RB Rachaad White, TB (2 Viewers)

I think that it was heading that way even before Fournette got hurt. Seemed to be splitting series, not unlike Zeke/Pollard.

Something to consider.

Todd Bowles usually defers to veterans..Like a Keshawn Vaughn to start. Be very careful, who you sit for Rachaad White this week

If you arent going to start White in this matchup because of Gio freaking Bernard fresh off IR, then youre never going to start him. Might as well cut.
For sure

Fair point - he couldn’t even get playing time over Ronald Jones.
I don't think they drafted this guy to suddenly give Gio the majority of the touches right off of IR. It's also not realistic in this day and age to see one RB get ALL the touches in an entire game.
Fournette out. CLE stinks against the run. Lousy weather. TB favored.
I'm not sure there's much more a White owner can ask for.
Just hope the fantasy gods aren't up there smirking right now and rubbing their hands together in preparation for screwing us.

Good point there. Might be a very run heavy/short pass type of game.

No one is saying Bernard is getting majority of the touches. He just could siphon off of few pass catching downs. Settle down people.

People act like NFL teams are going into gameday with one RB in uniform or something.

As lousy as Cleveland is against the run, Bernard could probably come off the street, get 15 touches to White's 10, and White still might get 80 yards and a touch.
Cleveland's run D is really, really BAD. White is nearly a dead nuts lock to get most of the RB work, likely including the high value snaps. Nobody's predicting a 50 point effort, but people are waaaay overthinking this.

Any predictions for this kid?
Trying to decide between him and Pachecho in my flex.

I don’t think that’s the concern - rather that Bowles is one of those coaches that has traditionally leaned on his veterans. Did that a lot with the Jets.

Fair enough but his usage has gone up every week and last time they played he got 22 carries. And he has been involved in the passing game since week 1. I do expect Vaughn to get a sneaky amount of work tomorrow at probably 30% with Gio at like 10% off the street. So something like 20/100/1 and 2/12 for White and 7/32 and 3/34 for Vaughn and 2/-5 and 2/7 for Gio.

Not a fan of his as a prospect but opportunity is there. He seems a little tight as a runner but certainly has some passing game skills. Good chance for him to shine.
I think White is a much better option than Pacheco. He's a better player who projects to see a bigger workload, in a better matchup.
If it's PPR, Pacheco doesn't catch passes, White does.

I REALLY want to start White, but my only open spot would be either at RB over Chubb or at flex over AJ Brown or Higgins. Looking the the bench for me, though over AJ Brown is tempting.
This is a dynasty league.

They lost because they got away from him imo
really curious game calling given his early success

Sure seemed like it.
Issue was, for the parts of the game I caught at least, the Browns hellah sold out to stop the run after he gouged them a few times early. Brady just couldn't/didn't do anything with his arm to make them pay for it. That, along with a couple bonehead penalties (one on Evans in particular) stalled out a few drives late 2nd/early 3rd that looked like they may be on to something.
His work in the passing game saved his day, at least. Started him everywhere I owned and got between 15 and 19 points (depending on scoring). I'll take that from my Flex.

If he's getting regular carries, and Tom Brady sees James White when he looks at him, he's startable every week

Maybe in PPR. Not so much in standard scoring leagues
100% If Tampa had run the ball on the Browns crap run D they would have won
Brady just wanted to keep throwing the ball and Cleveland was stopping the pass.
Poor coaching
Seems like that neither RB will be worth playing now
Will be a complete split and neither will get enough volume to be worth using

That part is true, understood
I'm just saying in terms of where the Bucs see things on MM, they didn't win the game
NFL vs FF, I sometimes feel the need to make a point about the mindset of the organization vs all of us chasing points
I hope i didn't step on any toes, totally understand your POV

If you had to pick one going forward in redraft PPR this year it should be White over Fournette, right?
Uninjured. Rising workload. Confidence from QB. Proven performance when given RB1 status. Higher floor.

Neither? Offense feels inconsistent and Fournette has inefficient touches which leads to even ****tier drives. It’s like najee Harris jaylen warren type of situation. Don’t like white in a timeshare

Was that the fumble in the 1st half? When it was punched out? I didn't see 2nd half --

Not sure what to make of him. The fumble seemed to staple his butt to the bench, but when they needed a play to win, White delivered. Fournette didn't look particularly good last night.
Still probably a time share.

I was listening to David Kluge's podcast this week, and he said that in Week 13, on the play for the TD, that Brady basically threw Fournette out of the huddle and yelled to the bench "We need Rachaad"
Anybody else heard anything similar? Did this actually happen? And if it did, why were the snaps basically even again in Week 14?
