• Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Finishes season on downturn

  01/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  White, who rushed once for one yard and secured both targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 wild-card loss to the Commanders on Sunday night, finished the 2024 regular season with 144 carries for 613 yards and three touchdowns and a 51-393-6 line on 57 targets across 16 games. He also committed three fumbles, losing them all. White went into his third season set to still operate as the lead back while rookie Bucky Irving was eased into the NFL ranks as a complementary option. However, there was eventually a changing of the guard in the backfield once it became clear Irving was the more explosive player and capable of handling a true No. 1 workload, and White ultimately finished the regular season with zero touches for only the second time in his career during the Week 18 win over the Saints. The 2022 third-round pick is set to play out the final year of his rookie contract in 2025, and considering what Irving put on film once given control of the ground attack, White may not receive a contract extension offer this offseason.

• Buccaneers' Rachaad White: No touches in Week 18 win

  01/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  White went without a carry or target across 18 snaps in the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday. White surprisingly was a complete non-factor on offense, going without a single touch from scrimmage for only the second time in his career. The first instance came way back in Week 3 of the 2022 season, and that was only over five snaps in White's third professional game. Despite the fact Bucky Irving has clearly taken over the lead-back role, even No. 3 back Sean Tucker recorded two rush attempts in his five snaps Sunday. Nevertheless, given White's experience and pass-protection contributions, he figures to have his fair share of opportunity in Sunday night's wild-card matchup against the Commanders.

• Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Gets three carries, seven catches

  12/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  White rushed three times for 10 yards and caught seven of eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Cowboys. He also lost a fumble. White played second fiddle to Bucky Irving, who turned 19 touches into 92 total yards and a touchdown. The third-year pro posted his lowest rushing yardage total of the season but finished with his third-highest receiving yardage total of the campaign. White was held without a touchdown for only the second time in his last nine games, and his fumble at the end of a six-yard catch with 1:40 remaining secured the loss for Tampa Bay. He'll try to get back on track as a rusher in Week 17 against the generous Panthers run defense.

• Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Productive off 17 touches Sunday

  12/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  White took 15 carries for 64 yards and lost a fumble while adding two receptions for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Chargers. Bucky Irving (back/hip) wound up suiting up after getting injured last week against Las Vegas, leading to an even split in carries between Tampa Bay's tailbacks. White scored the backfield's lone touchdown as a receiver while Irving stole the show with 117 rushing yards with his 15 totes. The latter is the preferred fantasy option in this timeshare, but White retains deep-league value for next Sunday's tilt at Dallas.

• Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Impressive after Irving exit

  12/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  White rushed 17 times for 90 yards and a touchdown and secured two of three targets for 19 yards and another score in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday. White's backfield mate Bucky Irving exited the game for good in the first half with a back injury, and White was able to take advantage with a season-high rushing yardage total. The game marked the third-year pro's second straight efficient effort, as he'd also recorded 76 yards on 11 carries, albeit with the help of a big run in overtime, in a Week 13 win over the Panthers. White added his third rushing touchdown of the season on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter, a score preceded by a five-yard TD grab in the opening period. White's fantasy prospects are on an upswing irrespective of Irving's status going into a Week 15 road matchup against the Chargers.
