Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Rachaad White played 17 games and scored 143.0 PPR points, 8.4 a game, finishing RB32.

He carried 132 times for 572 yards and 4 touchdowns, and caught 40 of 45 targets for 218 more yards.

That came to 7.8 carries a game at 4.3 yards a carry and 2.4 catches a game.

Rachaad White was available for 1 game more.

Side by side

In 2025 Khalil Shakir scored 10.4 PPR points a game and Rachaad White 8.4, 2.0 a game between them.

Rachaad White finished RB32 and Khalil Shakir WR36, which are two different ladders.

Rachaad White is a running back and Khalil Shakir a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 7, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

0.7 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
