Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or Omarion Hampton

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White put together a disappointing performance during last Sunday's game versus the New York Jets. White rushed the ball five times for 12 yards while hauling in his lone target for two yards in the win. This was a disappointing performance after White showed some signs of life in Week 2. Lead back Bucky Irving saw over 20 carries in Week 3, so clearly White is a distant No. 2 in the backfield. His lack of usage makes him an extremely risky flex option for Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. White is really only worth stashing because he's the No. 2 option and would see increased carries if Irving misses time.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton is primed for a heavy workload following the season-ending injury to Najee Harris (Achilles). In the team's 23-20 win over the Denver Broncos, Hampton recorded 19 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown, along with six catches for 59 yards, demonstrating his value in both the running and passing game. The 0-3 New York Giants are an ideal matchup, ranking in the bottom third in every defensive category and allowing the second-most rushing yards in the league. Although the absence of guard Mekhi Becton (concussion) could create some vulnerability, Hampton's expected workhorse role and favorable opponent position him for a strong performance. RotoBaller projects Hampton as RB10 this week and considers him a must-start across all formats.
