The second-year back's resurgence continued with a one-yard TD plunge in the first quarter. White has five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) over the last five games while also racking up 491 scrimmage yards, including back-to-back contests in triple digits. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 14 against a Falcons defense he hit up for 99 combined yards in their Week 7 meeting.

The second-year back's resurgence continued with a one-yard TD plunge in the first quarter. White has five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) over the last five games while also racking up 491 scrimmage yards, including back-to-back contests in triple digits. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 14 against a Falcons defense he hit up for 99 combined yards in their Week 7 meeting.
White finally found some consistent running room after coming into the game with an average of 3.3 yards per carry, with a game-long 38-yard run helping boost up his tally considerably. The second-year back was less involved in the passing game than usual -- his receiving yardage total tied a season low -- but White more than made up for it with his work on the ground. Next on the docket for White and the Bucs are the Panthers in a Week 13 divisional home matchup.
The Buccaneers tacked on White to their practice report Saturday due to a knee injury, which left him questionable for Week 12 action. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that while White's knee locked up on him for a brief spell at Friday's practice, the running back was expected to play Sunday. Indeed, that has come to fruition, and White now will be taking on a Colts defense that has given up the fifth-most touchdowns (12) to opposing running backs in 10 games this season.
White was a late addition to the injury report Saturday due to a knee issue and was deemed questionable for the Week 12 clash versus the Colts. It appears that he'll be able to play in the contest, though it's possible that he could take on a lighter workload than usual depending on the severity of the injury. White has hovered around the 80-percent offensive snap count throughout the campaign, which has made the Bucs' backs behind him on the depth chart unplayable in fantasy. If White does end up being limited at all Sunday, Chase Edmonds would likely be the biggest benefactor, but that doesn't make Edmonds a recommended fantasy play.
White wasn't on the team's initial injury report, so it's possible that his knee issue flared up in practice Friday. Fortunately for those considering the running back in Week 12 fantasy lineups, the Buccaneers kick off at 1:00 ET on Sunday, but if White is limited or out versus Indianapolis, Chase Edmonds, Sean Tucker and Ke'Shawn Vaughn would be candidates to log added backfield touches.
White drew his typical workhorse role on the ground, and as customary, he found running room at a premium. However, the second-year back salvaged his fantasy day with a nifty 43-yard touchdown reception off a screen pass just past the midway point of the second quarter where he weaved his way to the end zone down the left side of the field. White now has back-to-back 20-carry tallies heading into a tough Week 11 road battle against the 49ers.
White once again took on a hefty workload on the ground and complemented it with a solid allotment of work as a pass catcher, leading to arguably his best all-around performance of the season. The two rushing scores put White over the top fantasy-wise, with the second-year pro finding the end zone on a pair of one-yard runs in the second and fourth quarters. White's secure lead-back role and locked-in receiving volume gives him plenty of appeal at home against the Titans in Week 10.
