I think that it was heading that way even before Fournette got hurt. Seemed to be splitting series, not unlike Zeke/Pollard.Any chance the snap distribution changes to closer to 50:50 when Fournette is back? So far it's been pretty consistent at 67:33

For sureIt’s such a good matchup on paper that I can’t help but envision him laying a fantasy egg.
Anything is possible I suppose but Gio has 30 touches in the last 2 years, none this yearDo not like this Bucs activated RB Gio Bernard from injured reserve.
Just in time to steal touches from White.
Fair point - he couldn’t even get playing time over Ronald Jones.Anything is possible I suppose but Gio has 30 touches in the last 2 years, none this yearDo not like this Bucs activated RB Gio Bernard from injured reserve.

At least White is a really good pass catcher though, so it’s not like he’ll be needed to be taken off the field.I still see White as the bell cow I just would prefer a guy who could steal some passing chances not be activated this week.

Good point there. Might be a very run heavy/short pass type of game.Lousy weather.
No one is saying Bernard is getting majority of the touches. He just could siphon off of few pass catching downs. Settle down people.Anything is possible I suppose but Gio has 30 touches in the last 2 years, none this yearDo not like this Bucs activated RB Gio Bernard from injured reserve.

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.
Some of you guys could eff up a wet dreamIf 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.
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.People act like NFL teams are going into gameday with one RB in uniform or something.
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.I don’t think that’s the concern - rather that Bowles is one of those coaches that has traditionally leaned on his veterans.

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.Any predictions for this kid?
Trying to decide between him and Pachecho in my flex.
If it's PPR, Pacheco doesn't catch passes, White does.Any predictions for this kid?

Sure seemed like it.They lost because they got away from him imo
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.really curious game calling given his early success
Maybe in PPR. Not so much in standard scoring leaguesIf he's getting regular carries, and Tom Brady sees James White when he looks at him, he's startable every week
100% If Tampa had run the ball on the Browns crap run D they would have wonThey lost because they got away from him imo
really curious game calling given his early success
Seems like that neither RB will be worth playing nowJust good enough to ruin this backfield fantasy wise
Mattered for my fantasy team.Bucs lost
Doesn't matter what he did

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 timeshareIf 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.
Was that the fumble in the 1st half? When it was punched out? I didn't see 2nd half --The the fact that they put White in for the game winning TD, particularly after the fumble, speaks volumes about the team’s confidence in him. But his upside is certainly going to be capped by Lenny, especially in those two minute drills as mentioned in the blurb above.

Hadn’t heard anything along those lines, but with the state of the OL, I think Brady and team brass still trust Fournette more in a lot of situations. Plus White putting the ball on the ground isn’t helping him.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?
Have heard nothing of that, but if true, that could be one of those things that sounds a lot more meaningful than it actually is. Fantasy managers might hear that as Brady saying "This guy sucks! Get him out of here, bring in Rachaad, he's the more capable back." But if you assume it was a situational call, it's a pretty mundane thing. Maybe not normal for a QB to make that call, but this is Brady.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"
