BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White had an otherwise pedestrian day against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9 salvaged by a touchdown run. It's reasonable that he didn't have a great rushing day, as the opposing defense was the best in the league at stopping running backs.

Though he's lost a significant amount of backfield work to rookie RB Bucky Irving, he still has a receiving role and plays far more snaps than the freshman. He'll still have value as a RB3/FLEX starter in fantasy football lineups moving forward, though returning to his 2023 production is largely a pipe dream.
He's operating in a committee now, though it's good that third-string man Sean Tucker hasn't had much of a role, despite his huge game against the New Orleans Saints earlier in the season. The Bucs backfield should be viewed as a two-man show, with White and Irving splitting the majority of the meaningful work while Tucker serves as a backup to the duo.
Most encouragingly, No. 1 has still seen a solid number of targets, so he'll have solid value in PPR fantasy leagues moving forward as long as that holds. The goal-line work doesn't hurt, either.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically.

Not every WR is like this, though, […]
