The Bucs emerged victorious in what was the game of the week in the entire league last Sunday, toppling the Seahawks in a wild 38-35 shootout by way of yet another walk-off field goal. Running back Rachaad White got the start in place of an injured Bucky Irving and played a major role in the big road victory.
Below, we’ll go over White’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 6.
Fantasy Football analysis: Buccaneers RB Rachaad White
White recorded 14 carries for 41 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground in last week’s victory over the Seahawks, also catching four targets for 40 receiving yards on the day. He was one of several offensive players on both sides who stepped up and made big plays in that chaotic showdown and it was his 12-yard run in the final minute that set up Chase McLaughlin’s game-winning field goal from 39 yards.
Whether it’s running, catching, or pass-blocking for Baker Mayfield, the fourth-year back has been a jack-of-all-trades for the Bucs’ offense and is a big part of why they’re sitting at 4-1 heading into the week. Something to note is that he’s been extremely efficient with the ball in his hands, boasting a 4.97 total EPA and a 54.05% success rate that ranks second among ball-carries with at least 25 carries this season.
Start or sit in Week 6 Standard leagues?
Start. The Bucs will keep finding ways to get the ball into White’s hands and he may actually get a few extra receiving targets with Chris Godwin being ruled out for the contest. He already enters the week as a top-30 running back in all scoring formats and I’d give him a start in a Flex spot.
