Rachaad White is Avoidable for Week 2

Friday, September 12, 5:57 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was barely seen on the field during the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons last week. White rushed the ball twice for 14 yards and hauled in his lone target for two yards in the win. Bucky Irving is the clear-cut RB1 in Tampa Bay right now. White figures to remain involved in the passing game, but he didn't see a ton of action in the opener. This early in the season it's tough to gauge how much White will be used in the offense. That being said, White is looking like a bench option for the upcoming Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans. White is worth stashing in certain formats because he's the primary backup to Irving, but it doesn't look like he's going to see much of the field right now.

Bucky Irving on RB1 Radar for Week 2

Friday, September 12, 5:51 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving didn't have an ideal season opener last week. Irving had trouble finding any room to run as he rushed for 37 yards on 14 attempts in the win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was able to salvage his fantasy value by hauling in all four of his targets for eight yards and a touchdown. Despite the struggles, Irving will remain the lead back in Tampa Bay with Rachaad White only seeing two rushing attempts in the opener. The Bucs are committed to Irving and he'll continue seeing a heavy workload. Irving should remain in the RB1 conversation for the upcoming Monday night matchup against the Houston Texans.
