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 see an increased workload for at least one more game with Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) ruled out for Week 12. However, fellow back Sean Tucker has outperformed White over the last few weeks. Last week, Tucker rushed for over 100 yards and scored three touchdowns in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. White has shown little success on the ground this season, which could mean more carries for Tucker in Week 12. The three-touchdown performance should almost certainly give Tucker an expanded role this weekend. That means, White could be looking at a reduced role as a rusher, so he shouldn't be trusted as anything more than a flex option.
