The Buccaneers are looking to clinch the NFC South when they square off with the rival Saints on Sunday afternoon. Bucky Irving has been a revelation and is unquestionably the best rookie running back.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Tampa is currently a 14-point favorite, with the game’s total set at 44.5 points. Below, I’ve detailed my favorite prop bet centered around Irving for this divisional clash.
Best Bucky Irving Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Bucky Irving 25+ Receiving Yards (+120)
Even as a rookie, Bucky Irving is one of the most talented running backs in the league. He rode the pine early due to concerns about his pass protection, but Tampa quickly realized it was impossible to keep him off the field. Irving is “small” for the position but is a machine between the tackles and shedding defenders.
He’s been so efficient that offensive coordinator Liam Coen has prioritized feeding the first-year star the rock. That includes in the passing game, where Irving has turned heads. Irving has had over 25 receiving yards in five outings, including 77 in his most recent performance against Carolina. He’s deadly in open spaces and a viable check-down outlet.
If Irving can get a few designed screens, he can surpass this threshold in a few receptions. New Orleans has a sneaky solid defense but is no match for this powerhouse unit. Irving is on a heater, and this is the best way to take advantage of his sizzling stretch while getting excellent value.
