5. RB Rachaad White, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Rostered: 24.4%
With Leonard Fournette dealing with a passport issue, White got the start for the Buccaneers in Munich.
Rachaad White mentioned in postgame that Leonard Fournette had passport issues this week, "not getting his passport until late," so that was likely a factor in him getting the start and the chance to shine today.

Fournette was active, but White played a larger role. White played 48 offensive snaps, while Fournette played 22 offensive snaps. The rookie made the most of his opportunity. He rushed for a career-high 105 yards. It was a notable performance for the Buccaneers, who are last in the NFL in yards per rush attempt and second to last in rushing yards per game (70.7).
In addition, Fournette exited the game in the fourth quarter after suffering a hip pointer. The Buccaneers are heading into a bye week, but if Fournette misses any time, White will be a great streaming option.
However, if Fournette is healthy, it is difficult to envision the Buccaneers reducing White’s role after his breakout performance. White is worth stashing for the time being.
