that top tier? Below are three tight ends you can draft in the later rounds who have the upside to finish in the top five at the position.”

“There are three tight ends guaranteed to land in the first four rounds: Brock Bowers , Trey McBride , and Colston Loveland .”

“Round 3: Colston Loveland (TE – CHI) I thought about Trey McBride in the previous round, but given the extra boost for tight end receptions, I needed to snag a top player at the position.”

“Cardinals TE Trey McBride has become a prolific fantasy scorer.”

“The second round did see the top two TEs go off the board – Brock Bowers at 2.04 and Trey McBride at 2.06. In a full PPR format, the elite TEs could separate themselves even more than usual, with guys like Bowers and McBride as two of the few guys at the position who could lead their team in targets.”

“In full-PPR formats, running backs and wide receivers split the top 10 in points per game 50/50, while running backs made up 10 of the top 20 spots in those leagues ( Trey McBride was in there as a tight end).”

“Starting WR/WR with Drake London or Nico Collins in round two could let you lean into Zero RB with an elite tight end such as Brock Bowers or Trey McBride .”

“Let’s use last season’s leading TE scorer, Trey McBride , as an example. He scored 315.9 PPR fantasy points last season. In TE-premium, where he gets an extra half-point for each of his 126 receptions, McBride scored 378.9 fantasy points.”

“McBride ran 156 more routes last year than any other tight end. This fact and McBride’s talent fueled plenty of fantasy teams to championships last season. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, McBride was first in target share (25.4%), receiving yards per game (72.9), red zone targets (32), and first-read share (33.8%).”
