He added two receiving yards on one catch. The Bucs may need to throw more next week against the Eagles, and may use White a lot more as a receiver if Mike Evans is forced to miss time with an injury. For that reason, White can be held in deeper leagues until we know the extent of Evans’ injury.

White played sparingly in the first half behind unquestioned starter Bucky Irving, but it was White that sealed the win at the end of a two-minute drive from two yards out. White isn’t likely to return consistent fantasy production on what amounts to change-of-pace snaps, but fantasy managers in a bind with bye weeks looming could do worse than stashing him at the end of their bench. White will be a difficult start in Week 3 against the Jets.

The short of it: White was the team’s distant No. 2 back behind Bucky Irving, who handled 14 rushes and had four receptions, one for a touchdown. Irving dominated the pass-catching role out of the Tampa backfield; he ran 23 pass routes to just nine for White. For now, White profiles purely as a contingency option. If Irving were to miss time in 2025, White would suffice as a top-20 PPR option.

Updates have been sparse but White returned to practice last week and has been participating since then without any reported issues. August reports on the Bucs’ backfield have been unfavorable to White, though, with Bucky Irving being considered for a high-volume role that includes “pass-catching work” and head coach Todd Bowles saying he needs to give Sean Tucker the ball more. At this point, White can only be stashed in PPR leagues. His standalone value is liable to evaporate if Irving siphons away passing down snaps and the tackle-breaking Tucker could eat into White’s rushing work. If Irving misses time, White could take on a specialized role featuring his receiving skillset while Tucker leads the way on early downs.
