Rachaad White News
Saturday, September 19, 7:36 AM
Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White was quiet in the Week 1 loss to the Eagles, handling seven carries for 22 yards and adding two receptions (two targets) for five yards. White wasn't able to create much with his opportunities against a tough defense and was firmly behind second-year back Jacory Croskey-Merritt as the team's primary runner. The former Buccaneer played 40.3% of the offense's snaps compared to 49.3% for Croskey-Merritt, and it's worth noting that Croskey-Merritt didn't return after his fumble on Washington's final drive. Washington will likely continue to operate with a split backfield in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, who got lit up by the Giants in their season opener. Dallas allowed 4.5 yards per carry and four catches to running backs, potentially setting White up for a productive day. White projects as a low-end flex for Week 2, ranking as RotoBaller's RB42 in PPR leagues.

Chase Brown News
Sunday, September 20, 12:45 PM
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown handled 20 carries for 80 yards and three catches for two yards in the 20-6 win over the Houston Texans. Brown was heavily involved in this game on the ground and through the air. His five targets in the contest gave him 25 total opportunities against the Texans. Although he was not able to find the end zone, Brown's volume of opportunities was still elite. Brown will look to find pay dirt next week as he faces the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. The Steelers are a tough defense to face, but the Bengals offense is also tough for opposing defenses to face. Brown will continue to be a key cog in the Cincinnati offense for as long as he's healthy, so fantasy managers should continue to feel confident in him. Brown should continue to be viewed as a strong RB1 every week.
