Rachaad White

Since Week 7, White has been the RB10 in fantasy points per game, averaging 13.4 touches and 73.1 total yards. Overall, among 65 qualifying backs, White ranks 44th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 18th in yards after contact per attempt. White is a strong RB2 this week. Carolina is still a dumpster fire run defense. Since Week 11, they have allowed the most rushing yards per game, the highest yards after contact per attempt, and the seventh-highest explosive run rate.

Rachaad White’s role continued to diminish in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. He logged just 6 carries for 30 yards, averaging 5.0 yards per attempt, and caught his only target for 4 yards. With rookie Bucky Irving taking the lead in the backfield and surpassing 1,000 rushing yards on the season, White has increasingly been relegated to a complementary role. This shift in usage highlights the Buccaneers’ confidence in Irving as their primary ball carrier.

Fantasy Impact

White’s reduced workload limits his fantasy value moving forward, particularly as Bucky Irving dominates touches in the backfield. While White remains efficient in limited opportunities, his upside is capped in most formats. Managers should approach White as a deep-league option or insurance for Irving rather than a reliable weekly starter.
