BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Rachaad White remains embedded directly below Leonard Fournette on Tampa Bay’s depth chart. This provides a clear path toward a massive workload usage if Fournette becomes unavailable during the weeks ahead.
White’s snap shares in Weeks 4-5 had approached the periphery of 40% (38%/39%) in Weeks 4-5, but his share plunged to 22% in Week 6. However, he operated with a season-high share in Week 7 (43%) while generating a team-high 24 rushing yards when the Buccaneers traveled to Carolina. He has also accumulated 26 attempts, 71 rushing yards, and a rushing touchdown since Week 1 while capturing 14 of his 19 targets.
Those numbers are not sufficient for White to be placed in your lineups. However, he is capable of delivering borderline RB1 production if he would be elevated into Tampa Bay’s lead-back responsibilities. Fournette has now accumulated 103 attempts (14.7 per game), and a receiver (39 targets/5.6 per game), (185 routes), as he continues to operate as the Buccaneers’ primary back.
That provides the motivation for seizing White, as he would not encounter completion for touches if Fournette would be sidelined for any reason. This keeps him entrenched among the backs that should be targeted on this week’s waiver wire.
