Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or Ray Davis

Across 17 games in 2025, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White recorded 790 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 172 touches. White seemingly had a golden opportunity to reclaim a workhorse role in Tampa Bay after fellow Bucs running back Bucky Irving went down early in the year with injuries that ultimately cost him seven games. However, White struggled with rushing efficiency and ultimately lost out on snap share to Tampa Bay back Sean Tucker. White is now set to hit free agency, which could help him find a new home that can offer a less crowded running back room. Still, White is averaging fewer than four yards per carry on 677 career attempts and may not be suited for a lead rushing role. The 27-year-old should still be a fantasy-relevant player due to his pass-catching ability, as he's hauled in 205 receptions for 1,450 yards and 11 touchdowns across 67 career games. At the same time, his dynasty value is fading as he slides back into a more complementary phase of his career.

Buffalo Bills second-year running back Ray Davis saw his workload reduced drastically from year one to two, as the team finally gave James Cook the workhorse duties fantasy managers have been clamoring for for years. Cook saw the highest snap count of his career and obliterated his previous-high usage total, seeing a total of 348 opportunities on the way to his first career rushing title. Meanwhile, Davis saw his opportunities drop from 131 as a rookie to only 71 in year two. With Buffalo's offense still among the highest scoring in the league, Davis' value purely as a handcuff is enough to keep him rostered in deeper dynasty leagues. However, with Ty Johnson still working ahead of him in the passing game, he is by no means a must-hold for managers facing a roster crunch.
