Rachaad White Quicker and Lighter

Thursday, July 31, 1:52 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White said he's down to around 212 pounds at training camp and is lighter and quicker and is enjoying how it helps his conditioning and stamina, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. White's fantasy stock is down in 2025 -- he's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 41 back -- and will be hoping for primary pass-catching duties in Tampa's backfield behind Bucky Irving, who broke out in 2024. The 26-year-old former third-rounder (91st overall) in 2022 is the perfect handcuff to Irving this year, as he'd likely have a huge role for the Bucs if anything were to happen to Irving. Last year, White had 613 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 144 carries (career-best 4.3 yards per carry) while adding 51 catches for 393 yards and a career-high six receiving TDs. White profiles as an RB4/flex for fantasy managers in PPR leagues.

Roschon Johnson Not A Trustworthy Option In Backup Role

Saturday, January 4, 9:13 AM

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson remains the No. 2 option on the depth chart, keeping him off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of his Week 18 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. There's always a chance the eliminated Bears could give increased snaps to some of their younger players, like Johnson, while reducing the workload for veterans such as running back D'Andre Swift. However, the Bears have stayed pretty quiet about their personnel decisions, and as of Saturday, there's no indication that Johnson's workload will change for the regular-season finale. He has just five carries for eight yards over his last two games, and prior to that, he missed nearly three full contests. As a result, he hasn't caught a pass nor found the end zone since Week 12 against Minnesota. This week, he and Swift will take on a Packers run defense that has allowed the 15th-fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2024, but the third-most catches and receiving yards. Johnson ranks as an RB4 in fantasy football and should continue to be benched in most leagues.
