Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or Kaleb Johnson

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has seen an increased role in the rushing game with Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) sidelined for the last seven games. Now, Irving is back and ready to suit up for the Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Bucs will likely ease him back into the mix, but this won't be a favorable situation for fantasy managers. The expectation is that Sean Tucker will stay involved as well, so this should be a three-back committee. White will probably be at the bottom of that committee, so he won't be an ideal fantasy option for Week 13. At best, White is a low-end flex option for the upcoming matchup against the Cardinals.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson won't be on the fantasy radar for this weekend's clash with the visiting Buffalo Bills. The former third-round pick has had a quiet rookie season, amassing 58 yards on 22 carries across seven appearances. At the beginning of the campaign, Johnson appeared to be on his way to playing a sizable snap share in a backfield ripe for the taking. That didn't come to fruition, though, as teammates Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell have formed a formidable duo for the Steelers. Furthermore, opportunities in Pittsburgh are hard to come by, considering the team boasts the third-slowest pace of play (56.7 plays per game). As it stands, the University of Iowa alum is a talented athlete, but his path to playing time -- at least in 2025 -- is less clear than we'd like for fantasy. Either way, he's still a nice stash in dynasty leagues.
