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 has signed a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders.

Fantasy Impact

The Commanders needed some depth and security at the running back position, an White provides that. He and Commanders QB Jayden Daniels have a history going back to Arizona State, so chemistry is there. For now, White looks to slot in as the Commanders primary receiving back, with 40+ receptions in each of his four NFL seasons to his name. He has some PPR-flex appeal in what should be an offense primed for a rebound.
