Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or Jaydon Blue

Friday, September 19, 9:59 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was surprisingly solid during last week's win over the Houston Texans. White only saw two rushing attempts and one reception in the season opener, but came to play in Week 2. He rushed 10 times for 65 yards with a touchdown on the ground. White also hauled in both his targets for one additional yard through the air in the win. The 26-year-old remains the backup to Bucky Irving, which is going to limit his upside. However, the Bucs are banged up with Chris Godwin (ankle), Jalen McMillan (neck) both out. Also, Emeka Egbuka (groin) listed as questionable for Week 3 matchup against the New York Jets. That being said, the Bucs might need White to play a bigger role on offense this week. There's certainly some risk to starting White, but when active he has decent PPR upside.

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. The fifth-round rookie has now been a healthy scratch for each of the Cowboys' first two games of the season. In his absence, Miles Sanders will serve as the backup running back behind Javonte Williams. Sanders and Williams are the Cowboys' only two active running backs, but fullback Hunter Luepke should also see some blocking work in the backfield. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should be patient with Blue and hold onto him, as it's likely only a matter of time before he's active as the No. 3 running back or leapfrogs Miles Sanders for the backup job.
