Over the past two weeks, Irving has been RB16 and RB18 in weekly scoring, averaging 14 touches and 80.5 total yards. He shot 35-42% of the shots. Among the 43 running backs who qualified, he ranks second in explosive rush rate, fourth in fumbles forced and seventh in yards after contact per attempt. This is a good week to consider picking another player over Irving. The Chiefs have allowed the lowest explosive rushing rate, the second-lowest rushing yards per game and the sixth-lowest pass percentage. They also held off the 11th-lowest receiving yards per game, so Irving probably can’t use the pass rush to bail him out in Week 9.
