Rachaad White leads all running backs in RecYOE (+155), YACOE (+138) and RecOE (+3.7) this season

Productive again with high volume

White rushed 25 times for 102 yards and secured both targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 29-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

Analysis: White put together another strong fantasy day with a hefty workload, hitting the 100-yard mark for the second time in the last three games. The second-year back also did damage as a pass catcher once again, taking one of his two catches for a weaving 31-yard touchdown in the latter portion of the third quarter. White continues to be far and away the leader of the Buccaneers backfield, logging 20 or more carries in four of the last six contests while recording a touchdown through either the run…read more

Tops 100 scrimmage yards again

White carried the ball 20 times for 84 yards and a touchdown and caught three of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers.

Analysis: The second-year back's resurgence continued with a one-yard TD plunge in the first quarter. White has five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) over the last five games while also racking up 491 scrimmage yards, including back-to-back contests in triple digits. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 14 against a Falcons defense he hit up for 99 combined yards in their Week 7 meeting.

First 100-yard game of '23 in loss

White (knee) rushed 15 times for 100 yards and secured both targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Analysis: White finally found some consistent running room after coming into the game with an average of 3.3 yards per carry, with a game-long 38-yard run helping boost up his tally considerably. The second-year back was less involved in the passing game than usual -- his receiving yardage total tied a season low -- but White more than made up for it with his work on the ground. Next on the docket for White and the Bucs are the Panthers in a Week 13 divisional home matchup.

Playing in Week 12

White (knee) is active for Sunday's game in Indianapolis, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Analysis: The Buccaneers tacked on White to their practice report Saturday due to a knee injury, which left him questionable for Week 12 action. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that while White's knee locked up on him for a brief spell at Friday's practice, the running back was expected to play Sunday. Indeed, that has come to fruition, and White now will be taking on a Colts defense that has given up the fifth-most touchdowns (12) to opposing running backs in 10 games this season.

Likely to suit up Sunday

White (knee) is expected to play Sunday against Indianapolis, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: White was a late addition to the injury report Saturday due to a knee issue and was deemed questionable for the Week 12 clash versus the Colts. It appears that he'll be able to play in the contest, though it's possible that he could take on a lighter workload than usual depending on the severity of the injury. White has hovered around the 80-percent offensive snap count throughout the campaign, which has made the Bucs' backs behind him on the depth chart unplayable in fantasy. If White does end…read more

Listed as questionable for Sunday

White has been added to the Buccaneers' injury report and is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts with a knee injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: White wasn't on the team's initial injury report, so it's possible that his knee issue flared up in practice Friday. Fortunately for those considering the running back in Week 12 fantasy lineups, the Buccaneers kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, but if White is limited or out, Chase Edmonds, Sean Tucker and Ke'Shawn Vaughn would be candidates to log added backfield touches.

Scores for third straight game

White carried the ball nine times for 30 yards and a touchdown and caught six of seven targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the 49ers.

Analysis: The second-year running back was held to his lowest yardage total from scrimmage since Week 6, but White salvaged his day with a one-yard TD plunge early in the fourth quarter. He's found the end zone in three straight games, scoring three rushing TDs and a receiving TD over that stretch, and White could keep rolling in Week 12 against a Colts defense that allowed 12 total touchdowns to RBs in 10 games prior to its bye.

Scores receiving TD in win

White rushed 20 times for 51 yards and brought in two of three targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Analysis: White drew his typical workhorse role on the ground, and as customary, he found running room at a premium. However, the second-year back salvaged his fantasy day with a nifty 43-yard touchdown reception off a screen pass just past the midway point of the second quarter where he weaved his way to the end zone down the left side of the field. White now has back-to-back 20-carry tallies heading into a tough Week 11 road battle against the 49ers.

Pair of touchdowns in Week 9 loss

White rushed 20 times for 73 yards and two touchdowns and brought in all four targets for 46 yards in the Buccaneers' 39-37 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Analysis: White once again took on a hefty workload on the ground and complemented it with a solid allotment of work as a pass catcher, leading to arguably his best all-around performance of the season. The two rushing scores put White over the top fantasy-wise, with the second-year pro finding the end zone on a pair of one-yard runs in the second and fourth quarters. White's secure lead-back role and locked-in receiving volume gives him plenty of appeal at home against the Titans in Week 10.

Strong all-around numbers Thursday

White rushed nine times for 39 yards and brought in all seven targets for 70 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-18 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.

Analysis: White had limited opportunities on the ground due to game script, although his 4.3 yards per carry tied his season high from Week 2, when he posted a 17-carry, 73-yard effort versus the Bears. Where the versatile second-year back really shined Thursday was as a receiver, with his catch and yardage totals both leading the Buccaneers on the night. Both numbers were also season-high figures, and White now boasts a 13-135 receiving line on an unblemished catch rate over the last two contests…read more

Works well as pass catcher

White rushed the ball 13 times for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Falcons. He added six receptions on six targets for 65 yards.

Analysis: Despite being shut down on the ground, this was primarily a positive performance for White. After slipping into an apparent timeshare with Ke'Shawn Vaughn in the last two weeks, he accounted for 13 rushing attempts as opposed to only four for Vaughn. In addition, White was excellent catching passes out of the backfield, highlighted by a 22-yard gain midway through the second quarter. White is tough to trust given that he's topped 50 rushing yards only twice in six games this season, but he has…read more

Held to 38 total yards

White rushed the ball seven times for 26 yards in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Buccaneers. He added three receptions on four targets for 12 yards.

Analysis: White got the first chance to lead Tampa Bay's backfield, but after picking up only nine yards on his first three carries, the team began to split work between him and Ke'Shawn Vaughn. While that's concerning for White moving forward, he was far more efficient than Vaughn both on the ground and as a pass catcher. That may mean that he hangs onto the lead-back role, but White now has fewer than 50 rushing yards in three of five games this season and has only one total touchdown.

Solid all-around day in win

White rushed 15 times for 56 yards and secured all three targets for 22 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-9 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Analysis: White put together a trademark two-way performance, turning in a workman-like effort on the ground while making his usual complementary contributions as a receiver. The second-year back has no fewer than 14 carries or two catches in any of his first four games, and even though backfield mate Ke'Shawn Vaughn saw nine carries Sunday, there's no questioning White's role as the Bucs' lead back heading into the team's Week 5 bye.

Inefficient night in Week 3 loss

White rushed 14 times for 38 yards and secured all three targets for 24 yards in the Buccaneers' 25-11 loss to the Eagles on Monday night. He also lost a fumble and was tackled for a safety.

Analysis: White was stymied repeatedly on the ground by an Eagles defense that came in allowing the fewest rushing yards per game, and he was only able to partly make up for it with his work as a receiver. The second-year back has now averaged under 3.0 yards per carry in two of his first three games while running behind a makeshift offensive line, and White's outlook doesn't get much brighter Week 4 with the Saints defense on tap in what projects to be a difficult road matchup.

Strong all-around numbers in win

White rushed 17 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and brought in all five targets for 30 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-17 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Analysis: White once again served as the clear leader of the ground attack, and he made up for an inefficient opener with solid per-touch efficiency as well as with his first touchdown of the season on a four-yard run early in the second quarter. White's volume as both runner and receiver Sunday is likely close to ideal for the Buccaneers' purposes, although the second-year back certainly has the ability to shoulder a 20-plus-carry workload if necessary. White next sets his sights on a tough Eagles…read more

Inefficient with big volume in win

White rushed 17 times for 39 yards and brought in both targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Analysis: As expected, White handled a true lead-back role to kick off his second season, but the matchup proved anything but favorable. A Vikings defense that already looks more aggressive under new coordinator Brian Flores repeatedly stifled White on the ground, limiting him to a miserable 2.3 yards per carry and a long run of six yards. Nevertheless, the touch volume was certainly encouraging, and White could encounter a more palatable scenario against the Bears during a Week 2 early afternoon home…read more

Ends preseason on high note

White took seven carries for 39 yards and caught his only target for two yards in Saturday's 26-20 preseason win over Baltimore.

Analysis: White got the start and played every snap on the two drives Baker Mayfield and Chris Godwin played. The second-year RB stayed on the field after those two and took a bunch of carries on the next drive with a mixed unit of starters and backups, eventually finishing his night with 41 yards on eight touches. While it remains unclear how things will shake out behind him, there's no doubt White will open the season as the lead back when the Bucs travel to Minnesota in Week 1.

Not playing Friday

White isn't expected to play in Friday's preseason game versus the Steelers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis: White is the lone Buccaneers running back not suiting up for their preseason opener, which will allow Chase Edmonds, Ke'Shawn Vaughn, Sean Tucker, Patrick Laird and Ronnie Brown to man the backfield. After racking up 121 touches for 519 yards from scrimmage and two receiving TDs in the final eight regular-season games of 2022, White is slated to be Tampa Bay's lead runner in the coming campaign.

Has three-down upside

Offensive coordinator Dave Canales expects White to be "fantastic" and recently told reporters the running back is "so natural" and has a well-rounded skillset, Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com reports.

Analysis: It's an optimistic outlook given that White's rookie season was a mixed bag, in which he played all 17 games (eight starts) and caught 50 of 58 targets (86.2 percent) but averaged only 5.8 yards per reception and 3.7 yards per carry (129/481/1 rushing line). On the other hand, Canales seemingly isn't the only one in the organization with this level of optimism, considering the Bucs didn't draft a running back and brought in only Chase Edmonds and Patrick Laird as veteran additions. Both are…read more

Lofty goals for '23

White, who's primed to serve as the Buccaneers' lead back this coming season, has set a goal of becoming the team's first 1,000-yard rusher since Doug Martin in 2015, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: White made his proclamation during an appearance on NFL Network's Good Morning Football on Friday, acknowledging the amount of seasons it's been since the team had a runner reach the 1,000-yard mark and adding, "I want to, of course, eclipse that." White was on the field for just 39 percent of the Buccaneers' offensive snaps as a rookie in 2022, but with Leonard Fournette now off the roster following his March release, the path to primary early down duties is clear. Also expected to work in…read more

Poised to lead backfield

As the Buccaneers' offseason program commences this week, White profiles as the team's No. 1 running back, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

Analysis: With last season's top rusher Leonard Fournette no longer with the team, White appears poised to see an expanded role this coming season in a Tampa Bay backfield that also includes Ke'Shawn Vaughn, Chase Edmonds and Patrick Laird. It's possible that the Bucs could add RB depth in the upcoming NFL Draft, but as things stand, White, who has drawn the praise of GM Jason Licht this offseason, appears to be in a position have an opportunity to secure a lead role, a context that would yield increased…read more

Garners 77 total yards in loss

White rushed seven times for 41 yards and secured four of six targets for 36 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night.

Analysis: White logged two more carries than veteran backfield mate Leonard Fournette and was considerably more productive, averaging 5.9 yards per carry to his teammate's 2.2 figure. White also continued to demonstrate his value as a pass catcher after finishing the regular season with 50 receptions for 290 yards and two touchdowns alongside 481 rushing yards and a score on 129 carries through 17 games. Looking ahead to 2023, White could take on a clear lead-back role, although with Fournette holding a…read more

Four carries in finale

White rushed four times for 15 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Analysis: White was one of several Buccaneers offensive starters who put in less than a full workday in a game that was nothing more than a postseason tune-up for Tampa Bay. The rookie should enjoy a solid role in next weekend's home wild-card matchup after logging double-digit carries and receptions in three of the four games prior to Sunday's finale.

Logs 16 total touches in win

White carried 11 times for 22 yards and brought in all five targets for 26 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Analysis: White was stymied on the ground but was able to make some solid contributions through the air. The rookie's touch count outpaced Leonard Fournette's by two, although as past weeks have shown, that can change from game to game. It remains to be seen what White's Week 18 workload against the Falcons will be, as whether the Buccaneers can improve playoff positioning with a victory will likely be a major factor.

Garners 53 total yards in win

White rushed seven times for 36 yards and brought in all four targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 19-16 overtime win over the Cardinals on Sunday night.

Analysis: White played a clear second fiddle to backfield mate Leonard Fournette, who recorded 29 total touches to the rookie's 11. White still found a way to make a critical contribution, however, as his three-yard touchdown reception on third down with just over eight minutes remaining in regulation began the Buccaneers' comeback in earnest. White should continue to enjoy a solid complementary role at minimum in a pivotal Week 17 home clash against the Panthers, though how it will compare to…read more

Struggles in start

White rushed 11 times for 38 yards and caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 34-23 loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: It was a tough draw on paper for White and the Buccaneers' rushing attack, and the matchup lived up to the billing. White technically started the contest, but he saw a near-even split in touches with Leonard Fournette (12 to 14). The third-round pick from this year's draft has performed adequately since taking on a larger role to help the struggling Fournette, but neither back can truly thrive while the other cannibalizes carries. Both White and Fournette should be considered fringe fantasy…read more

Leading rusher in loss

White carried the ball 13 times for 56 yards and caught all five of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the 49ers.

Analysis: It was a tough day overall for the Buccaneers offense, but White still led the club in rushing yards and yards from scrimmage while seeing 18 touches to Leonard Fournette's 10. Fournette dealt with a foot injury during the week that may have limited his workload, but a backfield timeshare won't do much for either RB's fantasy upside Week 15 against a Bengals defense that just held Nick Chubb to 34 rushing yards on 14 carries.

Game-winning TD in comeback win

White rushed nine times for 28 yards and secured six of eight targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

Analysis: White and the returning Leonard Fournette split the work nearly evenly on the ground, with the latter logging one additional carry. In turn, the rookie drew one more target than his veteran teammate, gained nine more receiving yards on the same number of catches and also recorded the game-winning touchdown on a six-yard grab with three seconds remaining. White's level of involvement with Fournette available is encouraging from a fantasy perspective, but both backs could struggle to provide…read more

More competition for reps

White will welcome back Leonard Fournette (hip) for Monday's game versus the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Analysis: Fournette sat out Week 12 due to a hip pointer, which pushed White into the lead role in the Buccaneers backfield over the team's last two contests. During that span, the rookie racked up 36 carries for 168 yards, nine catches on nine targets for 45 yards and no touchdowns. White will cede some reps to Fournette in his return, but his recent success should keep him in the game plan.

Logs 23 touches in start

White rushed 14 times for 64 yards and secured all nine targets for 45 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Analysis: White drew the start with Leonard Fournette (hip) out of action and delivered nicely as both a runner and receiver. The matchup on the ground wasn't as welcoming as it appeared on paper coming in, however, as White gained only 29 yards on 13 carries outside of a game-long 35-yard run. Nevertheless, the rookie's stellar work as a receiver led to a very productive fantasy day overall, as well as the second-highest reception tally on the Buccaneers for the day. Even if Fournette is able to suit up…read more

Locked in as Week 12 starter

White is scheduled to make his second consecutive start Sunday against the Browns with Leonard Fournette (hip) having been downgraded from doubtful to out in advance of the contest, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis: Even before Fournette departed in the fourth quarter of the Buccaneers' last game Week 10 in London against the Seahawks, White appeared to work his way into a timeshare with the veteran back. The rookie provided a spark to a rushing attack that had languished for most of the season, carrying 22 times for 105 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-16 win. With Fournette not yet healthy coming out of a Week 11 bye, White looks like he'll be the clear lead runner for Tampa Bay on Sunday, with Ke'Shawn…read more

Lead role awaits Week 12

White is expected to serve as Tampa Bay's lead running back Sunday against the Browns with Leonard Fournette (hip) listed as doubtful for the contest, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Analysis: Even if Fournette hadn't exited in the second half of the Buccaneers' last game Week 10 against the Seahawks in Munich due to the hip pointer, White may have pushed his way into at least a timeshare with the veteran back based on how he performed in Germany. White took a career-high 22 carries for 105 yards in the win over Seattle, and he now looks poised to get another chance to see a high-volume role out of the backfield with Fournette unlikely to be available in anything more than a limited…read more

Takes over lead role

White rushed 22 times for 105 yards in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Seahawks.

Analysis: White out-carried Leonard Fournette (hip), 22-14, which was skewed a bit by Fournette's exit in the fourth quarter. However, White got the first carry of the game and was almost exactly even with Fournette in opportunity through the first two quarters. White wasn't all that efficient for much of the game, though he ripped off big gains of 29 and 18 yards to top 100 rushing yards. His usage moving forward will depend on the health of Fournette, but White has clearly gained ground in the Tampa…read more

Totals 59 all-purpose yards in win

White rushed eight times for 27 yards, secured all three targets for seven yards and returned one kickoff for 25 yards in the Buccaneers' 16-13 win over the Rams on Sunday.

Analysis: The rookie logged just one fewer carry than Leonard Fournette, and he also recorded multiple receptions for the fifth time in the last six games. White's rushing yardage total, modest as it was, also qualified as a career high, and the 23-year-old could be given more opportunities in coming weeks as head coach Todd Bowles and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich look for more ways to spice up a mostly moribund offense.

Garners 43 total yards in loss

White rushed four times for 19 yards and brought in all three targets for 24 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Analysis: The rookie once again saw a decent role on offense, and he notably matched backfield mate Leonard Fournette in receptions and targets. However, White actually logged just 15 snaps from scrimmage, a major downturn from the 29 he'd seen four days earlier against the Panthers. White was also stopped cold on a two-point conversion rush attempt after the Buccaneers' final touchdown, although he never had a chance thanks to shoddy blocking in front of him. Fournette appears likely to remain the…read more

Team-high rushing yardage in loss

White rushed six times for 24 yards and brought in one of two targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 21-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 46 yards.

Analysis: White logged two fewer carries than Leonard Fournette but outgained his teammate by five yards. The rookie saw the second-highest snap total of his career as well (29), leaving him just 11 behind Fournette in that category. While his veteran teammate is still in line to continue leading the backfield for the foreseeable future, White has seemingly settled into a complementary role that appears good for 6-10 touches per game.

Modest numbers in Week 6 loss

White rushed four times for 12 yards, brought in three of four targets for 11 yards and returned two kickoffs for 54 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-18 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Analysis: White was even more of a second fiddle to Leonard Fournette than in recent games, with his snap count on offense tumbling down to 15 after he'd been at 23 and 30 in Weeks 4 and 5, respectively. Nevertheless, White still logged only one fewer touch than during his season-high participation rate Week 5, and he seems like an increasingly certain proposition for multiple carries and targets each week after having accomplished that feat in both categories for three consecutive games.

Generates 60 all-purpose yards

White rushed five times for 14 yards and brought in three of four targets for 28 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 18 yards.

Analysis: White was incorporated into the offense to a solid degree, logging 31 snaps from scrimmage overall. The rookie third-round pick has particularly enjoyed a strong role in the passing game over the last pair of contests, posting an 8-78-0 line on nine targets in that span. White will remain behind Leonard Fournette for the time being, but he'll potentially have a chance for a similar workload in a Week 6 road matchup against a Steelers team the Buccaneers shouldn't have too much trouble…read more

Expanded role in loss

White rushed three times for six yards and a touchdown, brought in all five targets for 50 yards, returned two kickoffs for 51 yards and lost a fumble in the Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday night.

Analysis: The rookie logged a season-high 24 snaps (38 percent) from scrimmage and produced plenty with them, scoring his first NFL touchdown from one yard out late in the third quarter and also generating new career highs in receptions and receiving yards. Both Leonard Fournette and White were stymied on the ground, however, and the latter's expanded role in the air attack may have largely been the result of a game script that saw the Buccaneers trail throughout the game. White's fumble on the opening…read more

Only touch comes via special teams

White did not log a carry or target in the Buccaneers' 14-12 loss to the Packers on Sunday but did return one kickoff for 20 yards.

Analysis: White seemingly had the potential to log a few extra touches while spelling Leonard Fournette, who is still dealing with a hamstring injury, but the latter played 91 percent of the offensive snaps Sunday. In contrast, White was in on just six snaps from scrimmage and another 10 on special teams. Head coach Todd Bowles seems content to give Fournette a true lead-back workload thus far, keeping White as a non-factor for fantasy purposes.

Minimal action in Week 2 win

White rushed twice for one yard and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Analysis: The rookie ceded almost all the backfield work to Leonard Fournette, who tallied a robust 24 carries. White played on nine snaps from scrimmage overall and logged another nine on special teams, and he could be in for a similarly modest role for the foreseeable future as long as Fournette is healthy.

Eight touches in pro debut

White rushed six times for 14 yards and brought in both targets for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 19-3 win over the Cowboys on Sunday night.

Analysis: White played a clear complementary role to Leonard Fournette in the rookie's NFL debut, but he was notably the only other running back to log a carry on the night despite veteran Giovani Bernard being active. White got the nod over the back he engaged in a job battle with throughout the summer, Ke'Shawn Vaughn, who was a healthy scratch, but there may be scenarios this season in which both players garner active status. White's next opportunity to showcase his skills comes in a Week 2 divisional…read more

Quiet in preseason finale

White rushed six times for nine yards, secured his only target for three yards and returned one kickoff for 22 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-10 preseason loss to the Colts on Saturday night.

Analysis: White was outplayed by his competition for the No. 2 running back job, Ke'Shawn Vaughn, who netted 36 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. Neither player has an easy task at the moment trying to find running lanes behind an increasingly thin offensive line, as evidenced by White netting minus-7 yards on his first two carries when he entered the game on the Buccaneers' second possession. With each player having their moments this summer, both Vaughn and White could potentially work in an…read more

Solid workload in preseason loss

White rushed six times for 19 yards, secured his only target for 16 yards and returned one kickoff for 33 yards in the Buccaneers' 13-3 preseason loss to the Titans on Saturday night. He also lost a fumble.

Analysis: The rookie was the second back into the game behind Leonard Fournette, and he ended up logging another solid workload after a similarly busy preseason opener. However, his fumble on the Buccaneers' 31-yard line with 5:24 remaining in the first half at the end of his one reception did lead to a Titans field goal. White's competition for the No. 2 running back job, Ke'Shawn Vaughn, recorded a team-high 54 rushing yards on 10 carries, so the job battle appears headed for a final chapter in next…read more

Posts 88 all-purpose yards in debut

White rushed seven times for 32 yards, brought in two of three targets for 13 yards and returned two kickoffs for 43 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-24 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday night.

Analysis: White was the third running back into the game for the Buccaneers behind Giovani Bernard and Ke'Shawn Vaughn, and he outproduced the latter by four yards with three fewer touches from scrimmage. White, a third-round rookie, gave a rock-solid accounting of himself in his first taste of NFL action, even flashing nicely on special teams with a 26-yard kickoff return. White and Vaughn will continue their summer battle for the No. 2 running back job in next Saturday night's preseason road matchup…read more

Impresses in first week of camp

White has stood out over the first week of training camp with his size and sure hands, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: The rookie third-round pick is competing with Ke'Shawn Vaughn for the No. 2 running back job this summer, and thus far, it appears White may have the upper hand. The Arizona State alum's early success as a receiver isn't a surprise by any stretch when considering he contributed a 43-456-1 line through the air across 11 games during his final season with the Sun Devils. Given Tom Brady's extensive track record of successfully utilizing pass-catching running backs, that trait could serve White…read more
