Rachaad White Start or Sit Advice for Week 10

After scoring 15.7 and 14 FPTS in back-to-back games, Rachaad White ($7,600 for Showdown) slowed down vs. the Rams this past Sunday, posting 7.9 FPTS. The back rushed for 28 yards on seven carries and he caught 2-of-3 targets for 41 yards.

This was a challenging matchup, though, as the Rams rank sixth in defensive EPA and this was the first game of the season that both Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett have been active for Los Angeles.

White’s usage was somewhat concerning, as Austin Ekeler ($4,600) played ahead of him for the first time this season. It wasn’t by much, though. Ekeler out-carried White 8-7, but neither back saw a red-zone rush. In the passing game, Ekeler saw two targets on 18 routes while White saw three targets on 13 routes.

While Ekeler out-touched White 10-9, the Commanders lost this game and White was far more productive in the defeat, finishing with 69 scrimmage yards, compared to just 34 for Ekeler. White has been the much better back this season, averaging 4.2 YPC while Ekeler is averaging 3.5 and before this, White out-touched Ekeler 13-8 in Week 9.

All in all, last week felt like an outlier and White should revert back to being the Commanders’ main back this Thursday vs. the Giants. Ekeler will still be involved, but White should lead the way with 12-15 touches and this is a strong matchup, as New York is giving up the sixth-most yards per rush this season (4.7). White should provide double-digit FPTS in this spot and he is a serviceable RB3/FLEX play for season-long leagues.
