• Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Scores TD on six touches

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  White rushed three times for 19 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night. White scored his long overdue first rushing touchdown of the campaign on a seven-yard run early in the second quarter, but he was held to a season-low six touches despite the Buccaneers being down Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring). Rookie backfield mate Bucky Irving logged four more carries and the same amount of catches as White, but the workload in the Buccaneers backfield has been somewhat unpredictable from game to game. Evans will remain out for a Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers, and McMillan might be hard-pressed to return on a short week, so White will have another opportunity for an expanded role in that contest.

• Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Records receiving TD in loss

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  White rushed six times for 29 yards and secured five of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He also lost a fumble. White's day started off in less than ideal fashion when he fumbled on the second play from scrimmage, but the third-year back bounced back with a serviceable all-around day salvaged by his third receiving touchdown of the campaign. White found the end zone from 18 yards out early in the second quarter and tied his second-highest catch total of the season, but he notably saw three fewer carries than backfield mate Bucky Irving. The Buccaneers' backfield figures to continue being difficult to decipher in a Week 9 road matchup against the Chiefs on Monday night, Nov. 4.

• Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Back in action Monday

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  White (foot) is listed as active Monday against the Ravens. While sitting out Week 6 due to a foot issue, White yielded the Buccaneers backfield to Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker, who combined for 219 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries, plus five catches on five targets for 80 yards and one more TD. Both Irving and Tucker eclipsed the century mark on the ground, with the former starting and handling a 64 percent snap share and the latter getting a 38 percent share. Because coach Todd Bowles told Scott Smith of the team's official site last Thursday that Tampa Bay will roll with the "hot hand" at running back, White can no longer expect to see the 13.6 touches per game that he received prior to suffering the injury.

• Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Listed as questionable for Monday

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  White (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. White did upgrade to a full participant in Saturday's practice, which is usually a positive indication for one's likelihood to play. White's availability also impacts the duo of Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker, who broke out in a big way in the dominant win over the Saints last week. Head coach Todd Bowles relayed earlier this week that when all three backs are healthy, he anticipates the team will roll with the "hot hand," an ambiguous statement that could be a frustrating one for fantasy managers reliant on any of three options out of the backfield.

• Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Limited in practice again

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  White (foot) was a limited practice participant Friday. White also was limited Thursday, after missing the final two practices of last week and being inactive for a 51-27 win over the Saints. It sounds like offensive coordinator Liam Coen expects White to play Monday against the Ravens, as Coen said Friday that White, Sean Tucker and Bucky Irving each will get a series early in the game, per Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site. Head coach Todd Bowles made similar comments Thursday, discussing a three-man backfield with a "hot hand" approach. It's certainly possible White makes a bid to retake the lead role, but his days of snap shares in the 70-to-80 percent range are over for the time being.
