One could argue on who should be the starter on the Bucs squad as both these backs provide a multitude of skills allowing for some nice chunk plays. With Irving out, White will step into the role of RB1. <\/p>\n<p>The Seattle Seahawks have struglled this season against receiving backs. White provides that with soft hands on perfectly placed balls from quartback <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MayfBa00.htm\">Baker Mayfield<\/a>.

He runs clean routes, has great hands (0 drops), and is an amazing blocker on the outside for Johnothan Taylor.  With Danielle Jones at the helm, the Colts have been able to lead a balanced attack on the ground and through the air. <\/p>\n<p>After almost winning last week, the Raiders\u2019 8th pick in the draft, Ashton Jeanty, finally had the breakout game we have all been waiting to see. I think this allows the Raiders to keep this close and force the Colts to move the ball through the air.<\/p>\n<p>Over the first 4 weeks of the NFL season, Pittman has hauled in 21 of 29 passes, with 10 targets last week alone. Expect the usage to continue with right around eight targets, I love the yards here and don\u2019t mind a TD.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"low\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Darren-Waller-scaled-400xauto.webp.webp\" alt=\"Sep 29, 2025; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (83) makes a touchdown catch against New York Jets cornerback Brandon Stephens (21) during the first half at Hard Rock Stadium. \" class=\"wp-image-60953\"  \/>Photo: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>Darren Waller<\/p>\n<p>If there were ever a time for a QB to develop a connection with a TE, that time is now.
