Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or TreVeyon Henderson

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White had the game-winning touchdown for the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football, and he was more involved in the game plan throughout Week 2 for Tampa. White played 31% of snaps in Week 2 after playing 24% of snaps in Week 1, and he finished the game with 10 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for one yard and a critical fumble recovery. White's backfield mate, Bucky Irving was also impressive and effective, totaling 121 yards rushing and receiving and converting a big play to set up White's touchdown. The timeshare makes both running backs usable for standard-sized leagues, but limits the upside of each of them as well. White is still just a flex option since he'll remain touchdown-reliant as the Bucs take on the Jets in Week 3.

New England Patriots running back Tre'Veyon Henderson rushed for 10 yards on three carries during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. He also caught two passes for an additional 30 yards through the air. After an impressive season opener, the rookie took a step back this past weekend as he was out-produced by Rhamondre Stevenson. In fact, Stevenson led the team in carries, rushing yards, targets, receptions, and receiving yards. Stevenson's big game should allow him to hold onto the lead-back role a little longer, even if it's just on a week-by-week basis. He should maintain his 65 percent snap share while Henderson accounts for 30 to 35 percent of the offensive snaps. The rookie should continue to be stashed on fantasy benches heading into Week 3 against the Steelers. Meanwhile, Stevenson remains a solid RB2 option for the time being.
