Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or Ollie Gordon II

Sunday, November 9, 8:14 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White will remain as the lead back for at least one more week. White is set to make his fifth straight start with Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) ruled out for this Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots. During that time, White has seen a significant increase in playing time which has resulted in increased fantasy value. The downside is, White really hasn't found much success on the ground with 41 rushing yards or fewer in three of those four games. He comes into a tough matchup against a Pats defense that has done well against the run. The 26-year-old will likely need to get involved through the air in order to offer RB2 value this weekend.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day on Thursday due to an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 9, according to Travis Wingfield of MiamiDolphins.com. Gordon's ankle definitely played a part in the team's Week 10 upset win over the Buffalo Bills, as he played on just three offensive snaps and saw only one rushing attempt on the day. Meanwhile, Jaylen Wright played 10 snaps and had five carries as the RB2 behind workhorse back De'Von Achane. Before Gordon's ankle injury, he had been the clear backup to Achane over Wright in 2025, but that script has been flipped with Gordon at less than 100% health. Neither Gordon nor Wright has any standalone fantasy value, with Achane rarely coming off the field. Gordon has 41 rushing attempts in his first NFL season for 119 yards and a touchdown.
