TB RB Rachaad White - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Rachaad White didn't do a whole lot last week as he finished with a season-low seven rush attempts for 26 yards. He also caught three passes for 12 yards. Also notable is that Ke'Shawn Vaughn finished with six rush attempts behind White, a game after finishing with nine rush attempts. White is still dominating the snap counts, seeing at least 70% of the offensive snaps in every game, but the split touches are a little concerning. As for Week 7, White gets a tough matchup against the Falcons who are 7th in aFPA to RBs. White should be viewed as a solid RB2 option this week.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Detroit Lions

Rachaad White once again led the Bucs' backfield in Week 4 as he saw 15 carries and played on 70% of the offensive snaps. White finished with 56 yards on the ground and caught three passes for 22 yards. White hasn't been the most productive player, but he's seeing enough volume that it makes him a good enough option in fantasy. He's averaging a solid 73.0 scrimmage yards per game this season. It is worth noting that Ke'Shawn Vaughn saw nine carries in Week 4, so perhaps he sees more playing time coming out of the bye. But for now, White seems to have a stranglehold on this backfield which makes him a valuable RB2. This week, though, White draws a brutal matchup against the Lions who are 1st in aFPA to RBs.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at New Orleans Saints

Rachaad White struggled to find much running room against the Eagles' defensive line in Week 3 as he ran 14 times for 38 yards (2.7 ypc). He also caught three passes for 24 yards. The only good news to come out of that game is that White played on 91% of the team's offensive snaps as he clearly establishes himself as the lead back of this offense. However, that doesn't mean much if he's not putting up decent production. White could struggle again in Week 4 as he faces another tough defense in the Saints. New Orleans is giving up the 7th-fewest fantasy points to running backs this year, including no rushing or receiving touchdowns allowed to the position. White should be viewed as a solid RB3/flex option in Week 4.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs Philadelphia Eagles

Rachaad White continues to dominate the Bucs' backfield as he had a solid outing in Week 2. White ran 17 times for 73 yards with a touchdown while also catching five passes for 30 yards on five targets. White played on 72% of the team's offensive snaps while Sean Tucker played on 24%. Even though he didn't see much action, it is worth noting that Chase Edmonds has been placed on injured reserve, so White has even less competition for a while. White gets an OK matchup this week against the Eagles, where we'd expect him to see at least 15 touches again. White has been a decent back to trust, and should be viewed as a solid RB2 play in Week 3.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Chicago Bears

Rachaad White saw solid usage in Week 1, rushing a team-high 17 times. But he only finished with 39 yards on the ground while adding 10 yards on two catches. He was easily the lead back, though, playing on 79% of the offensive snaps compare to Sean Tucker who played on 15%, or Chase Edmonds who played 12%. White gets a solid matchup vs. the Bears in Week 2, where we'd expect his yardage numbers to go up from last week. We like White as a strong RB2 play in Week 2.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Minnesota Vikings

Rachaad White finished with 771 scrimmage yards as a rookie despite playing second-fiddle to Leonard Fournette. Fournette is gone now, and White doesn't have a ton of competition behind him. The Bucs' backfield only includes undrafted rookie Sean Tucker and veteran Chase Edmonds. White draws an OK matchup vs. the Vikings, who were a middle-of-the-road team when it came to giving up fantasy points to running backs last season. Since White will get the bulk of the touches in this backfield, he should be viewed as a strong RB2 play in Week 1.

TB RB Rachaad White - 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Rachaad White became a solid contributor in his rookie season, finishing with 771 scrimmage yards with three total touchdowns. He was a solid receiving threat with 50 receptions, most of which came late in the season when he became the starter. From Week 10 through the end of the season, White was the fantasy RB29. Heading into 2023, White’s role is expected to increase following the departure of Leonard Fournette. The Bucs brought in Chase Edmonds this offseason, but he’s not as much of a threat. White is a solid player who should see plenty of touches as the RB1 in this offense. He’ll likely finish around 1,000 scrimmage yards this season, based on our projections.

Fantasy Downside
While White did have some success as a rookie, he wasn’t a strong runner. He was 55th out of 62 eligible running backs in PFF’s rushing grade. And throughout the 2022 season, he averaged just 3.73 yards per carry. White also wasn’t much of a red zone threat, scoring just once on the ground. There’s also the notable absence of quarterback Tom Brady, who had the third-most passing yards in the league last season. This offense as a whole is likely to take a step back this year, meaning less production for White.

2023 Bottom Line
White is a capable running back who can catch the ball and run well enough. Fournette leaving will do wonders for White as he enters his second season. He’ll need to turn into more of a scorer, though. Overall, White is someone who will flirt with 1,000 scrimmage yards and could have 40-50 receptions, making him a valuable player in PPR formats. He’s good value around the 6-7 round range in 12-team redraft leagues.
