Who Should I Start? Zamir White or Dylan Laube

Saturday, November 22, 12:57 AM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White continues to be a non-factor with his team, and he remains off the fantasy radar in all leagues. The 26-year-old has been a healthy scratch for five games in a row, and he's likely headed for his sixth consecutive absence in Week 12 as the Raiders take on the Cleveland Browns. Ashton Jeanty has control of the top spot in Vegas' backfield, while Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube have edged out White for depth roles. In the four games he did play earlier this year, White averaged just 2.5 carries, 6.3 rushing yards, 0.8 catches, and 4.8 receiving yards. Even if one of the running backs ahead of White were to get injured, he'd likely still be a non-factor in all fantasy football leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Laube could be in line for a slight uptick in playing time this week against the Washington Commanders. Laube logged just 18% of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers but managed to catch two passes for 17 yards, flashing the receiving skills that made him a standout in college. Head coach Pete Carroll suggested the team may work him in more on offense after limiting him almost exclusively to special teams in Week 1. For now, Laube remains buried on the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty and Zamir White, leaving him without any immediate fantasy value. Still, the fact that the Raiders are looking to carve out a role for him in the passing game is a positive sign for his long-term outlook.
