Rachaad White was one of fantasy football's biggest breakouts in 2023. He emerged from the running back dead zone to deliver an RB4 season (overall) in PPR leagues. White's dominant fantasy performance came on the back of massive volume, racking up over 300 touches including 64 receptions -- 4th among all running backs.
White dominated the Tampa Bay backfield in every capacity. He handed 67 percent of rushing attempts, ran 383 routes (2nd among RBs), and received nearly every goal-line carry. At a volume-driven position, this is all you can from your fantasy RB.
Heading into 2024, White is a highly debated player. Sure, he delivered a high-end fantasy season but he didn't look the best doing it. He struggled in nearly every running back efficiency metric. This included missed tackles forced per attempt, breakaway run rate, rush yards over expected, and more.
The path to success for White is once again dominating touches. Some drafters are hesitant about this outcome and shy away from the inefficiency which is why you'll find him in the high-end RB2 range in most drafts.

 Bucky Irving misses practice, says he'll play Sunday
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Sep 26, 12:20 pm
|  | Bucky Irving, limited Wednesday with a hamstring injury, did not practice today. Irving declines to say how or when he hurt his hamstring but reiterates: I’ll be ready for the game on Sunday.” (Greg Auman on X)
FFToday's Take: Missing a Thursday practice is never a good sign and players are always optimistic about their availability. We'll get a better idea of Bucky's true status after practice on Friday. Rachaad White has been highly inefficient this season but should still get a decent workload against the Eagles on Sunday.

HC: Rookie RB has "earned more snaps moving forward"

| | Todd Bowles says rookie RB Bucky Irving has earned more snaps going forward. (Buccaneers.com - Scott Smith)
FFToday's Take: Irving (6.2 yards per carry) has been a far superior runner to Rachaad White (2.1) through three weeks. White is so gifted as a receiving option out of the backfield that he will likely continue seeing a heavy dose of work on passing downs, but no one should be surprised if HC Todd Bowles opts for a hot-hand approach on running downs. White has quickly become more of a dicey RB2 option, while Irving has emerged as a serviceable flex with upside.
