Bucky Irving (at Falcons)
The Bucky Irving experience was phenomenal in the 2024-25 season, and his rising ADP shows that the fantasy industry is fully bought in. They are right to be. He closed last season with 17+ touches in six of his final seven games and a 25-yard play in five of them. As a result, the departure of offensive coordinator Liam Coen, who is now in Jacksonville, is not ideal.
However, great coaches work to the strengths of their best players. The year Irving and Coen spent together proved that he is a unique talent who caught the eye of a high-end talent evaluator. The coaching change brings some role risk, but his ability is undeniable.
Against the Atlanta Falcons last season, Irving gained five or more yards on eight of his 18 carries and caught all nine of his targets. Both of those games happened before Halloween, before his role expanded.
The Falcons did not have an answer for him then, and not enough has changed to move Irving out of the RB1 tier for Week 1 rankings. This game projects to be one of the highest-scoring matchups in the first week of the season, and Irving’s managers should expect to be in on the fun.
Cam Skattebo (at Commanders)
At Arizona State, Cam Skattebo proved he could do it all, finishing his career with 293 carries for 1,711 yards and 21 touchdowns, along with 45 catches for 605 yards and three scores. While Tyrone Tracy Jr. played well as a rookie for the New York Giants with 1,123 yards from scrimmage, this profile is a competition that could swing in either direction.
I expect Tracy to hold the edge in snaps and touches through September as a reward for his rookie performance, but the Giants spent more draft capital on the former Sun Devil. Skattebo’s style of play has the potential to earn him work quickly.
It is difficult to feel good about flexing him against the Washington Commanders without knowing what his touch count will look like. However, for a team that could easily go winless through September, I would be shocked if we do not see Skattebo’s usage ramp up in short order. Many fantasy managers are reactionary, and this is a spot where you can take advantage of that. The rookie will not change, barring an injury during the season opener.
If this is the Tracy show out of the gates, you could be looking at a cheap buying window that could pay off in the long term, perhaps just in time for a fantasy Super Bowl matchup in Las Vegas as New York plays out a likely lost season.
