Who Should I Start? Alexander Mattison or Rachaad White

Thursday, March 13, 9:35 PM

Former Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison is signing an undisclosed deal on Thursday with the Miami Dolphins, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Earlier in the day, former Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert signed with the Raiders in free agency. The 26-year-old Mattison joined the Raiders in 2024 after spending his first five years in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings. He eventually took over the lead-back role from a disappointing Zamir White and carried the ball 132 times for 420 yards and four touchdowns (a career-low 3.2 yards per tote) in 14 games (seven starts), adding a career-high 36 catches for 294 yards and another score. Mattison's move to Miami is a big downgrade, as he'll merely be competing for a change-of-pace role with Jaylen Wright behind unquestioned starter De'Von Achane. He'll be avoidable in most fantasy drafts this fall.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White said he's down to around 212 pounds at training camp and is lighter and quicker and is enjoying how it helps his conditioning and stamina, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. White's fantasy stock is down in 2025 -- he's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 41 back -- and will be hoping for primary pass-catching duties in Tampa's backfield behind Bucky Irving, who broke out in 2024. The 26-year-old former third-rounder (91st overall) in 2022 is the perfect handcuff to Irving this year, as he'd likely have a huge role for the Bucs if anything were to happen to Irving. Last year, White had 613 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 144 carries (career-best 4.3 yards per carry) while adding 51 catches for 393 yards and a career-high six receiving TDs. White profiles as an RB4/flex for fantasy managers in PPR leagues.
