BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers currently sitting on a 4-5 record, it wouldn't be a surprise to see some shake-ups for the disappointing squad. That could start with their running game, as the Bucs currently rank dead last in the NFL in average rushing yards per game at just 60.7.
Tampa Bay rookie RB Rachaad White is a strong candidate to see increased usage for the Bucs as the season progresses. White comes into Week 10 on the heels of posting 59 all-purpose yards against the L.A. Rams in Tampa Bay's Week 9 victory.
With their incumbent RB1 Leonard Fournette's 3.3 yards per carry standing as the worst average in the NFL among running backs with 75 or more attempts, we could see White begin to slowly steal some opportunities from the aging Fournette.
To that end, The Athletic's Greg Auman predicts that White will take over as the team's primary back by the season's end. The younger - and cheaper - White has already begun to cut into Fournette's workload, as he saw just one fewer carry than the veteran against the Rams in Week 9.
Fantasy managers should aggressively look to add White in 12+ team leagues as his opportunities continue to climb in an offense that's trying to find its groove. The rookie has proven himself to be a solid pass catcher, as he's snagged 20 of 25 targets for 135 yards this season, and has looked to have more burst with the ball in his hands than the aging Fournette.
