Rachaad White injury update: clear for Week 6 vs. 49ers (shoulder)

Rachaad White practiced in a limited capacity Friday due to a shoulder injury but has no designation for Monday's game at San Francisco.

By Cole Hartwell

Rachaad White practiced in a limited capacity Friday due to a shoulder injury, according to RotoWire. He has no designation for Monday’s game at San Francisco, the outlet reports.

What happened

White practiced in a limited capacity Friday due to a shoulder injury, per RotoWire. He is clear for Week 6, with no designation for Monday’s game at San Francisco, the outlet reports.

Context

White has 33.1 PPR points, 29 carries, 118 rushing yards, 10 receptions, and 53 receiving yards in four games this season. His 49% snap share leads Washington running backs. In Week 5, he had 3.0 PPR points, seven carries, 18 rushing yards, one reception, and two receiving yards.

Depth chart

Jacory Croskey-Merritt has been ruled out for Week 6 with a groin injury, according to RotoBaller, leaving White as the next man up. Austin Ekeler is listed as the RB3 on the depth chart and has 7.4 PPR points, 28 rushing yards, and 26 receiving yards in two games.

What’s next

White and the Commanders face the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, October 19 in Week 6.

🏈 Fantasy impact

With Croskey-Merritt out, White is the clear lead back for Washington. His receiving usage has been modest — 10 receptions on 10 targets this season — but the volume should be there. He’s a fine RB2/flex play in deeper leagues, especially in PPR formats. Ekeler is merely a handcuff. However, the 49ers run defense could limit White’s rushing efficiency, and the Commanders have a bye in Week 7, so his value may be short-lived.
