Bottom Line

Our 2023 Breakout Pick, White delivered for the Buccaneers as a receiving RB who was a solid RB1 in PPR leagues.

But the Buccaneers lost OC Dave Canales and are changing offenses once again. Though White will be used heavily in the game plan, it may be difficult for him to repeat last year’s success.

They also added rookie RB Bucky Irving, who brings receiving upside.

White is a high-end RB2 both in ADP and our rankings accounting for his receptions regressing to the mean and the Buccaneers’ offense as a whole taking a step backward.

What We Learned Last Year

  • White’s 1,539 total yards ranked fourth among RBs. His 64 catches also ranked fourth.
  • He did not miss any games due to injury. He has not sustained an injury in his NFL career.
  • White ranked as the PPR RB4 in total fantasy points and RB10 in points per game.
    • He finished RB12 or better nine times. He recorded three games between RB13 and RB24.
  • He ranked 42nd among all ball carriers in rushing success rate at 40.8%.
  • White played 78% of the Buccaneer’s offensive snaps last season (the highest snap percentage of any RB in the league).
  • He significantly improved his per-game statistics from his rookie season.
    • 16.0 carries (7.59)
    • 58.2 rushing yards (28.3)
    • 0.35 rushing TDs (0.06)
    • 4.12 targets (3.41)
    • 19.9% Opportunity Share (11.9%)
    • 3.76 catches (2.94))
    • 32.3 receiving yards (17.1)
    • 0.18 receiving TDs (0.12)
  • Among 51 RBs with 90+ carries last year, White ranked:
    • 44th in Pro Football Focus rushing grade
    • 28th in PFF’s Elusive Rating
    • 46th in NFL Next Gen Stats’ Rush Yards Over Expected Per Attempt
  • His receiving metrics were better. Among 43 RBs with 30+ targets, White ranked:
    • 21st in PFF receiving grade
    • 19th in yards per route run

What to Expect in 2024

  • White enters his third season with the Buccaneers under HC Todd Bowles
  • New OC Liam Coen spent last year as the Kentucky OC after coordinating the Rams in 2022.
    • In 2022, the Rams ranked 25th with 411 rushing attempts.
  • The Buccaneers are expected to take a slight step backward. They are tied for second in the NFC South with a 7.5 win total at most sportsbooks.
  • The Buccaneers have the 21st-highest odds to win the Super Bowl at +5500 on most sportsbooks, second best in the division.
  • White enters his third season at 25 years old. According to our aging curve research, the average RB with White’s career produces at 98% of his peak value at age-25.
  • The Bucs added RB Bucky Irving in the fourth round of this spring’s draft. He’s undersized and tested poorly at the Combine. But Irving tallied 2,238 rushing yards, 712 receiving yards, and 21 TDs at Oregon over the past two seasons.

Rachaad White, RB TB

Rachaad White (Illness) Now Questionable

Buccaneers RB Rachaad White is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles because of illness, according to multiple reports. Players most commonly play through such designations for illness. But the late arrival of White's issue could factor into his availability. RB Bucky Irving is also questionable with a hamstring injury, though he has said he expects to play and appeared to be moving well when testing it out Saturday. We'll check both Tampa Bay RBs when Sunday's inactives arrive.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Bucs RB Rachaad White's knee is "fine" and that he will play vs. the Colts today. White was added to the injury report on Saturday "only as a matter of precaution" after his knee "briefly locked up on Friday," according to Schefter. But "there is nothing structurally wrong with White’s knee." We'll continue to keep an eye on White up to and throughout today's game. But he can stay in starting fantasy lineups in this plus matchup against the Colts' 31st-ranked RB defense.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler hears that Bucs RB Rachaad White (knee) is expected to play vs. the Colts on Sunday. White was added to the injury report on Saturday and is listed as questionable. We'll look for further updates on his status and how big an issue that knee might be in Indianapolis.

The Buccaneers on Saturday added RB Rachaad White to the injury report as questionable with a knee issue. White didn’t turn up on any of the week’s practice reports, so this issue must have arisen at some point since Friday’s practice. We’ll obviously need to watch White’s status up until game time against the Colts. If he can’t go, Chase Edmonds looks like the next guy up. He was the only other Bucs RB to play any offensive snaps last week. Edmonds played just 21%, though, and White has dominated backfield touches all season. We’d bet on more of a committee in his absence than Edmonds taking over that role. Edmonds can work as an insurance option, though, if you don’t have a better replacement available

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler confirms that Bucs WR Russell Gage will miss the entire 2023 season with the knee injury he suffered in Wednesday's practice. Gage was locked into Tampa's No. 3 WR job before this injury. The Bucs are now left with WRs Trey Palmer, Deven Thompkins, David Moore, and Rakim Jarrett to battle for that job. Palmer is an intriguing rookie and might be worth a look near the very end of best-ball drafts. Gage's injury should mean extra targets for WR Chris Godwin, WR Mike Evans, RB Rachaad White, and TE Cade Otton. We've adjusted all the Bucs in the 2023 fantasy football rankings.

Update: Gage suffered a ruptured right patellar tendon.
