BALLER MOVE: Sit in all formats until we get a better gauge of Tampa Bay's backfield
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2
ANALYSIS: The Bucs offense started the season as an absolute gold mine for fantasy. Quarterback Baker Mayfield was balling alongside wideouts Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and there were enough touches and scoring opportunities to go around for Rachaad White and Bucky Irving in the backfield.
Fast forward to Week 8, Evans and Godwin are out, and the backfield has morphed into a three-headed monster featuring Sean Tucker. Ouch.

White played 47.5% of the team's snaps in Week 7, followed by Irving at 35.3%, and Tucker at 19.5%. He's still likely the safest option of the three backs for fantasy due to his pass-catching upside which keeps him more game-script proof for fantasy, but the injury-depleted Bucs have a tough matchup versus the Falcons this week.
Rachaad is the only back of the three you can start for fantasy at this time, but this situation has quickly morphed into the stuff of fantasy football nightmares.
