Rachaad White Returns After Shoulder Injury

Sunday, September 27, 11:55 AM

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White (shoulder) returned to Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks after leaving shortly before halftime. White was initially listed as questionable to return, but JP Finlay reported that he was back on the field in the second half. He had two carries for four yards and caught a six-yard touchdown before leaving. White has already added two more carries since returning, bringing him to four rushes for 12 yards on the afternoon. His return is encouraging after the earlier scare, though it does not necessarily mean the shoulder issue is completely behind him.

Chase Brown Could Feast In Week 3

Friday, September 25, 12:20 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown rushed 20 times for 80 yards and caught three passes for two yards in the 20-6 victory over the Houston Texans last week. Despite mediocre production, Brown received a monster workload which should pay off against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. The Steelers defense has been stingy against the pass, but has allowed the ninth-most rushing yards in 2026. With 16 carries in Week 1 and 20 carries in Week 2, it's clear that the Bengals trust Brown to execute their offensive game plan on the ground. Given that volume of opportunities against this Steelers' defense, Brown may be able to produce his first game with 100+ rushing yards this season. The Bengals workhorse back also failed to find the end zone last week, so he could be in for a score this Sunday. Brown is ranked RB10 in our RotoBaller Week 3 PPR rankings, making him an RB1 this week. Fantasy managers should be excited about starting Brown this week because all signs point to him having his best fantasy performance yet.
