White's target share jumped to 16.2% from 5.7% in Week 1, driven almost entirely by second-half checkdown work once Daniels left; he caught all six of his targets for 40 yards, added 43 rushing yards on seven carries with a 71.7% success rate, and out-snapped Jacory Croskey-Merritt 52% to 37%. Both White and Dyami Brown saw their target shares roughly triple after Daniels left, signaling a real signal worth chasing with Mariota starting again.

We should also think through why the team put in Kaytron Allen instead of Rachaad White in such a high leverage situation I don’t think White has much fantasy value - likely someone who just takes a spot on your bench without a meaningful contribution
