Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or Jamari Thrash

Saturday, October 18, 8:32 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is expected to make his third straight start during the Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Bucs are going to be without Bucky Irving (foot) for at least one more game. White has stepped up and played well in the absence of Irving. He has rushed for over 100 yards with three touchdowns over the last two games. Given the Bucs shorthanded offense, White figures to once again have a significant role in the offense on Monday night. This team is already without Jalen McMillan (neck) and Chris Godwin (leg), but might also be missing Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) in Week 7. That being said, White could be asked to do more receiving work than normal. The 26-year-old figures to be heavily involved and should be a solid RB2 for this Week 7 contest.

ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi writes that Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jamari Thrash, who caught only three passes as a rookie in 2024 after being taken in the fifth round, took advantage of opportunities in an unproven receiver room during offseason workouts and established himself as a reliable option in the passing game. "He's had a really strong spring," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "He is here all the time working on his body. Very intelligent player, can line up in multiple positions which I think is valuable. And then he showed up, he's caught the ball well and you know the quarterbacks like how he gets open. He finds a way to get open versus zone, versus man." Since the 24-year-old isn't really an option on special teams, he's going to need to continue standing out in training camp and the preseason to win a spot on the 53-man roster heading into the regular season.
