Rachaad White injury update: Latest on Bucs RB for Fantasy Football Week 6

Running back Rachaad White popped up on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers injury report to start the week on Wednesday. He was limited in practice due to a foot injury.

Although it is still too early in the week to tell if White's foot ailment will prevent him from playing in Week 6, the fact that he was limited in practice may at least suggest that the injury is not really serious.

White's level of participation at Thursday's practice will be monitored in order to determine his chances of playing Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

If White is sidelined or limited for Week 6, running back Bucky Irving will receive the majority of the backfield workload, considering the rookie has already been getting more snaps since Week 3.

Per latest reports, White will be inactive for week 6.

Rachaad White injury update: What happened to the Bucs' RB?

Rachaad White was productive in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield during the team's 36-30 loss to the Atlanta Falcons last week, rushing on 10 occasions for 72 yards at an average of 7.2 yards per carry. However, during that game, he sustained a minor foot injury after he was tackled by a Falcons’ defensive player.

White left the field, but he later returned to the game. His involvement was limited from that point to the end of the game.

Rachaad White started the week as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. While that might be a good sign that his injury isn't severe, fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on him on Thursday and Friday to find out if he'll be ready for Week 6.

White hasn't been as effective as many Buccaneers' fans must have wanted this season, but he put on arguably his most explosive performance of the season in the game against the Falcons last Thursday.

White has already demonstrated significantly better efficiency in the last two games than he did at the beginning of the season. He had an average of 6.0 rushing yards on his 20 touches against the Philadelphia Eagles and the Falcons.

Meanwhile, Bucky Irving has been eating into White's snaps in the last few games and has been almost as efficient in that time. This season, Irving has averaged 5.6 yards on 44 rushes and has scored once.

White will get another chance to score his first touchdown of the season on the road in a Week 6 road schedule against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
