Fantasy Upside
Only one running back touched the football more in 2023 than Rachaad White and that was Christian McCaffrey. That helped White to an RB5 finish in 2023 after totaling over 1,500 yards and nine touchdowns. That included 64 catches for 549 yards and three touchdowns. White remains the RB1 in Tampa behind what should be an improved offensive line with the addition of center Graham Barton via the draft.
Fantasy Downside
The Bucs did add Bucky Wright in the fourth round of the draft this year, so he may get some work throughout the season. Will the Bucs also give White a high workload again? He had 336 touches but was also 48th (out of 59 eligible backs) in Pro Football Focus' rushing grade.
2024 Bottom Line
White is still the lead back for the Buccaneers. That alone gives him plenty of value. Could his touches come down? Sure. But he should still see at least 250-275 touches if the Bucs want to work in Wright. He's at least an RB2 with RB1 upside.
