Who Should I Start? Leonard Fournette or Rachaad White

Monday, September 2, 1:25 PM

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills running back Leonard Fournette is visiting with the Indianapolis Colts on Monday, according to a source. As things stand in Indy right now, Jonathan Taylor is the unquestioned starter, with Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson backing him up. Fournette signed late in the year in 2023 with the Bills and played in only two games with them, carrying the ball 12 times for 40 yards. In 2022 with the Bucs, Lenny averaged 3.5 yards per carry on the ground on his 189 attempts while running for 668 yards and three touchdowns. He added 73 receptions for 523 yards and three more scores. The 29-year-old would likely have to work his way to the active roster in Indy if he signs with the team and he could eventually become an interesting bench stash in deep PPR leagues. For now, fantasy managers in standard-sized leagues can continue to ignore him.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White rushed for 40 yards on 10 carries during Monday's Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was much more impactful in the passing game, catching all six of his targets for an additional 71 receiving yards and two touchdowns. After losing some touches to Bucky Irving and then sitting out Week 6 due to injury, White bounced back in a huge way against the Ravens. He should remain heavily involved heading into next week's clash with the Atlanta Falcons, especially with Chris Godwin (ankle) likely sidelined for the rest of the season. White is a strong fantasy RB2 given his rushing, receiving, and touchdown productivity.
