Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or Chase Brown

Sunday, November 9, 8:14 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White will remain as the lead back for at least one more week. White is set to make his fifth straight start with Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) ruled out for this Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots. During that time, White has seen a significant increase in playing time which has resulted in increased fantasy value. The downside is, White really hasn't found much success on the ground with 41 rushing yards or fewer in three of those four games. He comes into a tough matchup against a Pats defense that has done well against the run. The 26-year-old will likely need to get involved through the air in order to offer RB2 value this weekend.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is looking to build off a strong performance he had as a receiver in Week 9. Brown hauled in eight of his 14 targets for 75 yards during their loss to the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old struggled with only 37 yards on the ground, but the eight receptions helped save his fantasy value. The Bengals had a bye week this past weekend, but head into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Brown rushed for over 100 yards during their last matchup in Week 7. The Bengals are going to be without Samaje Perine (ankle) for a few weeks. That being said, Brown figures to see almost all the work in the backfield. He played 96 percent of the offensive snaps during the loss to the Bears. Brown should be a focal point in this offense going forward.
