Who Should I Start? Rachaad White or Zach Charbonnet

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White saw his RB1 title stripped by rookie running back Bucky Irving last season. The Arizona State product was excellent in 2023, tallying over 1,400 yards of offense and nine touchdowns. However, he saw his production and touch share dip in 2024 as he became a committee back due to the emergence of Irving. Entering his fourth NFL campaign, Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Gizzard sounds like he wants to keep him involved in the team's offensive game plan. "Really good route-runner. We all know he's really good with the ball in his hands on screens, drop back pass game," Gizzard said of White. "I don't want to compare him to a lot of other guys, but he is close to, if not as good as, anybody we see in terms of pass protection in the NFL." White's days as a workhorse back appear to be over, but he continues to stay on the fantasy football radar as a handcuff with standalone value, especially in PPR leagues. White has hauled in 185 receptions in 50 career games and would have RB1 upside due to touch volume if Irving has to miss any time in 2025.

The Seattle Seahawks are heading into the 2025 season with a clear backfield competition. Kenneth Walker III has been outstanding across his first three years in the league, but recurring injuries have left the door open for third-year back Zach Charbonnet to push for more snaps. Charbonnet totaled eight touchdowns in 2024 despite starting just six of 17 games, showcasing his explosiveness and versatility. With new quarterback Sam Darnold under center, this two-headed backfield could emerge as one of the most dynamic tandems in the NFL, and a tricky one for fantasy managers to navigate.
