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.

Rachaad White (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Detroit Lions.

Fantasy Impact

White is not going to be available to play in Saturday's preseason game. He is still dealing with a minor hamstring injury, but HC Dan Quinn told reporters that he is "certainly close" to a return to the field. Jacory Croskey-Merritt stands to benefit if this injury causes the veteran to miss more time beyond this game.
