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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Nov 2, 2024 8:48 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White continues to have little success on the ground. However, White has been able to salvage his fantasy value with his receiving ability. That was the case once again during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. White rushed six times for 29 yards, but hauled in five of his six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Bucs are without their top two wideouts, so as expected they went with the short passing game. White figures to be stuck in this running back committee for the foreseeable future. Although, White still should be a fine PPR option for fantasy managers during next week's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Oct 27, 2024 9:56 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White continued his struggles on the ground, but was able to put together a strong fantasy performance last week. White rushed 10 times for 40 yards, but hauled in six receptions for 71 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The Bucs are using a three-man committee which makes it difficult for any of these backs to have reliable fantasy value. However, White should be the best choice out of the trio due to his ability in the receiving game. The Bucs are going to be without wide receivers Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) for the foreseeable future. That means, White will probably see more chances in the receiving game going forward. Fantasy managers in PPR formats might be able to trust White as a RB1 for the upcoming matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. White rushed for a season-high 72 yards against Atlanta during their last meeting.
Oct 25, 2024 8:30 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White rushed for 40 yards on 10 carries during Monday's Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was much more impactful in the passing game, catching all six of his targets for an additional 71 receiving yards and two touchdowns. After losing some touches to Bucky Irving and then sitting out Week 6 due to injury, White bounced back in a huge way against the Ravens. He should remain heavily involved heading into next week's clash with the Atlanta Falcons, especially with Chris Godwin (ankle) likely sidelined for the rest of the season. White is a strong fantasy RB2 given his rushing, receiving, and touchdown productivity.
Oct 22, 2024 12:42 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot) is officially active and will play on Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. White will return to the field after missing the Week 6 win over the division-rival New Orleans Saints. While White was sidelined last week, rookie Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker took over the backfield and each going over 100 rushing yards, which could easily leave White as the odd-man out in what is becoming a three-headed committee backfield in Tampa. Head coach Todd Bowles said White, Irving and Tucker will all play when they are healthy, but the team could go with the hot-hand approach, making it very frustrating for fantasy managers to decide who to play on a weekly basis. White averaged only 3.7 yards per carry on his 51 rushing attempts through five games and now figures to have a much smaller role moving forward as long as Irving and Tucker stay healthy.
Oct 21, 2024 6:58 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. White opened the week as a limited participant during Thursday's and Friday's practice. However, the 25-year-old was able to upgrade to full participation on Saturday, which is a positive sign for his availability on Monday evening. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor White's status throughout the weekend. If White can suit up, fantasy managers should expect Tampa Bay to split opportunities between their running backs, which makes Bucky Irving and White low-end RB2s, with Sean Tucker projecting to be a flex option facing a tough Baltimore rush defense.
Oct 19, 2024 2:47 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot) was a limited practice participant for the second day in a row ahead of the team's Monday night matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The third-year back sustained a foot injury in Tampa Bay's Week 5 loss to their division-rival Atlanta Falcons when a defender used an outlawed means to bring him to the turf (hip-drop-tackle). The limited sessions are an upgrade from the DNP designation he garnered last week, but his status for Monday Night Football is uncertain. If White can't play, backfield mates Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker will again split the Bucs' RB touches. Still, upon his return, the former Sun Devil will be a part of a three-man RBBC that evolved into a "hot-hand" situation while he was out for Week 6.
Oct 18, 2024 9:43 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot) was listed as limited on Thursday in the team's first practice of the week. White was inactive for the team's Week 6 win over the division-rival New Orleans Saints, which allowed rookie Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker to share the backfield in the blowout victory. Both Irving and Tucker went over 100 scrimmage yards in the impressive performance, which has led to the Buccaneers going to a three-man backfield committee once White is able to return to full health. It's bad news for the 25-year-old White, who has easily been the least efficient of the Bucs' three backs through six weeks of the season. Tampa plans to go with the hot-hand approach, so all is not lost for White, but for now, he's on the outside looking in after missing last week's game due to injury. And with Tampa not playing until Monday against the Ravens, White isn't a recommended fantasy play.
