  • Makes impact as receiver

    White rushed 10 times for 31 yards and brought in six of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: White logged three fewer carries and 42 fewer yards than backfield mate Bucky Irving, but he set the pace in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets. White also recorded his career-high fourth receiving touchdown of the season with a nine-yard scoring grab early in the third quarter, and he'll face a Giants defense that just allowed 153 rushing yards to the Panthers' Chuba Hubbard in Week 12 following Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye.

  • Scores TD on six touches

    White rushed three times for 19 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

    Analysis: White scored his long overdue first rushing touchdown of the campaign on a seven-yard run early in the second quarter, but he was held to a season-low six touches despite the Buccaneers being down Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring). Rookie backfield mate Bucky Irving logged four more carries and the same amount of catches as White, but the workload in the Buccaneers backfield has been somewhat unpredictable from game to game. Evans will remain out…read more

  • Records receiving TD in loss

    White rushed six times for 29 yards and secured five of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: White's day started off in less than ideal fashion when he fumbled on the second play from scrimmage, but the third-year back bounced back with a serviceable all-around day salvaged by his third receiving touchdown of the campaign. White found the end zone from 18 yards out early in the second quarter and tied his second-highest catch total of the season, but he notably saw three fewer carries than backfield mate Bucky Irving. The Buccaneers' backfield figures to continue being difficult to…read more

  • Pair of receiving TDs in loss

    White rushed 10 times for 40 yards and secured all six targets for 71 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Ravens on Monday.

    Analysis: White finished the game as the leader in carries among the Buccaneers' three-pronged ground attack in his return from a one-game absence, but he made his biggest mark by far as a receiver. With Mike Evans exiting the game in the first half with a hamstring injury, White became one of Baker Mayfield's top targets. The versatile back also found the end zone for the first time this season on an 11-yard grab early in the fourth quarter, and he added a second score from 23 yards out with just under…read more

  • Back in action Monday

    White (foot) is listed as active Monday against the Ravens.

    Analysis: While sitting out Week 6 due to a foot issue, White yielded the Buccaneers backfield to Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker, who combined for 219 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries, plus five catches on five targets for 80 yards and one more TD. Both Irving and Tucker eclipsed the century mark on the ground, with the former starting and handling a 64 percent snap share and the latter getting a 38 percent share.

  • Listed as questionable for Monday

    White (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: White did upgrade to a full participant in Saturday's practice, which is usually a positive indication for one's likelihood to play. White's availability also impacts the duo of Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker, who broke out in a big way in the dominant win over the Saints last week. Head coach Todd Bowles relayed earlier this week that when all three backs are healthy, he anticipates the team will roll with the "hot hand," an ambiguous statement that could be a frustrating one for fantasy…read more

  • Limited in practice again

    White (foot) was a limited practice participant Friday.

    Analysis: White also was limited Thursday, after missing the final two practices of last week and being inactive for a 51-27 win over the Saints. It sounds like offensive coordinator Liam Coen expects White to play Monday against the Ravens, as Coen said Friday that White, Sean Tucker and Bucky Irving each will get a series early in the game, per Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site. Head coach Todd Bowles made similar comments Thursday, discussing a three-man backfield with a "hot hand"…read more

  • Limited Thursday

    White (foot) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

    Analysis: White is kicking off Week 7 prep the same way he did last week, but he also didn't practice last Thursday and Friday before being listed as doubtful and eventually inactive this past Sunday at New Orleans. In White's place, Bucky Irving (64 percent of snaps) and Sean Tucker (38 percent) manned the Buccaneers backfield, and both players had highly productive performances. Irving racked up 16 touches for 105 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD, while Tucker had 17 touches for 192 total yards…read more

  • Sitting out Sunday

    White (foot) is listed as inactive Sunday at New Orleans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Following up a limited practice Wednesday with no activity the next two days typically isn't a great sign for upcoming availability, and White's designation of doubtful for Week 6 indicated as much as he tends to a foot injury. Now that he's officially out for Sunday's game, he'll hand off the Buccaneers backfield to rookie fourth-round pick Bucky Irving for at least one contest. White's next chance for game action arrives Monday, Oct. 21 against the Ravens.

  • Listed as doubtful

    White (foot) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Saints, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Coach Todd Bowles referred to White as a game-time decision earlier Friday, and while that usually corresponds with a questionable designation, it turns out the running back is considered highly unlikely to play. Backfield mate Bucky Irving is set up for the largest workload of his young career, assuming the Bucs declare White inactive ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Game-time decision

    Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that White (foot) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Saints, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: White was a limited participant Wednesday and didn't practice Thursday. An absence this Sunday likely would lead to Bucky Irving handling his biggest role yet, after the two running backs split work pretty evenly the past three weeks. Tampa Bay and New Orleans are scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    White (foot) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: White endured a downgrade from Wednesday's limited session as he tends to a foot issue, which could indicate a few things. The Buccaneers could be taking a cautious approach with the issue, but, on the other hand, he may have suffered a setback. White thus will have one more chance to prove his health before the team potentially makes a call on his availability ahead of Sunday's contest at New Orleans.

  • Dealing with foot issue

    White was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury.

    Analysis: White has yet to reach the end zone through five games this season, but he's at least been more efficient on the ground the last two contests, averaging 6.0 yards on his 20 carries. Rookie fourth-round pick Bucky Irving has been nearly as crisp all season, with 5.6 YPC and a touchdown on his 44 rushes. Now that White has made an appearance on the Buccaneers' first Week 6 practice report, his status will need to be watched as the week continues to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday at New…read more

  • Season-best effort in loss

    White rushed 10 times for 72 yards and secured all three targets for minus-6 yards in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

    Analysis: White notably logged one more carry and target apiece than surging rookie backfield mate Bucky Irving, who also had a costly fourth-quarter fumble. White also posted a season-best rushing yardage total by a wide margin, and after averaging a minuscule 2.1 yards per carry over the first three games of the season, the Arizona State product has bounced back to compile 121 rushing yards on 20 carries over the subsequent pair of contests. The third-year back has yet to find the end zone as either…read more

  • Most efficient rushing effort yet

    White rushed 10 times for 49 yards and brought in two of three targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: White enjoyed his most efficient rushing day of the season by far, matching Bucky Irving in both carries and rushing yards on the afternoon. White also was the most productive of the two via the air, and his yardage total in that department was his second highest through four games. Given Irving has outpaced White in carries by a 19-16 margin over the last two games, it remains to be seen who might be the leader of the ground attack in a Week 5 road matchup against the Falcons on Thursday night.

  • Suiting up in Week 4

    White (illness) is active for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: White was a late addition to the injury report Saturday due to a bout of food poisoning, but his availability for Sunday's conference showdown hadn't truly been in doubt. With his active status now confirmed, White will look to significantly improve the 2.1 yards per carry he's mustered over the first three games of the season, which has paled in comparison to the 6.2 yards per tote rookie backfield mate Bucky Irving has generated. However, despite the disparity between the efficiency of the…read more

    White was added to the injury report for Sunday's game against the Eagles with an illness and is now questionable for the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Buccaneers didn't elevate an additional running back from the practice squad, which would be consequential considering rookie running back Bucky Irving is also questionable with a hamstring injury. Expect more information regarding both backs' status to come well before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

  • Continues to lose ground in loss

    White rushed six times for 17 yards and brought in five of six targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    Analysis: White posted another highly inefficient rushing line, his third in as many games with under 2.9 yards per carry. While he was a frequent outlet target for Baker Mayfield due to the relentless pressure he suffered at the hands of the Broncos defense, White barely got anything going through the air. White also was outperformed and outpaced in touches by backfield mate Bucky Irving by a wide margin -- the rookie gained 70 yards on his nine carries and added a 3-14-0 line through the air -- perhaps…read more

    White (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The signs have been consistently positive ever since White briefly left last Sunday's win over the Lions to be evaluated for a groin injury. He rejoined the game and finished with a 71 percent snap share, and he then managed limited practices Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation at the end of the week. White thus appears in line for his usual role this Sunday, although it's possible the Bucs ease up on him a bit given that rookie backup Bucky Irving has looked pretty…read more

    Analysis: White returned to last week's win over Detroit after injuring his groin in the first half, ultimately play 71 percent of Tampa Bay's snaps on offense. He then managed limited practice participation Wednesday and Thursday, suggesting he's on track to play this Sunday against the Broncos. It's nonetheless possible White gets a designation on Tampa's final injury report Friday afternoon.

    White (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: White played through a groin injury this past Sunday in Detroit that has resulted in back-to-back capped sessions to kick off Week 3 prep. There's been no indication that he may be in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Broncos, and the Buccaneers could provide clarity on his situation as soon as the release of Friday's practice report. Through two contests this season, White has 32 touches to backup Bucky Irving's 18, though the former is averaging just a shade under 2.0 yards per…read more

On Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported that White's health concern wasn't considered to be major, and his ensuing activity level Wednesday indicates the Buccaneers are taking a cautious approach with their starting running back.

  • Has minor groin injury

    White sustained a groin injury during Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions, but the issue is not considered major, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: White was effectively contained by Detroit on Sunday, rushing just 10 times for 18 yards while securing his only target for five yards. He picked up the groin issue in the first half and was briefly forced off the field, but the starting running back managed to return without missing much time. White's injury doesn't currently seem likely to impact his availability versus the Broncos in Week 3, but he's averaging a paltry 2.0 YPC through two games to begin the 2024 season.

    White rushed 10 times for 18 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: White exited in the first half due to a groin injury but promptly returned, though it's possible the injury contributed to his inability to find any running room against Detroit's stout front seven. He's off to a painfully slow start on the ground, averaging fewer than 2.0 YPC through two games, with only 49 yards on 25 carries. A Week 3 home game against the Broncos could be just what White needs to get back on track, assuming he's healthy enough to suit up.

  • Eclipses century mark in yards

    White rushed 15 times for 31 yards and corralled all six of his targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.

    Analysis: White dominated the backfield touches but struggled with his production as a runner. However, he shined as a receiver to crack the century mark in total yards for fantasy managers Sunday. Fourth-round rookie Bucky Irving performed well behind White, but it would take several superior performances for the depth chart to be changed so early in the season. Tampa Bay's offense looked strong as a whole in its home opener, and White looks to remain the lead tailback heading into a Week 2 matchup…read more

  • Scores TD on only drive Friday

    White rushed four times for 16 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for 17 yards in Friday's 24-14 preseason win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: White opened the game with three consecutive carries for a combined 12 yards, caught a 17-yard pass two plays later, then scored a four-yard rushing touchdown two plays after that. The starting running back was highly effective in what ended up being the only drive Tampa Bay's starters played all preseason.

    White and other starters are scheduled to play in Friday's preseason game against Miami, Brianna Dix of the Bucs' official website reports.

    Analysis: The starting RB often plays less than other starters, but White figures to at least take a few snaps in the only action Tampa's first-team offense will get this preseason. He's locked in atop the depth chart again, although there's some thought rookie fourth-round pick Bucky Irving will have a bigger role than last year's group of backups ever managed. White led all RBs with 823 snaps in the regular season last year, tying for second in carries (272) and ninth in targets (70) despite averaging…read more

    White and other veteran starters aren't scheduled to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bengals, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Bucs will play backups and rookies, with Kyle Trask starting at quarterback. White is entering his second year as the team's top running back, this time under new offensive coordinator Liam Coen, who spent the past few years bouncing between the Rams and the University of Kentucky. Backfield competition behind White again looks less than stellar, featuring rookie fourth-round pick Bucky Irving, 28-year-old Chase Edmonds (undisclosed) and 2023 UDFA Sean Tucker.

  • More diverse run scheme awaits

    White stands to be the beneficiary of the revamped running scheme in new offensive coordinator Liam Coen's offense, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: White already had a fine season in 2023 -- his first as the No. 1 back -- reaching 1,539 yards from scrimmage and recording nine total touchdowns across 17 regular-season games. He added another 166 total yards and a receiving score in two postseason contests, but this coming season, he'll be deployed in a system that will include a healthy mix of mid-zone, wide-zone, tight-zone, duo and gap runs.

  • Opportunity curtailed in loss

    White rushed nine times for 55 yards and secured four of five targets for 36 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-23 divisional-round loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: White opened the game with a solid dose of rush attempts, but the Buccaneers were forced to increasingly turn to the air when their deficit grew in the second half. The versatile back still enjoyed his usual role as a receiver, but his 13 total touches were his lowest since the Week 6 game against these same Lions.

    Analysis: White handled his usual robust workload on the ground in the playoff win, helping set a positive early tone for Tampa Bay with runs of eight, four and seven yards on the Buccaneers' opening drive. White's longest run was just 12 yards, so he generally was able to advance the ball for modest but meaningful distances consistently.

  • Solid close to second season

    White rushed 19 times for 75 yards and brought in all four targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: White filled his usual voluminous lead-back role with success, clearing the 70-yard mark on the ground for the fifth time in the last seven games. White also finished the regular season with at least four catches in three straight contests, and the 2022 third-round pick finished just 15 rushing yards short of the 1,000-yard mark.

  • Mostly contained in loss

    White rushed 11 times for 42 yards and brought in all four targets for 24 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-13 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: With the Saints surprisingly taking a 20-0 lead through three quarters, White was increasingly neutralized in terms of his opportunities in the ground game. He had a serviceable day through the air, but his receiving yardage total was nothing remarkable. White has been well under 50 rushing yards in consecutive contests, but he should have a chance to reverse that trend in a Week 18 road matchup against the Panthers' suspect run defense.

  • Productive despite inefficiency

    White rushed 20 times for 39 yards and a touchdown and brought in six of seven targets for 38 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Analysis: White had a drastically inefficient day on the ground, especially compared to the 4.6 yards per carry he'd averaged over the previous four contests. The standout back still found a way to be productive, however, scoring his sixth rushing touchdown of the campaign on a two-yard run early in the third quarter. He also continued to make his usual contributions through the air, tying his second-highest reception tally of the campaign. White has either a rushing or receiving touchdown in three…read more

    White rushed 21 times for 89 yards and brought in both his targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: White filled his usual workhorse role in the ground attack, with Chase Edmonds the only other running back to log any carries (three). The second-year back also did his usual damage as a receiver, recording a 26-yard touchdown reception to cap off the Buccaneers' first drive of the second half. The receiving touchdown was White's third of the season and his second in as many games.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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's touch count outpaced Leonard Fournette's by two, although as past weeks have shown, that can change from game to game.

White technically started the contest, but he saw a near-even split in touches with Leonard Fournette (12 to 14).

    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.

  • 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

  • Could make sizable rookie impact

    White's versatile skill set could allow him to enjoy a sizable role during his rookie season, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. "He's a good talent, that's why we drafted him," Bucs coach Todd Bowles said. "Leonard is our starter, obviously. We look for White to compete with Vaughn and Gio and we'll see from there. ... He has good size. He has good feet and good speed. But he's capable of spelling Leonard, he's capable of catching a ball."

    Analysis: The investment of a third-round pick in White already speaks to the belief the Buccaneers have in his ability, and both the Arizona State product's college body of work and Bowles' comments indicate there could be plenty of opportunity for him behind lead back Leonard Fournette. With Ronald Jones now in Kansas City and Giovani Bernard primarily suited for a pass-catching/third-down role, White's primary competition for any complementary early-down reps appears to be Ke'Shawn Vaughn, who's yet…read more
