Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or Kaleb Johnson

Saturday, August 9, 8:11 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (groin) was forced to make an early exit during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Tennessee Titans. This is not a sight you ever want to see early in the preseason. White was unable to get through the first quarter before suffering a groin injury. It's the preseason, so the Bucs will hold out White for the rest of this contest. For now, fantasy managers should consider White as day-to-day. There should be more information on his status following this game. Before exiting, White rushed the ball six times for 28 yards and didn't see any action through the air.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson turned eight carries into 20 rushing yards and hauled in one of two targets for six receiving yards in a 31-25 preseason win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The rookie handled RB1 duties for Pittsburgh in the first half before he was eventually replaced by Trey Sermon, Evan Hull, and Lew Nichols. Although Johnson could not find much room to operate on Saturday, he notably ran through the arms of a diving Travis Hunter for a seven-yard gain early in the second quarter. The fact that veteran Jaylen Warren was inactive confirms his standing as the Steelers' featured back, meaning Johnson will need to earn playing time early in the regular season. His next opportunity to showcase his talents will come against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week.
