Scouting report

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Carolina Panthers

Rachaad White took a back seat to Leonard Fournette last week seeing 11 offensive touches to the veteran's 29. But the rookie still shined with 53 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. White has technically started every game since Week 10, and in that span (six games) he's averaged 76 scrimmage yards per game. This week he draws a tough matchup against the Panthers (9th aFPA). White did play against Carolina earlier in the year (32 scrimmage yards), but he wasn't in the same role he is now. It's not a great matchup, but White should be viewed as a decent RB3/flex option in Week 17.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Arizona Cardinals

Rachaad White led the Bucs in carries last week with 11, but it was only one more than teammate Leonard Fournette. White ran for 38 yards on those carries, and added five yards on one catch (two targets). It was a pretty disappointing game from White, but his usage pretty much remained the same. He just drew a tough matchup. Things get easier this week as White faces a favorable Cardinals defense (29th aFPA). White's ceiling is capped because he's splitting touches with Fournette, and the Bucs like the veteran more than the rookie when it comes to receiving the ball. Owners will need to hope White ends up finding the end zone to make up for the lack of production as a receiving threat. White should be viewed as a solid RB3/flex option for Week 16.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

With Leonard Fournette healthy, the Bucs split duties pretty evenly with him and Rachaad White last week. Fournette played 47% of the snaps with 10 touches while White played 54% of the snaps with 18 touches. Overall, White ran 13 times for 56 yards and caught five passes for 21 yards (on five targets), although he also lost a fumble. Expect the Bucs to continue to split touches between their two backs as they head into Week 15 in an OK matchup vs. the Bengals (17th aFPA). White should be viewed as a mid-tier RB2 option with some upside.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at San Francisco 49ers

Rachaad White ran nine times for 28 yards last week, but he did most of his damage as a receiving threat. White saw eight targets and finished with six receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown. In fact, it was the game-winning touchdown, and a clip from the broadcast showed Tom Brady requested White be in the game over Fournette in that situation. Fournette will still be heavily involved in the offense, but it's another sign that Brady and the Bucs have a lot of trust in the rookie running back. Unfortunately for White owners, the Bucs draw a brutal matchup against the 49ers this week. San Francisco has given up the fewest average fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. White should be viewed as a lower-end RB2 option in Week 14 given his split touches and tough matchup.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. New Orleans Saints

Rachaad White took over lead back duties with Leonard Fournette inactive, playing 90% of the offensive snaps. White played well, rushing for 64 yards. He shined out of the backfield seeing a season-high nine targets, catching all nine passes for 45 yards. White wasn't very involved as a receiver before that game (2.0 rpg), so we'll see if he'll keep that up now that Fournette is expected back in the lineup. White will get a tough matchup vs. the Saints in Week 13 (12th aFPA), and Fournette's likely return means a split of touches. White should be viewed as a low-end RB2 or a strong RB3/flex option this week.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Cleveland Browns

The Bucs leaned heavily on Rachaad White in Week 10, giving him a season-high 22 carries as he ran for 105 yards. It was a dramatic shift for the Bucs considering White had 38 carries through the first nine games. White also played a season-high 64% of the offensive snaps, although he surprisingly had 0 targets out of the backfield. We'll see if the Bucs keep this run-heavy approach against the Browns in Week 12. It's likely they do considering the Browns have given up the second-most average fantasy points to opposing running backs. Given the matchup and White's usage ahead of the Bucs' bye, the rookie should be viewed as a solid RB2 play this week.

TB RB Rachaad White - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Seattle Seahawks in Germany

Rachaad White saw some decent playing time (35%) last week as he ran the ball eight times for 27 yards, caught three passes (three targets) for seven yards and had a kick return for 25 yards. White had 11 touches compared to Fournette's 15 as the splits between these two backs are much closer than they were at the start of the year. White is seeing the ball enough to make him a viable option as an RB3/flex play, especially in PPR formats as White has three receptions in four of his last five games. White draws a decent matchup vs. the Seahawks (22nd aFPA) in Week 10.
