Who is the Rachaad White of 2025?
TLDR; who is the running back in 2025 who is most likely to lose touches to fresh legs due to performance and not injury?
In 2023, Rachaad White was in the top ten fantasy RBs in both half PPR and full PPR. This was because he was fed targets and was in a system that he thrived and was fed passes and rushes. He was also generally considered a mediocre running back with 3.64 yards per carry.
According to sleeper in the 2024 drafts he was the 13th RB off the board on average, taken higher than James Cook, Joe Mixon, James Conner, and David Montgomery. He ended up finishing 21st in both PPR and half PPR. Much of this was due to the rise of Bucky Irving, who was a more efficient runner and ended up being the RB 15 in PPR and 16 in half PPR.
While being the RB 21 will still lead to good games, White clearly is not RB 1 material and may not get to RB 2 material unless there is an injury.
My question is: who is the Rachaad White of 2025? The player that had a good season in 2024, is below replacement level talent wise, and is in danger of being drafted too high and being out competed by new talent?
