Sean Tucker

The running back split was as disgusting as was rumored, with White splitting time with Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker. White's trump card was holding a majority of the snaps due mostly to Tampa Bay's negative game script and his role as the receiving back. The Ravens lost him out of the backfield multiple times on screens, including his final touchdown in garbage time where both Ravens linebackers chased a crossing route and left White wide open. He will be hard to trust against the Falcons next week, but he also might be Tampa's WR1.

He was the clear third banana as he took an early-downs only share and the Buccaneers spent most of the game trailing. That doesn't mean he can't have fantasy value going forward, but it is hard to predict that a big game is coming next week against the Falcons without some affirmative words from the coaching staff about his role.

This was though to be the case after White logged a full practice on Saturday, with his status now confirmed with the release of the Week 7 inactives list. The Tampa backfield situation remains unclear after rookie Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker performed well in White's absence, with head coach Todd Bowles indicating the team would ride the hot hand moving forward. Also active in Week 7 is DT Vita Vea, who was added to the injury report late in the week. Inactive for the Buccaneers are DL C.J. Brewer, P Jake Camarda, TE Payne Durham, OG Royce Newman, and LB Jose Ramirez.

Bucs RB Rachaad White (foot) is active for tonight s game vs. the Ravens. We ll get our first look at what this three-man backfield will look like after RB Sean Tucker s big Week 6. The entire backfield has a brutal matchup against Baltimore s fifth-ranked RB defense. See how we project the backfield tonight.

It essentially guarantees White will suit up Monday evening, barring setbacks. The question then becomes if he can avoid in-game aggravations. The Bucs have said they will ride the "hot hand" between White, Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker. White will probably still get the first opportunity to establish it, but his health puts him at a disadvantage. He's a shaky FLEX option for Week 7, though he does have upside in what projects as something of a shootout with Baltimore.
