Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Rachaad White

Friday, October 3, 7:47 PM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold checks in as a streamer in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Darnold has found consistency as the Seahawks' quarterback with three straight performances hovering around 16.5 fantasy points. While those types of numbers will not win you your week, it is a great boost to your roster if you are having quarterback issues due to injuries or bye weeks. Darnold has been very efficient this season. He has only turned the ball over three times, and he is completing 70% of his passes. The Buccaneers have been generous to opposing quarterbacks in fantasy. They are allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Darnold should have a fine day this weekend. If the Bucs make this a very competitive game, then it is likely that the Seahawks' passing volume will increase as well. That would make Darnold even more valuable in Week 5. Fire him up with confidence.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White will move into the lead back role for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Bucs will be without Bucky Irving (foot) for at least Sunday's game, but possibly longer. That being said, White will get a chance to make an impact after a slow start to the season. Through four games, White has rushed the ball 23 times for 108 yards with one touchdown while hauling in eight receptions for an additional 34 yards through the air. At times, White has shown the ability to be a capable dual-threat back. He'll get a favorable matchup against the Seattle defense this weekend. White should see enough touches to be able to provide flex value for Week 5.
