Rachaad White

Over the last two seasons, with Bucky Irving in town, Rachaad White was a more effective per-touch player, but with Irving out of the lineup last year, he proved again that he can carry the mail (although while being horribly inefficient). Last season, in Weeks 5-12, White averaged 14.6 touches and 60 total yards while seeing 71% of the snaps. During that span, White was the RB23 in fantasy points per game with a 1.2% explosive run rate, a 14% missed tackle rate, and only 1.52 yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). White has moved on to Washington for the 2026 season, and he could easily be their starting running back this season if he can secure the job coming out of camp. He is a decent dice roll for fantasy football for 2026, who could stack up enough volume to pay off for fantasy gamers.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said RB Rachaad White stood out throughout the offseason program.

Fantasy Impact

White will have something to prove after signing a one-year contract with Washington. He should hold an immediate role on passing downs as Jacory Croskey-Merritt and rookie Kaytron Allen also compete for roles in the Commanders backfield.
