Draft note
by John Paulsen
Rachaad White has a career 3.7 yards per carry, but he finished RB5 last season after an RB38 finish the year before. He didn’t play starter snaps until Week 10 of 2022, but he was the RB25 down the stretch. White turned in a top-five season in 2023 thanks to volume–he turned 336 touches into 1,539 yards and nine scores. Given that White’s production was volume-based, I’m a bit worried that he may lose some touches to fourth-round pick Bucky Irving. White was 48th (out of 59 eligible backs) in PFF’s rushing grade, though he had a similar rushing grade as Irving’s when comparing their final year collegiate rushing grades. If he retains his high workload, then he could once again post RB1-type numbers. If that usage takes a hit, he may be more of a fantasy RB2.

TB RB Rachaad White - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Only one running back touched the football more in 2023 than Rachaad White and that was Christian McCaffrey. That helped White to an RB5 finish in 2023 after totaling over 1,500 yards and nine touchdowns. That included 64 catches for 549 yards and three touchdowns. White remains the RB1 in Tampa behind what should be an improved offensive line with the addition of center Graham Barton via the draft.

Fantasy Downside

The Bucs did add Bucky Wright in the fourth round of the draft this year, so he may get some work throughout the season. Will the Bucs also give White a high workload again? He had 336 touches but was also 48th (out of 59 eligible backs) in Pro Football Focus' rushing grade.

2024 Bottom Line

White is still the lead back for the Buccaneers. That alone gives him plenty of value. Could his touches come down? Sure. But he should still see at least 250-275 touches if the Bucs want to work in Wright. He's at least an RB2 with RB1 upside.
