Rachaad White Fantasy Week 2 Start or Sit: Keep Him Rostered, Not Started

Seven carries for 22 yards against the Eagles surprised exactly nobody, and White lands 37th among running backs in PFN’s Week 2 rankings. My Week 1 sleeper call assumed negative game script would hand him the passing downs, and instead Washington split those routes down the middle.

Rachaad White Fantasy Week 2 Start or Sit: Keep Him Rostered, Not Started

In Week 2, Rachaad White's performance as a running back for the Washington football team left much to be desired, ranking 37th among all running backs in PFN's rankings. Despite seven carries resulting in just 22 yards, White remains a valuable roster option according to the author. The Week 1 sleeper call posited that negative game script would grant White the passing downs, yet Washington split those routes down the middle.

While White's ground game underperformed, the author argues that his value extends beyond traditional running back skills. However, the author cautions that more data is needed before fully committing to White's pass game potential. For now, the author recommends keeping White rostered as an emergency option, while remaining open to cutting him if no clear signs of his pass game exploitation emerge.
