2024 RTSports Outlook

White took his game to a new level last season, finishing fourth overall in fantasy running back scoring. He had more than 1,500 total yards, nine touchdowns and 64 receptions. He was super consistent all season because of his workload in both the running and passing game. From Week 7 to 16, White had at least 13 fantasy points all 10 of those games. White did make few plays after contact, averaging just 1.5 yards per carry after contact. He also broke just nine tackles despite having over 300 touches on the season. And his 3.6 yards per carry was not very good for all the work he got. This was a little bit of a letdown for White. He is going to be the No. 1 back for the Bucs but will need to improve on his yards per carry average if he hopes to keep starting. White is a true three-down back. He does a good job of setting blocks and making plays in the passing game. White lacks a little explosiveness, though, and breakaway speed. He also has not been good after contact both of his seasons in the NFL.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: White is an elite fantasy back because of his workload. He gets a ton of work in the passing game, giving him a high weekly floor. It would not surprise if his numbers rise even more this year with just a little improvement in his yards per carry average. Consider White a top-10 fantasy back. White can get around 1,700 total yards, 60 receptions and double-digit touchdowns.

RotoBaller's Outlook

Tampa Bay Buccaneers' third-year running back Rachaad White was a fantasy gem last season, as many didn't select him until much later in drafts. He ended up being one of the biggest steals in 2023. Despite the team's struggles, White emerged as a bright spot in the Buccaneers' offense during the 2023 season. The 25-year-old showcased his versatility and playmaking ability as a runner and a receiver. He finished the 2023 season with 990 rushing yards, six rushing touchdowns, and 549 receiving yards while adding three more receiving scores. White enters the 2024 season as the Buccaneers' primary running back, poised for a valid breakout year. His main competition for touches is fourth-round rookie Bucky Irving, veteran Chase Edmonds, and second-year back Sean Tucker. White is a valuable target in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts, typically in the fourth to the fifth-round range, as his ADP is 40.1 while also being ranked 41st on RotoBaller's player rankings. His potential for a high volume of touches and involvement in the passing game makes him a reliable and high-upside pick. Managers looking for a versatile running back with the potential for a breakout season should consider drafting White. He is positioned as a solid RB2 with RB1 upside, particularly in PPR leagues. His dual-threat capability ensures a high floor, and the potential for increased usage in an improved offense provides a significant upside. White could easily exceed expectations and deliver substantial fantasy value if the Buccaneers' offense performs well with returning quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Player Notes
Jul 9 3:20pm CT

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White posted 990 rushing yards last season, the highest rushing total for a Buccaneer since Doug Martin in 2015 (1,402). Heading into Year 3, White aims to go "well above" the 1,000-yard mark on the ground. "Obviously, my goal is to do whatever I can to help the team win," White said. "We've been last, or 25th to last the past five or six years when it comes to rushing, Tampa Bay has been down bad. My goal, and what I expect me to do, is turn that around." The Buccaneers lost offensive coordinator Dave Canales this offseason, so it will be interesting to see the offensive identity under Liam Cohen. The team selected fourth-round rookie Bucky Irving in the 2024 NFL Draft, but White should remain the clear RB1 and could continue to receive a healthy opportunity share. If he keeps a workhorse role, another top-10 fantasy football season is well within reach.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White saw 75.3% of the team's running back carries and targets in 2023, but running back coach Skip Peete said there will be more competition for touches this season. Tampa Bay selected Oregon running back Bucky Irving in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, while Chase Edmonds and 2023 undrafted free agent Sean Tucker remain on the roster. Ultimately, none of the running backs behind White are expensive investments for the organization, and it's always tricky to know whether a coach is being transparent or just trying to motivate the players in his position room. White was the RB4 overall (PPR) last season behind 990 rushing yards, 549 receiving yards, and nine total touchdowns. Although he could see his rushing volume take a hit, his receiving skill set that he's flashed since his collegiate career at Arizona State should keep him on the field for high-yield fantasy situations.
