Rachaad White Week 3 Outlook - Eagles at Buccaneers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 21st 2023, 8:57am EDT

White has played 72-79% of snaps, averaging 20.5 touches and 76 total yards. I worry that White's hold on this job is loosening. Chase Edmonds was getting a ton of run early in last week's game before leaving due to injury. Maybe White has tightened his grip with last week's game, but I still have a bad spider sense vibe. Among 48 qualifying backs, White ranks 30th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 34th in yards after contact per attempt. He still hasn't managed one explosive run this season. Add all of this on top of pedestrian tackle-breaking numbers from last season, and the worry gets real. Fast. The Eagles are a brick wall against rushing attacks. They have the 11th-best stuff rate, the lowest missed tackles allowed rate, and they haven't allowed an explosive run yet. Good luck, Mr. White. Week 3 Positional Value: Volume-based low-end RB2/high-end RB3
