BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: It has been a rough start to the season for Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White. He is averaging just 2.13 yards per carry through the first three weeks, while Bucky Irving is averaging 6.2 yards per carry to start the season. Given Irving's efficiency on the ground, the rookie should see more carries in the coming weeks.
As a result, White is trending down in fantasy heading into Week 4. But it'll be hard to sit him in Week 4 against an Eagles defense that has allowed over 5.2 yards per carry to opposing running backs this season. With Irving also dealing with a hamstring injury and missing practice on Thursday, the third-year running back should be started in most 12-plus team leagues this weekend.
#Bucs HC Todd Bowles on whether Bucky Irving has earned the right to be the starting running back:
“No… We’re gonna need Bucky and Rachaad [White] all year. Bucky had some schemed runs that worked and Rachaad had some that didn’t. That doesn’t mean he’s playing better, that… pic.twitter.com/d7WzRZ3bCb

While White hasn't been efficient on the ground, his receiving upside gives him a higher floor than most other running backs. He has caught at least five passes in two of three games this year, so he comes in as an RB2 in fantasy this week.
