Ke'Shawn Vaughn Fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn rushed for 15 yards on four attempts in Sunday's 23-17 overtime loss to the Cleveland Browns. He wasn't targeted in the passing game during Sunday's defeat. The 25-year-old backed up Rachaad White and saw an uptick in usage with Leonard Fournette (hip) ruled out, logging a season-high four attempts. White was Tampa Bay's primary back Sunday and had out-touched Vaughn 23-to-4. Vaughn could complement White against the Saints in Week 13 if Fournette is ruled out again, but he would mainly be a dart throw in deep-league formats due to his limited role.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn projects to have a bigger role in Week 12 with Leonard Fournette (hip) sidelined. While rookie Rachaad White will operate as the Bucs' lead back, Vaughn should serve as his backup. He saw the field after Fournette exited back in Week 10, registering three touches and 12 scrimmage yards. While Vaughn could face some competition from Giovani Bernard (ankle), who was activated from IR on Saturday, the 25-year-old will likely be their No. 2 considering he has been healthy for the whole season. He ranks as a fringe top-48 back in fantasy football this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Rachaad White and Ke'Shawn Vaughn could be in line for more touches moving forward. Head coach Todd Bowles said the team "has to play" White and Vaughn more moving forward. Vaughn has yet to play an offensive snap for Tampa Bay, so the fantasy relevance of this news is geared more towards White. For now, White shouldn't be started in fantasy lineups, but perhaps he'll have some standalone value later this season. It's tough to trust just what coaches say, so this is a backfield to monitor over the next few games. If you have Fournette rostered, handcuffing him with White isn't a bad idea at all.
