News: 2 days agoWhite was listed as the Commanders' No. 2 running back on the team's unofficial depth chart Monday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

Spin: White joined Washington in the offseason, inking a one-year deal with the team in March. Head coach Dan Quinn named White as a standout performer from OTAs and minicamp, but at this point, second-year pro Jacory Croskey-Merritt appears to have the edge as the No. 1 option in the backfield heading into the 2026 campaign. White was able to turn 132 carries into 572 yards and four touchdowns while also adding 40 catches and 218 yards over 17 regular-season contests with the Buccaneers in 2025, marking the third time in his four-year career that he was active for the entire regular season.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: White signed with the Commanders after spending his first four seasons with the Buccaneers. The 2022 third-round pick operated as a feature back in 2023 (he finished in the top five among backs in touches, yards and fantasy points), but he played a situational role during his other three seasons. White is fine as a rusher, but he's a standout as a receiver. He's the only back in the NFL with 40-plus catches in each of the past four seasons, and his 89.1% career catch rate is easily best in NFL history among players with 100-plus targets. The 27-year-old is the favorite to lead the Washington backfield, but Jacory Croskey-Merritt and perhaps others will be involved. White will find himself on the weekly flex radar as long as he remains atop the depth chart.
