Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Makes impact as receiver
Rachaad White rushed 10 times for 31 yards and brought in six of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.White logged three fewer carries and 42 fewer yards than backfield mate Bucky Irving, but he set the pace in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets. White also recorded his career-high fourth receiving touchdown of the season with a nine-yard scoring grab early in the third quarter, and he'll face a Giants defense that just allowed 153 rushing yards to the Panthers' Chuba Hubbard in Week 12 following Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye.

Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Scores TD on six touches
Rachaad White rushed three times for 19 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 16 yards in the Tampa Bay 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
Rachaad White rushed six times for 29 yards and secured five of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Tampa Bay 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: Pair of receiving TDs in loss
Rachaad White rushed 10 times for 40 yards and secured all six targets for 71 yards and two touchdowns in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Ravens on Monday.White finished the game as the leader in carries among the Buccaneers' three-pronged ground attack in his return from a one-game absence, but he made his biggest mark by far as a receiver. With Mike Evans exiting the game in the first half with a hamstring injury, White became one of Baker Mayfield's top targets. The versatile back also found the end zone for the first time this season on an 11-yard grab early in the fourth quarter, and he added a second score from 23 yards out with just under two minutes remaining. White could continue in an elevated pass-catching role in a Week 8 home matchup against the Falcons, as Evans is a candidate to miss the game, and per Scott Smith of the team's official site, the injury that forced Chris Godwin to be carted off on Tampa Bay's final drive appears to be a dislocated ankle that head coach Todd Bowles believes is a long-term issue.

Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Back in action Monday
Rachaad White (foot) is listed as active Monday against the Ravens.While sitting out Week 6 due to a foot issue, White yielded the Tampa Bay 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
Rachaad White (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Tampa Bay 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
Rachaad 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 Tampa Bay 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.

Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Limited Thursday
Rachaad White (foot) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.White is kicking off Week 7 prep the same way he did last week, but he also didn't practice last Thursday and Friday before being listed as doubtful and eventually inactive this past Sunday at New Orleans. In White's place, Bucky Irving (64 percent of snaps) and Sean Tucker (38 percent) manned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield, and both players had highly productive performances. Irving racked up 16 touches for 105 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD, while Tucker had 17 touches for 192 total yards and two TDs. Coach Todd Bowles relayed to Scott Smith of the team's official site Thursday that Tampa bay will roll with the "hot hand" at running back once White is healthy. As a result, even of White is able to suit up Monday against the Ravens, he may not be the preferred option among the trio.

Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Sitting out Sunday
Rachaad White (foot) is listed as inactive Sunday at New Orleans, Scott Smith of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' official site reports.Following up a limited practice Wednesday with no activity the next two days typically isn't a great sign for upcoming availability, and White's designation of doubtful for Week 6 indicated as much as he tends to a foot injury. Now that he's officially out for Sunday's game, he'll hand off the Buccaneers backfield to rookie fourth-round pick Bucky Irving for at least one contest. White's next chance for game action arrives Monday, Oct. 21 against the Ravens.

Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Listed as doubtful
Rachaad White (foot) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Saints, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.Coach Todd Bowles referred to White as a game-time decision earlier Friday, and while that usually corresponds with a questionable designation, it turns out the running back is considered highly unlikely to play. Backfield mate Bucky Irving is set up for the largest workload of his young career, assuming the Bucs declare White inactive ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
