Should You Start or Sit Rachaad White in Week 13?
Tampa Bay’s backfield is very clearly trending away from Rachaad White, but he is holding onto Flex value this week thanks to his versatility and a matchup with the worst defense in the league when it comes to points allowed per drive.
Buccaneers RB snaps shares, Week 12:
- Bucky Irving: 54.8%
- White: 46.8%
- Sean Tucker: 8.1%
The Sean Tucker thing is what could be a problem. If his role gets expanded, a three-back committee is difficult to feel good about. White has earned at least six targets or run for a score in five straight games, a form that slides him inside my top 35 at the position, even as I continue putting air in Irving’s tires.
