Rachaad White
RB
Washington Commanders
- Teammate Terry McLaurin (a top target) is on IR, so White may see more targets.
- Backfield mate Jacory Croskey-Merritt is on IR, so White could see more carries.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how RBs have played against the Bengals in the 2026 season.
RB1 = the highest-scoring RB against Bengals in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Rachaad White should do vs the BengalsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Bengals, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Rachaad White has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Bengals opponents to line them up with: the best RB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Rachaad White will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Bengals avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Rachaad White's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Rachaad White usually produces.
Projected is Rachaad White's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Bengals were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

Difference is what the defense allows minus what White averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Start / Sit · Rachaad WhiteGood confidence · 10.4 proj pts5/10 start
- Rachaad White averages 10.5 PPR points over 6 games (recent-weighted 11.3) and has played as the team's RB1.
- The Bengals have allowed 15.8 points to RB1s over 7 games (-2% vs league). The model applies 70% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -1% adjustment.
- Last season's average (8.4) is blended in at 25% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 10.4 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 20.9.

Prediction & chance to scoreRachaad White vs the Bengals
Prediction for Rachaad White
Nobody knows which slot Rachaad White will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Bengals.
I predict about 10.4 points for Rachaad White if playing as a RB1. Rachaad White has averaged 10.5 over 6 games, and the Bengals have given up 15.8 to RB1s (-2% vs the league average of 16.1).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Rachaad White scored: Wk 1 4.7, Wk 2 14.3, Wk 3 11.1, Wk 5 3.0, Wk 6 15.7, Wk 8 14.0. Average 10.5; weighted toward recent games it is 10.6.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the Bengals allowed 15.8 points to their opponent's RB1. The league average for that slot is 16.1, so that is -2%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 7 defensive games, only 70% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -1% adjustment (x0.99).
4. Result. 10.6 x 0.99 = 10.4. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Rachaad White is to reach it as a RB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (10.4) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 5.4 points, leaning on Rachaad White's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical RB swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 10.
With only 6 games of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
