Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or Robbie Ouzts

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.

The Seattle Seahawks are converting rookie fifth-round tight end Robbie Ouzts to a 274-pound fullback as part of their vision for a more physical running game under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, according to ESPN's Brady Henderson. Ouzts will be competing with Brady Russell, who is also making the transition from tight end to fullback this offseason. He worked mostly as a blocker during his four-year college career at Alabama, so it should be a pretty natural transition for Ouzts in Seattle. Ouzts obviously won't be on the fantasy radar at all as a blocker if he's on the field regularly, but this news is good news for the Seahawks' ground attack and starting running back Kenneth Walker III and backup Zach Charbonnet. In 17 games last year, Seattle averaged just 95.7 rushing yards per game, which ranked as the fifth-fewest in the NFL.
