Scouting report

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Bucky Irving may be getting more work on the ground but Rachaad White is the guy on passing downs. He's now up to 31 catches on the year and has now scored in three straight games (3 receiving, 1 rushing). White is a flex this week against the 49ers in the midst of a timeshare with Irving but gets a boost in PPR formats.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Kansas City Chiefs

Rachaad White totaled 67 yards on 11 touches with a touchdown last week against the Falcons. The Bucs have been starting to favor Bucky Irving (16 touches in Week 8) but Irving is questionable with a toe injury. White finds himself in the middle of a three-man crew with Irving and Sean Tucker. Kansas City is also allowing the fewest fantasy points to running backs. With the Monday kickoff, it's understandable if you'd rather just look elsewhere at the position rather than gamble on the Tampa backfield.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Rachaad White's return from injury saw him rush the football ten times, one more than Bucky Irving. Sean Tucker had five carries. The Bucs may spread the ball around in the backfield but White has the edge again in the passing game. He caught six passes for 71 yards and two touchdowns in the 41-31 shootout last Monday against the Ravens. In Week 5 against the Falcons, White ran ten times for 72 yards. White has slightly the most value of the Bucs backs, but this is a true committee.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Atlanta Falcons

Rachaad White saw the same number of carries as Bucky Irving in Week 4. Are we heading towards a running-back-by-committee approach in Tampa? It sure feels that way. White has the slight edge in the passing game, but at this point, it's near even between the two and both should be viewed as flex plays against the Falcons.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The gap between Rachaad White and Bucky Irving seems to be closing quickly. White has just 66 rushing yards and is averaging 2.1 yards per carry through three games. The rookie Irving has been gaining momentum and is out-rushing White 154-66. White remains the starter but if he doesn't bounce back soon, it's nothing for the Bucs to shift to Irving as the lead back.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Detroit Lions

Rachaad White looks like he'll once again be a nice part of the Buccaneers' passing game. White caught six passes for 75 yards in Week 1 against the Commanders. He'll clean up the rushing attack -- just 31 yards on 15 carries. The Lions held Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers to 66 yards on 20 carries in Week 1. But given the receiving value White brings, he remains a solid RB2 option for Week 2.

TB RB Rachaad White - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.
