6. Rachaad White, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The first of two rookies threatening their veteran superior for playing time is Rachaad White. He has generally looked like the better back in what is the league-worst rushing offense in Tampa Bay. He has slowly been closing the gap in snaps with Leonard Fournette as well.

White’s role has been slowly expanding, and he’s becoming a guy that Tom Brady can trust — which goes a long way in Tampa. Though he likely won’t usurp the starting job from Fournette, he should continue to see an expanded role and is a name to monitor.

5.  Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers

The other rising rookie is Steelers’ UDFA Jaylen Warren. During the bye week, reports were coming out about Warren seeing more playing time, possibly over Najee Harris. He has looked substantially better and more explosive than Harris and has demanded playing time.

While Warren won’t become the starter, he’ll likely see an expanded role out of the bye, simply out of necessity as Pittsburgh is starved for offensive playmaking. Warren is an intriguing option this week against New Orleans, especially in PPR leagues.
