Draft Note by John Paulsen
White saw his role shrink in 2024 as rookie Bucky Irving carved out a bigger share of the Tampa backfield. After averaging 19.8 touches per game in 2023, White's post-bye workload was down to just 11.1 last season, producing 9.7 half-PPR points per game—low-end RB3 numbers. That usage could shrink even further in 2025. Head coach Todd Bowles told The Athletic that he “expects greatness” from Irving and that the second-year back’s “opportunities are likely to increase substantially.” To White’s credit, he still ran well in limited work. Among the 46 backs with at least 100 carries, he ranked 5th in yards after contact per attempt, though he was middling in yards before contact and near the bottom in broken tackles per attempt. With Irving on the rise and Tampa clearly preparing to lean on him more, White’s standalone value is fading. He’ll need an Irving injury to push for anything more than RB3/flex value in 2025.
