BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Rachaad White is a solid start in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons, despite the mediocre performance last week where he rushed 10 times for 49 yards and added two receptions for 35 yards.
While those numbers may not jump off the page, they show White's involvement in both the rushing and passing game, giving him multiple ways to contribute to fantasy teams.
