Rachaad White was one of fantasy football's biggest breakouts in 2023. He emerged from the running back dead zone to deliver an RB4 season (overall) in PPR leagues. White's dominant fantasy performance came on the back of massive volume, racking up over 300 touches including 64 receptions -- 4th among all running backs.
White dominated the Tampa Bay backfield in every capacity. He handed 67 percent of rushing attempts, ran 383 routes (2nd among RBs), and received nearly every goal-line carry. At a volume-driven position, this is all you can from your fantasy RB.
Heading into 2024, White is a highly debated player. Sure, he delivered a high-end fantasy season but he didn't look the best doing it. He struggled in nearly every running back efficiency metric. This included missed tackles forced per attempt, breakaway run rate, rush yards over expected, and more.
The path to success for White is once again dominating touches. Some drafters are hesitant about this outcome and shy away from the inefficiency which is why you'll find him in the high-end RB2 range in most drafts.

 Bucky Irving in some doubt for Week 15
Back injury limited him to five touches in Week 14

FFToday's Take: Back injuries are unpredictable, so fantasy managers have little choice but to wait on this week's practice reports before figuring out if they need to make other plans. Even though Rachaad White has picked up his play in recent weeks, the Bucs have leaned more heavily on Irving during their playoff push. Perhaps this injury will force the coaching staff to split their touches evenly from now on, but it would be surprising if Irving did not get the money touches more often. Tampa Bay will not catch much of a break in Week 15, however, as they face a Chargers defense that has yielded only four TDs to the running back position this season. Sean Tucker will be worth a waiver claim if the early news on Irving's Week 15 availability is not good.
