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 seen an increased role in the rushing game with Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) sidelined for the last seven games. Now, Irving is back and ready to suit up for the Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Bucs will likely ease him back into the mix, but this won't be a favorable situation for fantasy managers. The expectation is that Sean Tucker will stay involved as well, so this should be a three-back committee. White will probably be at the bottom of that committee, so he won't be an ideal fantasy option for Week 13. At best, White is a low-end flex option for the upcoming matchup against the Cardinals.
