Young RB with proof and a long runway.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.96
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×1.03
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Combine ×1.00
Athletic composite 4.0/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).
Quick answer
Buy lowIrving ran for 406 yards and caught 15 passes in 2026, ranking RB14 through 5 games. RB14 through 5 games is the running rank, next to a RB33 season. Only 10 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
