Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or Tahj Brooks

Friday, November 14, 5:36 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has struggled to find much room to run over the last few games. Last week, White was held to 38 rushing yards on 10 attempts during the loss to the New England Patriots. White has been held to 38 rushing yards or fewer in each of his last three games. The 26-year-old will make at least one more start with Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) still sidelined. White does have a plus-matchup against a Buffalo Bills defense that is allowing 5.4 yards per carry. There's enough upside here to consider White a RB2 for this weekend.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Tahj Brooks hasn't done much of anything in his inaugural year. He had the chance to at least claim the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind Chase Brown. While that wasn't expected early in the season, most had assumed he'd take over as the backup by now. However, that hasn't happened, with Samaje Perine (ankle) still absorbing nearly all of Brown's surplus carries while seeing limited action as a pass-catcher. With Perine ruled out for the Week 11 AFC North battle with the Pittsburgh Steelers, there's potential for Brooks to get more involved. Unfortunately, Brooks likely won't see much more work, if any, which isn't good news for those in need of a deep league streaming option on Sunday. For now, the rookie should be stashed on dynasty rosters while having virtually no redraft value.
