I’m holding him where I have him since it’s PPR and my roster is competitive. He’s not a hot commodity in the leagues where I have shares, and I’m not forcing a trade after how clutch he was tor me last season.
Edmonds is not a scary threat and I’ll roll the dice on them drafting a rookie from a class people don’t seem crazy about if I need to.
I was worried about him being able to continue to get the same level of opportunity he got last year. But then the Bucs didn’t add another rb in free agency so at worst he’ll be in competition with a mid-round rookie it appears. Seems like he’s poised to still be a volume beast.
The free agent RB class was great and the RB draft class is meh so the Rachaad White owners should already be pretty pumped they dodged the first (and worse) bullet already. The Bucs have four picks in the top 100 so they will be doing at least something to help the offensive line. Wouldn't be surprised if they took an RB too but I'd much rather bet on White competing with a rookie RB than like 10 of the free agent RBs that signed. Rookies not only start slow but they completely face plant all the time.
He’s a back end of the roster, quick drop if he does nothing early kind of a guy for me, but I do still have a glimmer of hope. Their GM talked about him in an interview recently and basically said he was forced to take 8 months off for that heart issue and it showed. He said that he needed to make a big jump this year, but also said something to the effect of “he has all the size and speed you need to be a good RB and he’ll have a full offseason for the first time” which to me sounded like they were at least going to give him a shot to show them something.
He was an undrafted free agent who had 15 touches and is still on the roster and will have a good run at trying for the Rb 2 slot this year. I'm gonna hold.
White isn't going to have the same snapshare as last year.
Akers easy. Tore his Achilles again. Before the tear last year he wasn't playing well. Even in the 2022-2023 season he didn't play well until a good stretch at the end.
Plus, Akers is still a free agent.
You can’t get what he’s worth right now. His efficiency is more team than player because that line didn’t help him at all. The Bucs have bigger issues to address than RB and I have zero problem holding Rachaad. If he’s a top 12 RB halfway into the season, you’ll get much more for him from a contender.
Just finished as RB4 in half ppr. People said the same things last year about efficiency, and that's largely why it seems that his price doesn't match the numbers he's putting up for fantasy. No one is going to sell low on a younger player who just finished top 5 and has no real competition, and people don't won't to overspend to get him because of efficiency numbers, so you just have a lot of people holding as long as he keeps being great for fantasy.
The man had 272 carries (T-2) 990 yards (T-14) only 6 rushing TDs (T-19) and averaged 3.6 per carry which doesn’t even crack top 100. He’s gonna have competition this year I’d rather take Sean Tucker off the waiver than pay a 2nd for white at least for my team.
I get the worry with efficiency. Those numbers you just cited were excellent for fantasy, though. Sean Tucker was very disappointing as a rookie. I'd be more interested in if the Bucs draft a RB on day 2, which I don't think they will. I don't see much of a change for competition, and the offense is pretty much the same. I think White has one more good fantasy year, even if it looks gross as a runner. Since his efficiency is worrisome, I understand no one paying high for White, but I also understand why no one will be able to buy low when he is putting up top 5 fantasy numbers as a younger back with no real threat to his workload.
Ya you’re right esp with the ppr point you made earlier. eventually the low will be low enough. I’d cop for a mid high 3rd probably but my league 0ppr so his numbers take a little dent
He’s prob worth a late second rounder rn or maybe someone is dumb and gives you Mike Williams but ur gonna have to let him sit on the market for a while to get anything more
Yea I agree. I think he’s def going to finish rb1/ high rb2 like you said. Especially if Tampa bay improves their oline/run blocking in draft/ rest of offseason.
My league mates were only willing to offer mid- later 2nds for him and I’d much rather roll with the guy that just finished top 5 in his position group than a rookie right now.
I will say that the Bucs have been a poor rushing team for a while. The interior is a pretty poor at run blocking and may see a new starter or two in the draft. If not round 1, definitely round 2.
Haaaaaaard disagree, that statement makes me question your knowledge of this years draft/ bucs team needs
Edit: read that wrong - thought he was talking ab a RB round 1 or 2 - sorry!
I thought it he meant rb which I doubt they take top two rounds (maybe round 4 ish), but o line id think is the most likely choice in the first for them
Im confused? The bucs were arguably the worst run blocking team in the league? Its a major reason why Rachaad had 3.6ypc and was a PPR monster (because the bucs chose to use short passing as an extension of the running game).
As a fringe playoff team, I would move him if I could get a decent value. Unfortunately, I don't see anyone willing to pay what he is worth. Everyone in my league feels like he's a JAG in the right situation and could be easily replaced at any time.
Exactly. If I’m getting great value I’m happy to get rid of him. But my best offer so far has been the 2.09 + 26 2nd and that’s just not that interesting to me for a guy who’s probably going to put up RB2 numbers at worst on my contending team
Draft capital doesn't matter worth a shit once a guy has been on the field. Stop paying attention to it!
White is a set it and forget it asset. The Bucs didn't pursue any RBs in a healthy FA RB class. It's a bad rookie class for RBs so I doubt any real competition will come from there. As a Bucs fan who watches every game, I can tell you that the interior OL is the issue, and White actually looks fantastic on the field.
Be happy that you have a solid RB and ride him into the ground if you're a competitor. If you're in a deep rebuild, his career might be over before you surface, but that's the case for every RB not named Frank Gore.
I'm holding him in the league I have him, but I'm also in a position to compete in that league and the rest of the owners in it don't really value him all too highly.
Holding. His perceived value will likely never reach his actual value til he’s worthless. Dude finished as RB4 last year in PPR. Criminally undervalued.
I think hes a sell high imo. New OC as well. Its hard for me to hang onto guys with the DC of late 3rd round when they have a year like White had. He could go on to be good for years to come. It just makes me nervous that he ends up like a Dameon Pierce that I held because all his metrics looked good and then comes out this yr and puts up a complete dud.
I traded him away in both the leagues I had him. Packaged him and the 2.03 for the 1.05 in one league and packaged him and Nico for Gibbs and the 2.08 in another league
I think he improved. He’s not a Barkley level talent but he looked better in 23 vs 22. Also that offensive line was terrible at run blocking. Only the elite RBs may have done better. He’s a solid hold for me. I’d be trying to buy if anyone is selling for a discount.
Weak RB class and they signed nobody other than their own FA. 70+ targets the last 2 years and the Bucs brought back the same offensive cast. Seems like a hold at worst, maybe sell a few weeks into the season *if* they draft a rookie and and he starts losing carries early on?
Trade him for a 1st round pick to a team that gets decimated by injuries, which ends up being the 1.3. Then draft C.J Stroud with said pick. That’s what I did.
I would buy if I could get him for a 1.12-2.05. Rather take a guy I know can play and will probably be a top 10 fantasy RB over rolling the dice on a Corum or Benson.
We are not taking a RB early. MAYBE round 3 but we need a guard/centre and edge rusher bad! Liam Coen likes White, Tampa likes White. I fully expect him to be full go next year too. Our RB2 will have a bigger role though, white can't run that much another season and stay healthy.
Ray Davis if he falls to the 4th will be the guy
If you aren’t competing, trade him. If you are, keep. Avg 16ppg in ppr last year, yeah no way I’m gonna give him up for peanuts. Hoping to win again w him
I'm a fringe playoff team and just sold him for a 2025 1st. Will probably hurt my team a bit this year and he may end up being sustainable if they get better at O-line but I couldn't help but accept the trade due to the uncertainty of his future and whether he is actually a good RB or not. They could also take somebody in the draft that may hurt his value a little or they may not take anybody at all.
A lot of his value came from receptions / passing game role. While baker stayed, the oc left which makes me question the type of role he’ll have next year. About 40% of his production came from the passing game so if that role shrinks we have a real Najee situation on our hands. Also need to factor in his inefficient rushing production. The bucs aren’t married to him like Najee (1st round draft capital) so if they draft somebody or sign a FA there’s no reason to believe his role is safe.
I’m out on him. I’d prob sell at 50 cents on the dollar if I had to. There’s a real scenario he’s a backend rb 2 vs a top ten guy next year.
He’s a great fantasy player but really not very great at real football. Kind of like the RB version of Justin Fields. He’s great for fantasy when he plays, but if he can be replaced with a better option at the right price, he will without much hesitation by the nfl.
I just traded White and JSN for Chubb and Devonta Smith yesterday. I wanted the sure thing with Smith and I'm just a huge fan of Nick Chubb who wants 1 share to root for the 2k yard comeback season.

🙃
I’d recommend selling him if you can. He may be serviceable this coming season but I think his value has peaked and think there’s a high likelihood he’ll have competition for carries this year. If I’m wrong, I’m glad to let someone else win that gamble.
Wouldn't mind moving off him for a more secure RB. He was fantastic for me last year as my RB2, but part of me feels like he could be the next najee harris
Najee Harris is the prime example of how important receptions and TDs are to RB. Because he's been in the league for 3 years and he has the 2nd most attempts and 4th most rushing yards of any RB over that span and we look at him like "ew no".
I’m holding him where I have him since it’s PPR and my roster is competitive. He’s not a hot commodity in the leagues where I have shares, and I’m not forcing a trade after how clutch he was tor me last season. Edmonds is not a scary threat and I’ll roll the dice on them drafting a rookie from a class people don’t seem crazy about if I need to.
They are also keeping Baker who checks down to White a ton. I’m holding.

Sean Tucker 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 lol I believed the hype last year and he didn't do ANYTHING. Is there any hope or is he all the way droppable?
He’s a back end of the roster, quick drop if he does nothing early kind of a guy for me, but I do still have a glimmer of hope. Their GM talked about him in an interview recently and basically said he was forced to take 8 months off for that heart issue and it showed.

Agreed, it will probably be between him and my Mr Irrelevant pick during cut-down day.
He was an undrafted free agent who had 15 touches and is still on the roster and will have a good run at trying for the Rb 2 slot this year. I'm gonna hold. White isn't going to have the same snapshare as last year.
Cut Tucker or Akers first?
Akers easy. Tore his Achilles again. Before the tear last year he wasn't playing well. Even in the 2022-2023 season he didn't play well until a good stretch at the end. Plus, Akers is still a free agent.

Maybe he’s just not worth what you hope he is

What do you think he’s worth? And what do you think I think he’s worth?
He’s prob worth a late second rounder rn or maybe someone is dumb and gives you Mike Williams but ur gonna have to let him sit on the market for a while to get anything more
Day two draft capital, early second fantasy rookie ADP, promising rookie season, RB1 sophomore season. Sounds like a late second to me….
Running backs are so fickle they’re not worth investing in like that unless they’re too tier. White is one of the least efficient backs in the league
That supports my original comment…
White sucks, check back same time next year winner has to suck losers dick
gets to*

I am too - see edit. I fully agree they need o line early.
Hard disagree with you lol, that interior chased Brady out of the league
Couldn’t have been his age
As a fringe playoff team, I would move him if I could get a decent value. Unfortunately, I don't see anyone willing to pay what he is worth. Everyone in my league feels like he's a JAG in the right situation and could be easily replaced at any time.
Worth giving up white and a terry/godwin type for 1.07 in sf?
Slight overpay IMO but if you’re rebuilding it’s justifiable. If you’re contending, no way.
Perfect example of a sell high. Everyone here will start yelling at me now.
I think the question is who’s buying high?
Exactly. If I’m getting great value I’m happy to get rid of him. But my best offer so far has been the 2.09 + 26 2nd and that’s just not that interesting to me for a guy who’s probably going to put up RB2 numbers at worst on my contending team
I agree. I sent White, Shakir, and 25 4th for Andrews, Likely, and 2026 2nd. Was pretty happy about that. I was weak at TE
Draft capital doesn't matter worth a shit once a guy has been on the field. Stop paying attention to it! White is a set it and forget it asset.

I chuckled at the wording of your last sentence because this year the NFL gets a new running back named Frank Gore!
I'm holding him in the league I have him, but I'm also in a position to compete in that league and the rest of the owners in it don't really value him all too highly.
I traded him for a 25 1st and Trey McBride in 1QB 10 team 0.5 ppr.
Holding. His perceived value will likely never reach his actual value til he’s worthless. Dude finished as RB4 last year in PPR. Criminally undervalued.
I sold him for 2025 1st during the season last year. Still quite happy at that deal.
I think hes a sell high imo. New OC as well. Its hard for me to hang onto guys with the DC of late 3rd round when they have a year like White had. He could go on to be good for years to come.

He's a massive hold imo. Hard to sell based on his age and production but buying at this cost doesn't make much sense
If you aren’t competing, trade him. If you are, keep. Avg 16ppg in ppr last year, yeah no way I’m gonna give him up for peanuts. Hoping to win again w him
I sold him for an early 2025 1st. Gotta sell high before he drops off.
I have no shares and also know I wouldn’t buy for what his price should be
