| Ellis Johnson True North Fantasy Football | The more I look into White, the less optimistic I am for 2023. The team has talked him up all off-season and could be amongst the top of the league in RB touches. However, last season splitting time with Fournette, he only had three games over 40 rushing yards. He did surprise as a pass catcher, but that usage may decrease with Tom Brady retiring. Plus, all videos out of the camp of Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask have been alarming, and not in a good way. This team might be amongst the worst in the league, and unless White can become more efficient, he might be a low ceiling volume play every week. | |
| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | Zeke is currently a free agent. However, that could change. Two teams to keep an eye on are the Cleveland Browns and the L.A. Chargers. The Browns don't want to overwork Nick Chubb. They want him on a pitch count so they don't overwork him. Chubb had a knee injury at Georgia. The Chargers brought in Zeke's former coach, Kellen Moore, to be their offensive coordinator. Zeke would form a RBBC with Austin Ekeler- and presumably take over the short-yardage role just like he did at Dallas. The sticking point right now is $. Zeke wants to be the top dog and to be paid as such. Teams are unwilling to meet either of those demands. Keep an eye on this situation as the summer progresses. | |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 5/5: The Bucs selected 0 RBs in th 2022 Draft -- a HUGE vote of confidence and endorsement in sophomore Rachaad White. Sure, White was inefficient as a rookie, and the Bucs are due for a major step back going from Brady to Baker... but volume is king at RB and White faces almost no competition for heavy work in every phase of the game. Plus, Akers was a Top-6 RB with Baker at QB, so it's not impossible for an RB to maintain fantasy juice with Mayfield 3/7: With Lenny released, path to be "The Guy" is clear - but the offense he'll be a part of is HIDEOUS. 2/8 - Expect him to enter 2023 as lead guy, but what will this offense look like? A committee RB with no more Tom Brady = a whole lot less appealing. | 5/5: Still unsigned. Speaks volumes. 3/19: Rumors that Buffalo is interested in a "big back." Zeke is gross now, but would have 12+ TD upside yet again in BUF, so he's not completely off my draft list (same logic with Lenny) 3/17: Released. Unlkely he lands anywhere with serious value. 3/7: Pollard franchised. Best days clearly behind him, but feels like a Schotty guy and could be a real cheap source of 250+ touches & TDs 2/8 - Pollard expected back. Still has decent TD upside in Schotty's run-obsessed scheme, but much lower ceiling. |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | Rachaad White saw his role grow during the second half of the season, forcing a timeshare with Leonard Fournette. From Weeks 10-17, White operated as the 1A in the Buccaneers' backfield averaging 11 fantasy points per game (RB26). He wasn't great as a rusher - four yards per carry, 66.4 PFF rushing grade - but no running back was particularly efficient behind Tampa's patchwork offensive line. The first-year rusher was still better than Fournette on the ground, as the veteran finished third-to-last in rushing EPA (-39.13). And there was no better display of White edging out Fournette on the field than in the first round of the NFL playoffs. Fournette carried the ball just 5 times for 11 yards while White started and rushed for 41 yards on 7 carries, adding 4-of-6 targets for 36 yards (56% snap share). White's superior season and proficiency as a receiver (50 receptions, 11th among all RBs) solidify him as the RB1 moving forward. Tampa Bay released Fournette, signed Chase Edmonds in free agency and added Sean Tucker as an undrafted free agent. | I was vehemently against drafting Ezekiel Elliott across all formats in 2022. I was convinced that his best days were behind him and that Tony Pollard was the clear-cut better running back in the Dallas backfield. And I felt like the stance was mostly correct. Zeke finished as RB19 versus Pollard's RB7 status. Elliott posted career lows in yards per carry (3.7), receptions and targets. But he was an absolute TD monster, finishing second in expected touchdowns with 12 real rushing scores. Only Joe Mixon and Jamaal Williams totaled more carries inside the 10-yard line than Elliott. And ultimately the scoring was what made Zeke a usable fantasy asset especially after he returned from injury. He scored eight touchdowns from Weeks 11-17. For him to sustain any fantasy value in 2023 and beyond, Elliott will need to carve out a role as a team's primary red-zone back. |
