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 has struggled to find much room to run over the last few games. Last week, White was held to 38 rushing yards on 10 attempts during the loss to the New England Patriots. White has been held to 38 rushing yards or fewer in each of his last three games. The 26-year-old will make at least one more start with Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) still sidelined. White does have a plus-matchup against a Buffalo Bills defense that is allowing 5.4 yards per carry. There's enough upside here to consider White a RB2 for this weekend.
