Rachaad White
RB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Availability
Rachaad White carried the ball ten times for 72 yards and caught three passes for negative six yards in Thursday's 36-30 overtime loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
White was solid on Thursday night. He led the team with 72 rushing yards on the night, largely thanks to a 56-yard rush that he was able to break off at one point. He didn't do well as a pass catcher, however, and it's clear that rookie Bucky Irving will continue to be an involved member of Tampa Bay's offense moving forward, which severely limits White's upside.
Rachaad White rushed 10 times for 49 yards in Tampa Bay's Week 4 win against Philadelphia. He additionally hauled in 2-of-3 targets for 35 yards.
Fantasy Impact
White out-produced his counterpart Bucky Irving in scrimmage yards, though did not account for either of the team's two rushing touchdowns. While he was able to register his most efficient rushing performance of the season, he has largely remained a disappointment for fantasy managers. White will serve as a volume-based RB2 versus the Falcons for Week 5.
Rachaad White (illness) is active for Week 4 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Philadelphia Eagles
Fantasy Impact
White was able to clear any remaining hurdles during pregame warmups, and will split time with rookie running back Bucky Irving out of the Tampa Bay backfield against the Eagles Sunday.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Rachaad White, who reportedly dealt with food poisoning and is already feeling better, is set to play in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fantasy Impact
White popped up suddenly on the injury report after practicing in full all week, but there should be no hesitation about his status due to his "illness" designation. However, the third-year pro is averaging just 2.1 yards per carry, far below his already uninspiring career average of 3.6 — though he has been done little favor by his offensive line, which has allowed White negative yards before contact on his rushing attempts, the only of 49 qualified RBs with a sub-zero average. If there was a time to get right, it is now, as fans clamor for rookie RB Bucky Irving to see more touches.
Rachaad White has been added to the injury report as questionable with an illness for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Fantasy Impact
White was added to the injury report on Saturday. Bucky Irving also remains questionable. If either of them are sidelined, the other would become a strong RB2 play.
