Bucky Irving

I can get on board with that.

Uh, Bucky Irving here, you have a sell high.

I'm, uh, uh, I'm curious, I think you're like the only one in this camp.

A lot of people are really encouraged.

It was like an all-time great hyper efficiency season as a rookie.

Um, but I don't know.

I know you're not the biggest, uh, Bucky Irving fan.

You're more of a skeptic anyway, so it just seems like a good buy low opportunity just especially if, like- You have a savvier league that's, like, on Twitter following fantasy analysts because all these fantasy analysts are like, "Yeah, he- this is we're back to rookie Bucky.

I'll go with Rico.

I went with another running back who really didn't see a ton of work, Bucky Irving, against the Bengals.

He had eight carries, which you're like, "Oh my gosh," like, "Did he do anything with them?" Eight for 45 with a rushing touchdown.

Saw seven targets, seven receptions, 48.

If these trends continue.

Emeka Egbuka, six targets.

Bucky Irving, seven targets.

What is happening here? How does that happen?

Austin Ekeler named him as a my guy on our show back in August, and he pops off for three touchdowns last week against Buffalo.

Now he gets the Cincinnati defense that, although they looked a little bit better last week, they still allowed a touchdown and 5.6 a carry to Bucky Irving.

I would feel very, very confident having David Montgomery in your lineup as a solid RB2 with RB1 upside.

Every game day, you show up for your team.

As he battles this timeshare, he's coming back from the high ankle sprain and, of course, a really stingy Seattle run defense.

He is okay to start, but I just wouldn't be expecting these big explosive games out of Love just yet.

At number 22, someone I was very critical of all summer, that's Bucky Irving, and I have to admit he had a great week one.

He looked awesome, 93 total yards and a touchdown.

So to me, the bet on Emmitt Johnson was always a little bit more of him being a very, very premier handcuff, who even more than Mike Washington, is a guy that I trust to play in all high-value touch situations if and when he would ever have the chance at a lead role.

You know, I think there were some concerns from his college profile in terms of, can a guy who's kinda smaller, slower, doesn't have as many of the elite, like, per touch advanced metrics that some of the guys who've succeeded like this, an Aaron Jones, a, a Bucky Irving, even a Devin Singletary had coming out of college, is this a guy that a team would draft high enough to have a featured role? You know, that made me a little bit nervous about him pre-draft.

But sliding all the way to day three, going to a spot where he is, unfortunately for him, a, a pretty clear-cut number two, he has everything that I want in a handcuff.

And I, I mean, I don't think we're gonna get the payoff for a long time, 'cause Ken Walker looks pretty phenomenal.

[laughs]

[laughs] Over to Bucky Irving.

Oh, stop.

[laughs] That was crazy.

So is, is Bucky Ir- [laughs]

[laughs]

Is Bucky Irving, is he an every week...

Can you count on him next week to get the same amount of volume, to get the same amount of target share, to be an every week starter for you week over week? Do you feel good about that?

Uh, Ibuka, Godwin both had duds.

Ir- Bucky Irving was the only playable or-

Mm-hmm

... only decent Buccaneer in fantasy.

Still has Chris Godwin who only had four targets, but about 40 yards on those targets, which is really good.

Might have Jalen McMillan back.

Bucky Irving looks like Bucky Irving again.

Maybe Kenneth Gainwell gets more involved in the passing game.

Austin Eckler named him as a my guy on our show back in August, and he pops off for three touchdowns last week against Buffalo.

Now he gets the Cincinnati defense that, although they looked a little bit better last week, they still allowed a touchdown and 5.6 a carry to Bucky Irving.

I would feel very, very confident having David Montgomery in your lineup as a solid RB2 with RB1 upside.

Y'all know I have a Jeff Janis signed rookie card, one of my prized possessions.

As he battles this timeshare, he's coming back from the high ankle sprain and, of course, a really stingy Seattle run defense.

He is okay to start, but I just wouldn't be expecting these big explosive games out of Love just yet.

At number 22, someone I was very critical of all summer, that's Bucky Irving.

And I have to admit, he had a great week one.

They got to figure it out on defense because you have weapons.

Bucky Irving played well and Mecca and Buka had some catches.

Just didn't get it in the end zone.

Chris Godwin's back after his injury.

Um, but I'll tell you why.

Uh, her team, Josh Allen, Chase Brown, Garrett Wilson, Trey McBride, Bucky Irving.

Yeah.

Like, they, sure, they lost, but that's a formidable cart if you ask me.
