Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or Jaydon Blue

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White will see an increased workload for at least one more game with Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) ruled out for Week 12. However, fellow back Sean Tucker has outperformed White over the last few weeks. Last week, Tucker rushed for over 100 yards and scored three touchdowns in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. White has shown little success on the ground this season, which could mean more carries for Tucker in Week 12. The three-touchdown performance should almost certainly give Tucker an expanded role this weekend. That means, White could be looking at a reduced role as a rusher, so he shouldn't be trusted as anything more than a flex option.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue and wide receiver Jonathan Mingo are both healthy scratches for the Monday night game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Blue didn't do anything over the bye week to convince the Cowboys that he deserved to be active in Week 11. The 21-year-old drew rave reviews in training camp during the summer, but he has been active in only four games in his first year in the NFL and has 22 rushing attempts for 65 yards while catching one pass for five yards. The Cowboys elevated Malik Davis to the active 53-man roster, and he will operate as the RB2 behind starter Javonte Williams on Monday. Mingo was activated from the Injured Reserve before the Week 8 game, but he has yet to play so far in 2025.
