Rachaad White Fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White rushed seven times for 41 yards and caught four of his six targets for 36 yards in the Wild Card loss to the Dallas Cowboys. White began to gain more steam as the end of the season neared and he out touched Leonard Fournette 11 to six in this contest. Ultimately, it's tough to know how to value Buccaneers' players heading into next season, as there's a good chance Tom Brady is not their quarterback in 2023. However, White will be on the fantasy radar as at least a depth running back with PPR upside. White caught 50 of his 58 targets in his rookie season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White had a solid first season in the NFL, rushing for 481 yards and one touchdown while adding 50 receptions for 290 yards and two receiving touchdowns. However, the rookie spent the regular season splitting carries with veteran Leonard Fournette and was never able to become the lead back. Tampa Bay begins the playoffs this Monday night in the wild-card round versus the Cowboys and not much should change. White will continue to see some action, but "Playoff Lenny" will likely see the bulk of the looks. The rookie does offer some value with his pass-catching abilities, but it won't be enough to advise starting him in many fantasy leagues. Consider less risky options in the backfield for wild-card weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White only played during the first drive of Sunday's Week 18 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie back was pulled out early during this game because the team already clinched the 4th-seed in the playoffs. That being said, White saw four carries for 15 yards during the first drive before heading to the sideline for the rest of the game. Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Giovani Bernard saw a majority of the touches in this meaningless game. White finished his rookie campaign with 481 rushing yards, and one touchdown, while adding 50 receptions for 290 yards and two touchdowns through the air. It wasn't a great season for White, but he was splitting up the workload with Leonard Fournette. The duo should continue to work as a committee against the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild-Card round. Both players offer some upside because of their receiving abilities.
