Miles Sanders Scores Touchdown in Week 2, Worth a Look on the Waiver Wire?

Tuesday, September 16, 3:17 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Miles Sanders didn't look great in the season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles as the backup to Javonte Williams, but he gave fantasy managers a reason to hold on in deeper leagues in the 40-37 overtime win over the New York Giants on Sunday. Sanders scored his first touchdown of the season on a four-yard run in the fourth quarter, but he had only five carries on the day for a total of 15 yards, while Williams ran the ball 18 times for 97 yards and a touchdown. The 28-year-old caught both of his targets for four yards. Sanders isn't going away anytime soon, but with a minimal RB2 role behind Williams, he can remain on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues. Right now, he's only rostered in 2% of Yahoo leagues. Rookie Jaydon Blue has been a healthy scratch the first two weeks, but if he starts to get involved, Sanders will lose what little fantasy appeal he has left.

Zamir White's Fantasy Outlook Hinges on Jeanty's Health

Friday, September 12, 2:33 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White has secured the No. 2 role behind rookie Ashton Jeanty, but his Week 1 usage was minimal. White played just 14% of offensive snaps and managed only eight yards on three carries, serving strictly in a relief role. The positive takeaway is that he has clearly distanced himself above Raheem Mostert on the depth chart, but with Jeanty handling 86% of the snaps and dominating touches, White's value is strictly that of a handcuff. Unless Jeanty misses time, there's little path to standalone fantasy relevance for White this season.
