BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Leonard Fournette continues to operate with a sizable workload, as he accumulates opportunities as a rusher (95 attempts/15.8 per game) and a receiver (36 targets/6.0 per game). Fournette has also run 161 routes entering Week 7.
However, Rachaad White’s involvement in the backfield rotation has also increased since Week 4, as he has carried 12 times while assembling 32 yards on the ground.
White’s usage as a receiving back has also expanded as he ran 18 routes in Weeks 1-3 combined (7/6/5) before accumulating 47 routes from Weeks 4-6 - including a season-best 20 in Week 5. He has also collected 11 receptions and generated 89 receiving yards in Weeks 4-6 after he had been limited to two catches and seven yards from Weeks 1-3.
White has not secured standalone value, but his rising deployment within Tampa Bay’s backfield solidifies his standing as the team’s unchallenged RB2. He would confiscate an enormous workload if Fournette would become unavailable for any reason.
White would also vault into RB1 territory for all fantasy managers if that scenario were to develop, which provides sizable motivation to secure him for your rosters this week.
