Rachaad White Injury History & Analysis

Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. That should mean lead duties again for TE Payne Durham. He surprisingly ran a route on 88% of Bucs pass plays last week, catching five of seven targets for 29 yards. He'd be a desperation play in season-long lineups but is a viable salary-saver in DFS. Otton's absence could also push more targets to WRs Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan and RBs Bucky Irving and Rachaad White.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving was explosive running the ball picking up 68 carries on 16 rushes, including one TD. He made the Cowboys defense miss numerous tackles throughout the game and was utilized in the passing game. He caught all three for his targets for 24 yards as well

Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. HC Todd Bowles called him a game-time decision on Friday morning, but he’s evidently unlikely to play. The other TEs on Tampa Bay’s roster are Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, and Devin Culp. None is a viable fantasy play. Otton’s absence should push more targets to the WRs and RBs.

Update: The Buccaneers downgraded Otton to out.

Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles said Monday that RB Bucky Irving's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers is uncertain. "We gotta see how it feels," Bowles said of Irving's back. "If we can get it loosened up, he should be okay. If not, we’ll see how the week goes." We'll track the rookie's status throughout this week, but fantasy owners should be lining up alternate plans in case Irving can't go. His absence would make RB Rachaad White a strong fantasy start.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (hip, back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Raiders. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. We should get an update on Irving by Sunday morning and will have Tampa Bay’s inactives by 11:30 am. If he ends up missing this one, Rachaad White would be a borderline RB1 and Sean Tucker at least a RB3 or Flex option.
