Should I pickup Rachaad White for fantasy football after his Week 10 performance? Is Rachaad White a good fantasy pick off the waiver wire? Read the fantasy football waivers outlook.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers managed to pull out a win over the Seattle Seahawks in their Week 10 game in Germany, but Tampa Bay exits the week with some serious questions at the running back position.

Many expected Tampa's rookie RB Rachaad White to see an uptick in usage as the season progressed and that was indeed the case in Week 10's win over Seattle. In addition to White's increased volume, incumbent Bucs' starter Leonard Fournette suffered what appeared to be a minor hip injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 10 contest.

What did Rachaad White do in Week 10? Should you pick him up in fantasy leagues as we head into Week 11?

What Did Rachaad White Do In Week 10?

Many insiders on the Tampa Bay beat suspected that Rachaad White's usage would climb during the back half of the season due to the recent ineffectiveness of incumbent starter Leonard Fournette. That was indeed the case in Week 10.

White not only out-carried Fournette against the Seattle Seahawks, 22-14, but also got the start in Week 10. The rookie scampered for 105 rushing yards on his 22 attempts.

While Fournette exited the game in the fourth quarter with a hip injury, he and White had shared roughly an even workload to that point. The rookie's 105-yard outing marked the first time the Bucs had rushed for over 100 yards since Week 1.

Should I Pickup Rachaad White Off the Waiver Wire in Fantasy Football?

White is currently rostered in about 45% of Yahoo fantasy leagues, but that number will spike dramatically this week. You can expect the rookie to be a hot ticket on the waiver wire after his Week 10 performance.

While the banged-up Fournette will get a bye in Week 11 to heal up, it's clear that the veteran's stock is dropping in the eyes of the Tampa Bay coaching staff.

Fantasy managers should aggressively look to add White in all leagues as his opportunities continue to climb in an offense that's trying to find its groove. The rookie has proven himself to be a dynamic player and has looked to have more burst with the ball in his hands than the aging Fournette.
