White, who rushed once for one yard and secured both targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 wild-card loss to the Commanders on Sunday night, finished the 2024 regular season with 144 carries for 613 yards and three touchdowns and a 51-393-6 receiving line on 57 targets across 16 games. He also committed three fumbles, losing them all. White went into his third season set to still operate as the lead back while rookie Bucky Irving was eased into the NFL ranks as a complementary option. However, there was eventually a changing of the guard in the backfield once it became clear Irving was the more explosive player and capable of handling a true No. 1 back workload, and White ultimately finished the regular season with zero touches for only the second time in his career during the Week 18 win over the Saints. The 2022 third-round pick is set to play out the final year of his rookie contract in 2025, and considering what Irving put on film once given control of the ground attack, White may not receive a contract extension offer this offseason.

White went without a carry or target across 18 snaps in the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday. White surprisingly was a complete non-factor on offense, going without a single touch from scrimmage for only the second time in his career. The first instance came way back in Week 3 of the 2022 season, and that was only over five snaps in White's third professional game. Despite the fact Bucky Irving has clearly taken over the lead-back role, even No. 3 back Sean Tucker recorded two rush attempts in his five snaps Sunday. Nevertheless, given White's experience and pass-protection contributions, he figures to have his fair share of opportunity in Sunday night's wild-card matchup against the Commanders.
White rushed six times for 30 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday. White once again played clear second fiddle to Bucky Irving, who logged 20 carries and four receptions on as many targets. White now has just nine combined carries over the last two games, seemingly corroborating there's been a true changing of the guard in Tampa Bay's ground attack. White will face a vulnerable Saints run defense to close out the season in Week 18.
White rushed three times for 10 yards and caught seven of eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Cowboys. He also lost a fumble. White played second fiddle to Bucky Irving, who turned 19 touches into 92 total yards and a touchdown. The third-year pro posted his lowest rushing yardage total of the season but finished with his third-highest receiving yardage total of the campaign. White was held without a touchdown for only the second time in his last nine games, and his fumble at the end of a six-yard catch with 1:40 remaining secured the loss for Tampa Bay. He'll try to get back on track as a rusher in Week 17 against the generous Panthers run defense.
White took 15 carries for 64 yards and lost a fumble while adding two receptions for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Chargers. Bucky Irving (back/hip) wound up suiting up after getting injured last week against Las Vegas, leading to an even split in carries between Tampa Bay's tailbacks. White scored the backfield's lone touchdown as a receiver while Irving stole the show with 117 rushing yards with his 15 totes. The latter is the preferred fantasy option in this timeshare, but White retains deep-league value for next Sunday's tilt at Dallas.
White rushed 17 times for 90 yards and a touchdown and secured two of three targets for 19 yards and another score in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday. White's backfield mate Bucky Irving exited the game for good in the first half with a back injury, and White was able to take advantage with a season-high rushing yardage total. The game marked the third-year pro's second straight efficient effort, as he'd also recorded 76 yards on 11 carries, albeit with the help of a big run in overtime, in a Week 13 win over the Panthers. White added his third rushing touchdown of the season on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter, a score preceded by a five-yard TD grab in the opening period. White's fantasy prospects are on an upswing irrespective of Irving's status going into a Week 15 road matchup against the Chargers.
White rushed the ball 11 times for 76 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win against the Panthers. He added one reception on one target for two yards. White had remained in a relatively even backfield split with Bucky Irving in recent weeks, though he took on a more complementary role in Sunday's win. All told, Irving out-touched White 28-14, with Irving racking up an impressive 185 yards from scrimmage. Positively, it was one of White's more effective games as a rusher this season, highlighted by a 38-yard run in overtime to set up the game-winning field goal. Despite that, it will be difficult to trust him as a fantasy starter, as all of the momentum appears to be on Irving's side.
White rushed 12 times for 37 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday. White had trouble with his efficiency on the ground, as he logged a full 50 yards fewer than backfield mate Bucky Irving on the same number of carries. However, White was able to make up for it with his second rushing touchdown of the season, a one-yard run late in the third quarter. His catch total did tie a season low, however, and the more explosive Irving appears to be making a strong case to potentially earn even more work, leaving White's fantasy outlook for a very favorable matchup against the Panthers in Week 13 at least somewhat murky.
White rushed 10 times for 31 yards and brought in six of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. White logged three fewer carries and 42 fewer yards than backfield mate Bucky Irving, but he set the pace in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets. White also recorded his career-high fourth receiving touchdown of the season with a nine-yard scoring grab early in the third quarter, and he'll face a Giants defense that just allowed 153 rushing yards to the Panthers' Chuba Hubbard in Week 12 following Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye.
