Who Should I Start? Gus Edwards or Rachaad White

Friday, March 7, 7:32 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers have informed veteran running back Gus Edwards that he will be released in the coming days, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Edwards appeared in just 11 games in 2024, his only season with the Chargers, rushing for 365 yards and four touchdowns on 101 carries. With Edwards now a free-agent, the Chargers could have an entirely revamped backfield in 2025 with J.K. Dobbins also an unrestricted free-agent. There is a good chance the Chargers target a running back in the 2025 NFL draft in what is shaping up as a loaded class at the position. Edwards will now look to latch on with another team as an early-down and short-yardage grinder.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White will remain as the lead back for at least one more week. White is set to make his fifth straight start with Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) ruled out for this Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots. During that time, White has seen a significant increase in playing time which has resulted in increased fantasy value. The downside is, White really hasn't found much success on the ground with 41 rushing yards or fewer in three of those four games. He comes into a tough matchup against a Pats defense that has done well against the run. The 26-year-old will likely need to get involved through the air in order to offer RB2 value this weekend.
