Rachaad White Offers PPR Value for Season Opener

Friday, September 5, 8:41 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is expected to take a backseat in the backfield in 2025. Last season, White began the season as the lead back, but ultimately lost the starting role to Bucky Irving. White saw his role in the offense decrease to the point where he only saw 20 touches over the final four games of the season. He finished last season with 613 rushing yards and scored three touchdowns on the ground. White also hauled in 51 receptions for 393 additional yards and six touchdowns through the air. The expectation is that Irving will do a majority of the ground work while White is the primary receiving back. That being said, White isn't going to offer a ton of fantasy value heading into the season opener versus the Atlanta Falcons. White should be viewed as a flex option in PPR leagues with Irving serving as the lead back now in Tampa Bay.

Eagles Acquiring Tank Bigsby From Jaguars on Monday

Monday, September 8, 8:06 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles are acquiring running back Tank Bigsby from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday in exchange for fifth- and sixth-round draft picks in 2026, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. There were rumblings this offseason that the Jaguars were considering trading one of Bigsby or Travis Etienne Jr. after they drafted Bhayshul Tuten in April, and now it's come to fruition. The Eagles will get more insurance for Saquon Barkley after Will Shipley went down with a rib injury in the season-opening win over the Cowboys last Thursday, although the trade for Bigsby reportedly isn't related. The Eagles are expected to explore using Bigsby as a kickoff returner, which won't do anything for his fantasy value with the move to Philly. Tuten, meanwhile, becomes much more interesting as a bench stash. He's currently only rostered in 57% of Yahoo leagues.
