Chase Edmonds Placed On Season-Ending Injured Reserve
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Chase Edmonds (undisclosed) is being placed on the season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday. Meanwhile, wide receiver Rakim Jarrett (undisclosed) will go on IR-designated to return and will be eligible to come back after missing the first four games of the season. Edmonds will miss all of 2024 after missing all of training camp and the preseason with an undisclosed injury. It means that the Bucs will now ask Bucky Irving, Sean Tucker and DJ Williams to step up as depth options in the backfield behind starter Rachaad White. The 28-year-old former fourth-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2018 out of Fordham saw only 49 carries for 176 yards (3.6 yards per carry) in his first year with the Bucs in 2023, adding 14 receptions for 81 yards in 13 games. The rookie Irving is the favorite for the RB2 role now that Edmonds' season is over.
Chase Edmonds Expected To Start Season On Injured Reserve
According to Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles, running back Chase Edmonds (undisclosed) is expected to begin the season on the injured reserve list. No surprise here, considering the veteran back has been battling an unspecified ailment throughout training camp. Of course, the No. 1 spot on the depth chart is held by Rachaad White, who narrowly missed the 1,000-yard rushing mark in 2023-24. As a result, Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker will be looking for scraps, although neither player should be viewed as anything more than an insurance policy.
Greg Auman of Fox Sports believes running back Chase Edmonds (undisclosed) is one of the bigger names on the roster bubble for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this summer. Edmonds hasn't been able to practice or play for weeks in training camp because of an undisclosed injury. Lead back Rachaad White, rookie fourth-rounder Bucky Irving, and Sean Tucker seem to be locks now for Tampa Bay's 53-man roster, and the question is whether the team keeps Edmonds as a fourth back. The 28-year-old veteran receiving back bottomed out in 2023 with the Bucs, rushing for just 3.6 yards per carry over 49 attempts and catching only 14 passes in 13 appearances, so Edmonds might need a change of scenery for any real shot at fantasy relevance in 2024.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Chase Edmonds (undisclosed) remains sidelined and is nearing two weeks out. After a lackluster performance last year and an offseason marked by injuries, Edmonds' spot on the team is uncertain. He has been struggling with this injury since the early days of training camp and was expected to compete with rookie Bucky Irving and others for backup roles behind starting running back Rachaad White. Edmonds' productivity plummeted last season, as he managed only 176 rushing yards on 49 carries, putting him firmly on the roster bubble. On the plus side, Edmonds and White were the only running backs to see offensive snaps for Tampa Bay over the last ten weeks of the season, including the playoffs. While the backup role for any Tampa Bay running back may not be valuable in fantasy, Rachaad White managers must monitor the situation.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are re-signing running back Chase Edmonds to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday, according to a source. Edmonds will return to Tampa in 2024 as a backfield complement to Rachaad White, who should continue to command most of the running back touches for the Bucs in 2024. The 27-year-old Edmonds played in only 13 games in his first year with Tampa in 2023 and had just 49 carries for 176 yards and no touchdowns, adding 14 receptions for an additional 81 yards through the air. Unless White suffers an injury, Edmonds will be little more than a deep-league handcuff in fantasy. The Buccaneers also have Sean Tucker in the RB room and could add to the position in the upcoming NFL draft.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Chase Edmonds (toe) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Edmonds occupied a depth role behind Rachaad White this year, averaging 3.8 carries and 14.5 rushing yards per game during the regular season. In the opening round of the playoffs last week, he was more involved, rushing seven times while also adding an eight-yard reception.
Chase Edmonds To Be Questionable For Sunday's Game
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that running back Chase Edmonds (toe) will be questionable for the Divisional Round of the playoffs on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. After not practicing on Wednesday and Thursday, Edmonds returned to practice on Friday and at least has a chance to suit up against Detroit. Even if the 27-year-old is cleared to play this weekend, he's not much of an option for fantasy lineups in DFS as the clear backup to starter Rachaad White. Edmonds didn't have a single game during the regular season with double-digit half-PPR points. In total, he had 49 carries for 176 yards and no touchdowns. If Edmonds is unable to play against the Lions, rookie Sean Tucker would have a bigger role as the No. 2 behind White in an offense that prefers to throw the ball.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Chase Edmonds (toe) was unable to practice with the team on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Edmonds is now fully in jeopardy of missing the Divisional Round of the playoffs on Sunday in Detroit against the Lions. The 27-year-old will need to get back on the practice field to have a shot at suiting up. And even if Edmonds is active this weekend, he'll continue being the clear backup to starter Rachaad White in a Buccaneers offense that loves to air it out first and foremost. Edmonds' best fantasy day in 2023 was when he put up 8.1 half-PPR points in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints. He did not suit up in the first meeting with the Lions in Week 6. If Edmonds cannot play on Sunday, rookie Sean Tucker would be elevated to the backup job.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Chase Edmonds (toe) was listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's walkthrough practice. We'll have a better idea of whether Edmonds' injury is serious enough to keep him out of the Divisional Round this Sunday against the Detroit Lions once the team releases their Thursday injury report. The 27-year-old had seven carries for 12 yards and caught one pass for eight yards in Monday night's wild-card win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Going into this week with an injury as the clear backup to Rachaad White in Tampa's backfield with a bad matchup upcoming against the Lions, Edmonds doesn't really have much DFS appeal for the Divisional Round. If he's unable to play this weekend, rookie Sean Tucker would work as White's backup against the Lions.
