Rachaad White News
Friday, May 29, 10:19 AM
After spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, veteran running back Rachaad White signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Washington Commanders in March. White's market cratered after an uninspiring final year in Tampa in which he recorded 790 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 172 touches. However, the 27-year-old could have a golden opportunity to revitalize his career in 2026 with the Commanders. As currently constituted, the Washington backfield looks like an open battle for playing time between White, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jerome Ford, Jeremy McNichols, and Kaytron Allen. Even if the high-upside Croskey-Merritt takes hold of the lead rushing role, White's extended track record as an above-average receiver out of the backfield should allow him to carve out a significant role with his new team. In dynasty formats, fantasy managers may want to consider buying low on White ahead of a possible bounce-back season.

Bhayshul Tuten News
Saturday, June 6, 3:26 PM
Sports Illustrated's John Shipley writes that it's hard to get much of a read on the Jacksonville Jaguars running back room during OTAs this offseason because they are not in pads, and Chris Rodriguez Jr. (undisclosed) hasn't been with the team during the offseason program so far. With that said, Shipley also notes that Tuten "looked like he was picking up steam" during OTAs, and head coach Liam Coen said he likes the way he's running compared to a year ago, and Tuten looks like he's "more in-tune with the scheme" than as a rookie in 2025. If the 23-year-old continues to build on his momentum going into Year 2, especially if C-Rod continues to be absent, Tuten's fantasy football stock will continue to rise as a clear RB2 target in fantasy drafts because of his explosiveness and home run abilities out of the backfield. The former fourth-rounder out of Virginia Tech only averaged 3.7 yards per carry with 307 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in 15 regular-season games in his first year in the NFL, and he added 10 catches for 79 yards and two more scores. But with Travis Etienne Jr. now in New Orleans, Tuten has the clearest path in Duval to lead-back duties in Coen's offense, which hit its stride in the second half of 2025.
