Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White has been the team's starting running back since Week 15 and has looked dominant in the role since taking over. White ran for 71 yards on 20 carries last week against the Indianapolis Colts. In addition to his massive workload on the ground, White brought in five of his six targets for 35 receiving yards.

If White remains the starter against the Broncos, he should be a near must-start player. Fantasy managers should watch the Raiders backfield closely and start White if he is allowed to be the lead back again.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White had 22 carries for 145 yards in the win against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. White once again stepped into the Josh Jacobs role and was productive.

After dropping 63 points on the Chargers, the Raiders followed up with 20 against the Chiefs, including two defensive scores. The Raiders take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17. The Colts rank 30th in fantasy points allowed to running backs, so it will be a juicy matchup for whoever starts at running back for the Raiders next week. By all accounts, Jacobs was nearing a return this week, so there is optimism he will be available for the Raiders next game. White is a crucial handcuff option for fantasy managers to hold in case Jacobs cannot play next week.

It was reported today by Tom Pelissero from NFL Network that Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad/illness) will not be able to play this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. With Jacobs not able to suit up in Week 16, Zamir White will once again function as the lead running back for the Raiders with Ameer Abdullah in the mix as well. Last week against the Chargers with Jacobs out, White had a strong game racking up 17 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown -- while also grabbing three catches on four targets for 16 yards -- good for a total of 17.9 fantasy points in PPR leagues. For fantasy managers with an open roster spot still available, or for those setting DFS lineups today, White should be considered a solid RB2/FLEX option with upside.

White had 17 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown in the matchup. The Raiders running back also brought in three of his four targets for 16 receiving yards last week. With the Raiders starting running back, Josh Jacobs, trending towards a return in Week 16, White could be relegated to his backup role this week. The Raiders take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. The Chiefs are not a bad matchup for running backs, so White could be a decent play if Jacobs does miss the game. Fantasy managers should hold onto White as an insurance policy because he is the clear backup to a running back with a massive workload.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White had 17 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown in the win against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night.

Dec 15, 2023 6:00 AM EST
Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White has been uninvolved in the Raider offense for much of the season, with starter Josh Jacobs carrying an enormous workload, but that could change in Week 15. Jacobs left last week's game early with a knee injury, which has prevented him from practicing this week. The Raiders play on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Chargers this week. Given the short turnaround time and lack of practice, it seems unlikely that Jacobs will suit up for Thursday's contest. In the absence of Jacobs, White should step into the RB1 role. White will likely handle the bulk of the carries, while Ameer Abdullah should mix in for passing downs and two-minute drills. The Chargers defense is not the easy matchup it once was for running backs. Still, given the uncertainty surrounding the Chargers offense, White could be an intriguing option for bold fantasy managers this week.

The Raiders take on the Chicago Bears in Week 7. The Bears are one of the most favorable matchups for running backs. Despite the matchup, White is not nearly involved enough to make a difference in fantasy.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White started and played the full first quarter in the Raiders' 31-16 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday night. White didn't do much, taking four touches seven total yards. With RB Josh Jacobs signing a one-year extension with the Raiders, White's usage on Saturday indicates he is second in line for carries this season, making the 2022 fourth-round pick a sleeper flex option in later rounds of fantasy drafts.
Aug 27, 2023 3:03 PM EST
Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White rushed for 40 yards on 10 carries, adding one catch for nine yards in the Raiders' 34-17 preseason win over the Rams on Saturday night. White started the game for Las Vegas and seems in line to do the same in Week 1 against Denver if RB Josh Jacobs continues his holdout.

Aug 20, 2023 11:48 AM EST
Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White was listed as the team's No. 1 back on the Raiders unofficial depth chart last week. It appears the 23-year-old will act as the starting back for as long as Josh Jacobs is away from the team. White rushed 13 times for 43 yards and a touchdown in the first preseason game. He only saw 17 carries behind Jacobs last season, but that is likely to drastically change, assuming Jacobs continues to sit out. It sounds like the Raiders are attempting to solve the contract situation with Jacobs. Until then, White will act as the starter and he looks like a really good late-round option in fantasy drafts.
