Who Should I Start? Kenneth Gainwell or Rachaad White

Saturday, December 13, 12:54 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell has been heavily involved as a pass-catcher in recent weeks and should maintain a significant role against the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. Though Gainwell has taken a backseat to Jaylen Warren on the ground, the former has earned six or more targets in three of his past four games. Unfortunately, production may be hard to come by on Monday night, with Miami allowing the second-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing backs over the past four weeks. The weather in Pittsburgh, with gusting winds expected, could force quarterback Aaron Rodgers to check down to his running backs and tight ends more frequently, however. Gainwell's utilization as a receiver keeps him in flex consideration for fantasy managers in PPR leagues this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has fallen back into the No. 2 role in Tampa's backfield. White took over as the lead back earlier this year when Bucky Irving missed seven games due to foot and shoulder injuries. Irving is back up to full speed, though, so White has been delegated to change-of-pace duties. Last week, White rushed the ball 11 times for 53 yards in the loss to the New Orleans Saints. It was actually a bit surprising to see White average 4.82 yards per carry. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect those results weekly, especially with fewer touches. White belongs on the bench in most fantasy formats for the upcoming Thursday night matchup versus the Atlanta Falcons.
