RACHAAD WHITE NEWS

Could Bucs' Rachaad White Break Out (Again)? Rachaad White had a solid 2023 season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he could be even better this year.

Scores TD on only drive Friday White rushed four times for 16 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for 17 yards in Friday's 24-14 preseason win over the Dolphins.

Impact White opened the game with three consecutive carries for a combined 12 yards, caught a 17-yard pass two plays later, then scored a four-yard rushing touchdown two plays after that. The starting running back was highly effective in what ended up being the only drive Tampa Bay's starters played all preseason. Despite the offseason addition of Bucky Irving in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, White's set to reprise his role as the top option in the Buccaneers' backfield in the Sept. 8 season opener against the Commanders.

Should play Friday White and other starters are scheduled to play in Friday's preseason game against Miami, Brianna Dix of the Bucs' official website reports.

Impact The starting RB often plays less than other starters, but White figures to at least take a few snaps in the only action Tampa's first-team offense will get this preseason. He's locked in atop the depth chart again, although there's some thought rookie fourth-round pick Bucky Irving will have a bigger role than last year's group of backups ever managed. White led all RBs with 823 snaps in the regular season last year, tying for second in carries (272) and ninth in targets (70) despite averaging just 3.6 yards per carry. His 91.4 percent catch rate led all qualified pass catchers, and 7.8 yards per target was the fourth-best mark among qualified RBs.

Not scheduled to play Saturday White and other veteran starters aren't scheduled to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bengals, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Bucs will play backups and rookies, with Kyle Trask starting at quarterback. White is entering his second year as the team's top running back, this time under new offensive coordinator Liam Coen, who spent the past few years bouncing between the Rams and the University of Kentucky. Backfield competition behind White again looks less than stellar, featuring rookie fourth-round pick Bucky Irving, 28-year-old Chase Edmonds (undisclosed) and 2023 UDFA Sean Tucker. With White and Edmonds presumably not playing Saturday, we could see a lot of Irving and Tucker -- both seemingly candidates for the No. 2 RB job.

More diverse run scheme awaits White stands to be the beneficiary of the revamped running scheme in new offensive coordinator Liam Coen's offense, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.

Impact White already had a fine season in 2023 -- his first as the No. 1 back -- exceeding 1,500 yards from scrimmage and recording nine total touchdowns across 17 regular-season games. He added another 166 total yards and a receiving score in two postseason contests, but this coming season, he'll be deployed in a system that will include a healthy mix of mid-zone, wide-zone, tight-zone, duo and gap runs. The mid-zone concept is one White particularly has familiarity with, having operated within it successfully during his college days at Arizona State. "Mid-zone, outside zone - all that - it creates a bigger palette, and it forces the defense to guard not just a certain perimeter, but it makes them guard the whole field because the defense doesn't know what we are going to do," White said.
