News: 5 days agoWhite said during Thursday's training camp practice that he's dropped down to roughly 212 pounds and has improved his quickness, conditioning and stamina heading into Year 4, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Spin: White enters 2025 seemingly positioned for a complementary backfield role that will primarily make use of his passing-down skills, while 2024 breakout Bucky Irving dominates carries. As a pure runner, White has at times looked indecisive between the tackles, though last year was actually the most efficient of his career on the ground, with 144 carries for 613 yards (4.3 YPC) and three scores across 16 regular-season appearances. The 2022 third-round pick has only missed one regular-season game in his career to date, and he'd likely inherit a huge role if the 195-pound Irving were to miss any time, though there's also a lingering possibility that Sean Tucker (who averaged 6.2 YPC on just 50 rushes last year) pushes for more touches.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: White enters his fourth NFL season no longer positioned as Tampa Bay's lead back. The 2022 third-round pick peaked when he finished top 5 among RBs in snaps, touches, carries, routes, catches, yards and fantasy points during a breakout 2023 season, but his pedestrian efficiency led to a reduced role in 2024. White still scored nine TDs and ended up in the top 10 among RBs in targets, catches and receiving yards, but he fell to 23rd in fantasy PPG. One of only two backs with 50-plus receptions in each of the past three seasons (Alvin Kamara is the other), White figures to sustain a pass-catching role in a good offense, but Bucky Irving appears to be the new lead back in Tampa. White is a fine late-round insurance flier.
