The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-0) will host the Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) in Week 4. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Rachaad White.
Is Rachaad White Playing in Week 4?
White is not on the injury report and is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Buccaneers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Rachaad White in Week 4?
For my money, Rachaad White is running well. He’s averaging 5.4 yards per carry in his limited work, and that makes him an appealing handcuff back to Bucky Irving.
We’ve known for years that White is a plus-option as a receiver out of the backfield, so if there is efficiency to chase on the ground, there’s a clear path to top 20 status should Irving go down.
But it’s that last part that is most important.
“Should Irving go down.”
Even with him underwhelming at times this season, Irving has stayed on the field. White has yet to play one-third of the snaps in a game, and I really don’t see that changing.
We are looking at a top-five handcuff, but not a player with a realistic path to starting lineups outside of an injury.
