Rachaad White assumes larger role for Washington amid Seahawks matchup
Summary

Rachaad White, ranked 44th among running backs in PFN's Week 3 rankings, is set to face the Seattle Seahawks this week. In Week 2, he took on a lead receiving role, recording six catches on six targets and gaining yardage on all seven carries. Although the Washington offense has struggled, White's increased usage offers potential in PPR formats. Upcoming matchups against strong defenses could challenge his effectiveness, and he may be a risky flex option.
