Who Should I Start? Kenneth Gainwell or Rachaad White

Tuesday, March 11, 9:15 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers are finalizing an undisclosed one-year deal with former Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell on Tuesday night, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Gainwell will stay in the state of Pennsylvania and become the change-of pace option behind Jaylen Warren after Najee Harris left in free agency to join the Los Angeles Chargers. The 25-year-old will most likely be used more as a third-down option for Pittsburgh in pass-catching situations. In his four years with the Eagles, Gainwell had 280 carries for 1,185 yards (4.2 yards per carry) and 12 rushing touchdowns while adding 102 catches on 138 targets for 721 yards and an addition touchdown in 66 games (four starts). The Steelers still also have running back Cordarrelle Patterson to share the workload. At best, Gainwell will be a low-ceiling RB3/flex in point-per-reception leagues in his new home.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White rushed for one yard on one carry during Sunday's playoff loss to the Washington Commanders. He also caught two passes for an additional 14 yards through the air. White's usage as a ball carrier continues to dwindle, and he now has just 10 carries over his last four contests. His passing game usage has been a little more promising he had seven catches in Week 16 and had more receiving yards than Bucky Irving this past Sunday but it's still not enough to put him back on the fantasy radar in most leagues. White's fall from fantasy stardom has been nearly unprecedented, and his role will likely remain the same as Irving leads the backfield in 2025. As a result, White will rank as a high-end RB4, assuming he remains with Tampa Bay.
