Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White rushed for one yard on one carry during Sunday's playoff loss to the Washington Commanders. He also caught two passes for an additional 14 yards through the air. White's usage as a ball carrier continues to dwindle, and he now has just 10 carries over his last four contests. His passing game usage has been a little more promising he had seven catches in Week 16 and had more receiving yards than Bucky Irving this past Sunday but it's still not enough to put him back on the fantasy radar in most leagues. White's fall from fantasy stardom has been nearly unprecedented, and his role will likely remain the same as Irving leads the backfield in 2025. As a result, White will rank as a high-end RB4, assuming he remains with Tampa Bay.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has seen his role in the offense heavily decrease over the last few weeks. In fact, White didn't record a single touch during the regular season finale against the New Orleans Saints. Before that, White had seen a total of nine touches on the ground over his previous two games. Fellow back Bucky Irving has run away with the lead back job in Tampa Bay, which is bad news for White heading into Sunday's Wild-Card game against the Washington Commanders. It's unclear what kind of role White is going to have this weekend, but he might not play at all. It's possible that White becomes the receiving back while Irving does a majority of the rushing. However, DFS shouldn't trust White at all for this Wild Card round.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White did not receive a touch in Sunday's 27-19 win over the New Orleans Saints. Woof. Despite playing 18 snaps (27%), the Arizona State product was not utilized. It's the second time in his career -- and first since Week 3 of his rookie season -- that he was active and did not get any work. Backfield mate Bucky Irving dominated touches, and even rookie back Sean Tucker garnered two carries over the third-year pro. It's a poor ending to the year for White, who now enters 2025, bolstering little more than handcuff appeal after finishing 2023 as the PPR RB4. He'll get a slightly tougher test in next weekend's Wild Card round against the visiting Washington Commanders. Still, he'll be tough to trust as a DFS option after goose-egging fantasy managers in the season finale.
Jan 6, 2025 2:34 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has seen his role on offense diminish over the last few weeks. In fact, White has only rushed the ball nine times over the last two games. Luckily for fantasy managers, White has remained involved in the passing attack with eight receptions for 54 yards over that span. Rookie back Bucky Irving has earned his way to the lead back job in Tampa Bay. That being said, White figures to be the backup going forward and probably the primary receiving back. Fantasy managers in high-PPR leagues could still get decent value out of White. Otherwise, White will be a shaky fantasy option for the Week 18 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Jan 3, 2025 8:11 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White once again took a backseat to Bucky Irving in the backfield on Sunday. White rushed the ball six times for 30 yards while hauling in his lone target for four additional yards through the air. It was another dud from White who has become an afterthought with Irving having so much success lately. Irving recorded his third 100-plus yard performance during Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. The rookie back appears to have taken over as the full-time back in Tampa Bay, so White looks like he's just going to be the backup going forward. That being said, White won't have great streaming appeal for the Week 18 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Dec 29, 2024 6:26 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was barely involved on the ground during last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. White only rushed the ball three times for 10 yards, but he salvaged his fantasy value in PPR formats by hauling in seven of his eight targets for 50 yards. Fellow back Bucky Irving isn't going anywhere as he continues to impress on the ground. That being said, the two of them should continue splitting up the carries going forward. White has looked better on the ground lately with 64 yards or more in three of his last four games. Despite that, White shouldn't be trusted as anything more than a flex option for the Week 17 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Dec 27, 2024 8:40 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White rushed for 10 yards on three carries during Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. More importantly, he caught seven of his eight targets for an additional 50 yards through the air. This showing helped fantasy managers in PPR leagues, but his production was arguably all for naught as he coughed up a game-losing fumble in the final minutes of Sunday Night Football. Given that White registered just three carries to Bucky Irving's 16, he'll likely need to maintain a very large role in the passing game in order to have fantasy value going forward. With that said, pass-catching productivity hasn't been an issue so far for White, who has scored more than eight fantasy points (PPR) in all but one of his games this year. The 25-year-old is an appealing RB2 or RB3 option heading into Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. When he last faced Carolina, White had a whopping 6.9 yards per carry but caught just one pass.
Dec 23, 2024 12:24 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White remains in a timeshare in the backfield, but that hasn't stopped him from producing over the last few weeks. White struggled on the ground through most of the season, but has rushed for 64 yards or more in each of the last three games. It's also worth noting that White has hauled in two touchdowns through the air over that span. White has proven to be a viable red zone option for the Bucs and that should continue in Week 16. He'll get a plus-matchup against the Dallas Cowboys defense. Fellow back Bucky Irving (back, hip) has been cleared to play, but that shouldn't stop White from offering at least flex value this weekend.
Dec 20, 2024 5:19 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was able to find some success on the ground during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. White rushed 15 times for 64 yards while hauling in both his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in the blowout win. This marked the third game in a row that White has rushed for over 60 yards. It's worth noting that White did exit the game, but returned and appeared to be fine the rest of the way. Fantasy managers who stuck with White through his early struggles are finally being rewarded at playoff time. White is going to continue splitting up the carries with Bucky Irving, but White still remains a flex play for next week's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
Dec 15, 2024 8:40 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White took over as the lead back after Bucky Irving (back, hip) was forced to exit early last week. White took advantage of the extra snaps as he rushed 17 times for 90 yards and scored a touchdown on the ground. He also hauled in two of his three targets for 19 yards and an additional score through the air. White has now rushed for over 75 yards in each of the last two games, which is great to see after his sluggish start to the season. The Bucs are uncertain if Irving is going to play against the Los Angeles Chargers this weekend. If he sits, White would end up as the lead back and would move into the RB2 conversation for Week 15. Otherwise, White would fall into flex territory if Irving is able to suit up against the Chargers.
Dec 13, 2024 5:00 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White put together his best performance on the ground during Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Lead back Bucky Irving (back) exited early and didn't return to this contest. His absence gave White a chance for extra carries and he took advantage of it. White rushed 17 times for 90 yards and scored a touchdown in the win. This is now back-to-back weeks that White has put together strong games on the ground. The status of Irving will go a long way to determining the fantasy value of White for next week's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. If Irving returns, White will fall into flex territory otherwise he should be treated as a RB2 if Irving sits in Week 15.
Dec 8, 2024 6:14 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is coming off one of his best games on the ground during last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. White rushed 11 times for 76 yards which was a season-high in yardage for him. Fellow back Bucky Irving (hip, back) rushed for over 150 yards, but is currently listed as questionable for this weekend. The rookie back was a limited participant on Friday, so the team will likely have to wait and see how he progresses throughout the weekend. If he sits, White should have RB2 appeal against a struggling Las Vegas Raiders defense. Otherwise, White would fall into flex territory if Irving is able to play on Sunday.
Dec 6, 2024 8:18 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has been non-existent on the ground throughout most of the season. In fact, White only had one 50-plus rushing performance on the season coming into Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Finally, White finds room to run as he rushes for 76 yards on 11 attempts during the overtime victory. To be fair, White got 38 on those yards on one carry which helped the Bucs get in position for the game-winning field goal. Fellow back Bucky Irving outshined White once again and continues to pull away as the top dog in Tampa Bay. White is falling into flex appeal for next week's matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Dec 1, 2024 9:36 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has been unable to find much success on the ground this season. Luckily, White has been able to find the end zone in each of his last five games. The 25-year-old is starting to become a touchdown-dependent option with the way he's looking on the ground. Last week, White rushed 12 times for 37 yards with one score in the win over the New York Giants. He did very little through the air with only one reception for 10 yards. The return of wide receiver Mike Evans will likely take away some of White's targets going forward. That being said, White could be a bit of a shaky fantasy option down the stretch of the season. However, fantasy managers shouldn't have to worry too much yet with a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers this weekend. White should be able to produce in that game and offer low-end RB2 value.
Nov 29, 2024 9:10 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was able to find the end zone for the fifth straight game on Sunday. It was a rough day for White on the ground as he managed only 37 yards on 12 carries in the win over the New York Giants. Luckily, White was able to take one of those carries into the end zone, which helped salvage his fantasy value. As expected, White lost targets in the receiving game with wide receiver Mike Evans making his return. White hauled in his lone target for 10 yards on Sunday. Fantasy managers should consider White a low-end RB2 for next week's matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Nov 24, 2024 5:18 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has seen his workload in the passing game increase over the last few weeks. In fact, White has five receptions or more with 35-plus receiving in three of his last four games. The biggest problem for White has been in the rushing game. White has been held to 40 rushing yards or less in all of his last four games. The Bucs continue to use a committee approach at running back which limits the value of White. It's worth noting that wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is set to return this weekend. His return could mean less targets for White in the passing game. Fantasy managers should treat White as a low-end RB2 for Week 12.
Nov 22, 2024 4:45 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was once again sluggish on the ground, but was able to salvage his fantasy value with his ability as a receiver. On Sunday, White rushed the ball 10 times for 31 yards on the ground. It was another lackluster game for White on the ground against a tough San Francisco 49ers defense. Luckily, White was able to save his value by hauling in six of his seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Bucs now head into a bye week, but White could lose some steam after that. Wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 12 which could take away some of the targets for White going forward. That might make White fall into the flex conversation for the Week 12 matchup against the New York Giants.
Nov 10, 2024 9:37 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was able to salvage his fantasy value with a trip to the end zone last week. White only saw three rushing attempts for 19 yards and a score during last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He also hauled in three receptions for an extra 16 yards through the air. It was an extremely quiet night for White outside of the touchdown. The Bucs have gone to a committee approach at running back, which has meant less rushing attempts for White. Lately, White has been able to save his value in the receiving game, but fantasy managers can't always count on that. Fantasy managers should consider White a flex option for the upcoming Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
Nov 8, 2024 9:25 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White carried the ball just three times for 19 yards in Monday night's 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs but was able to score his first rushing TD of the 2024 campaign. The 25-year-old has three receiving TDs already this season, and even though he did not score through the air on Monday, he was involved in the passing game again, snagging all three of his targets for 16 yards. Thankfully for fantasy, White is used as a pass catcher and around the goal line, as it was the second consecutive week that he's ceded more carries to fellow back Bucky Irving. With Sean Tucker in the mix as well, there just aren't as many carries to go around. It'll be a grind in next week's matchup at home versus the 49ers, so look for him to land in the low-end RB2/3 range with at least a solid floor in PPR leagues.
Nov 5, 2024 12:50 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White hasn't found much success on the ground this season. He has fallen into a running back committee which has decreased his rushing attempts. However, fellow back Bucky Irving (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. If Irving sits, White would likely see more chances on the ground but he hasn't done much with his chances this season. Luckily, White has been able to salvage his fantasy value in the receiving game. The Bucs are going to White more often with Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) sidelined. He has seen six targets in each of the last two games. That figures to continue happening with the Bucs limited on passing options. White should be a strong PPR option and a possible RB2 for this Monday Night matchup.
