Who Should I Start? Cody White or Theo Wease Jr.

Saturday, October 3, 8:29 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Cody White has been an unexpected bright spot amid the team's 3-0 start to the season, contributing three touchdowns over the last two weeks. However, despite the scoring streak, he's still not a reliable fantasy option for Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. All three of White's catches this season have gone for touchdowns; this 100% touchdown rate is absolutely not sustainable. Something has to give, and right now, he's more likely to see his touchdown volume decrease rather than see his target volume increase. With a sub-22% snap share in all three of his games, White's fantasy outlook is entirely dependent on him scoring a touchdown. Even last week, when he scored a touchdown, he finished with a modest 7.6 fantasy points in PPR leagues, because the touchdown was his only catch. We might see his snap share increase with Jack Bech (forearm) on injured reserve, but he's still behind Jalen Nailor, Tre Tucker, and potentially Dareke Young on the depth chart. Managers looking for a receiver with touchdown upside should head the waiver wire for better options with higher volume shares. It's also worth noting that he has an incredibly challenging matchup against the Chiefs, who have allowed the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2026.
