Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they think about this latest injury to Rachaad White (foot).
Despite missing starting running back Rachaad White ($5,700), the Buccaneers had no problem gashing the Saints‘ defense last week. Tampa Bay picked up 277 yards on the ground, thanks in large part to the duo of Bucky Irving ($5,900) and Sean Tucker ($4,000). Now, with White expected to return from injury against the Ravens, the most dreaded words in fantasy football could be upon us: backfield committee.
Is there any Bucs back you can feel good about starting? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) tried to make sense of this messy backfield on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Tampa Bay has already said they will ride the hot hand at running back. It’s almost impossible to trust any of the three backs this week.
- Most of Tucker’s 192 yards from scrimmage against New Orleans came in garbage time during the 4th quarter.
- Steve thinks White’s injury could be a blessing in disguise. A matchup with Baltimore’s league-best run defense (59.0 rush yards allowed) will be tough regardless of his health.
