Outlook Rachaad White

Changing Teams and Roles Makes This Pass-Catching Specialist a Sneaky Value

Rachaad White enters a new chapter with Washington, currently positioned as a secondary option in a multi-back committee behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt. While he is listed second on the depth chart, his extensive pass-catching experience from his time in Tampa Bay ensures he will maintain a significant third-down role.

Our projections forecast 112 rush attempts for 523 yards and four touchdowns, supplemented by 39 receptions for 267 yards and another score. This shared workload keeps his weekly ceiling in check, but his reliable hands offer a stable floor in PPR formats.

Looking at draft trends, his ADP has steadily risen from 120 to 115 over the past month. At this late-round cost, our models view him as an excellent bench stash and a potential draft-day steal for managers seeking reliable running back depth.

Outlook Bucky Irving

Tampa Bay's Lead Back Looks to Overcome Shoulder Surgery and Outperform Falling ADP

Bucky Irving enters the year positioned as Tampa Bay’s lead running back, sitting atop the depth chart ahead of Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker. After a shortened 2025 campaign where he rushed 173 times across 10 games, our projections view him as a high-volume asset. We project Irving for 219 carries and 39 receptions, cementing his high-floor workload in both the running and passing games.

The primary concern heading into the summer is his recovery from off-season shoulder surgery. While head coach Todd Bowles expects him back during training camp, Irving is ruled out for minicamp. This physical setback introduces some early volatility, but team GM Jason Licht recently highlighted him as a major breakout candidate, signaling deep organizational commitment to his featured role.

Due to these injury concerns, Irving's ADP has steadily slipped from 28 in early May down to 33 in June. In 1.0 PPR formats, this sliding price tag represents a prime buying opportunity. If he returns healthy for training camp as expected, Irving's projected 209.9 fantasy points make him a tremendous draft-day steal at his current market cost.
