BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: White was the fourth running back to be selected during last April’s NFL draft when Tampa Bay selected him in Round 3. This placed him in a Buccaneer backfield that is utilizing Leonard Fournette as the primary back. However, White has quickly seized a role as the direct backup to Fournette.
White successfully leapfrogged former third-round selection Ke'Shawn Vaughn and 10-year-veteran Giovani Bernard, as his effectiveness as a pass-catcher accelerated the process.
Fournette retained a sizable workload during Tampa Bay's Week 1 matchup in Dallas, as he carried 21 times, and finished fifth among all backs in Week 1 with 127 rushing yards.
White's workload was respectable during his NFL debut, as he accumulated eight touches. He carried six times, and also collected both of his targets from Tom Brady. White only manufactured 21 total yards, although his efficiency should improve as he develops at the professional level.
White should easily sustain his role as the Buccaneers' RB2 and would become the beneficiary of a significant workload if the 27-year-old Fournette would be unavailable for any reason during the year. That has launched White among this week’s most enticing options, and his availability is destined to decline.
