Who Should I Start? Zamir White or Jaleel McLaughlin

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White will be competing for a roster spot in training camp this summer after the team selected former Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty with the sixth overall pick in this year's NFL draft. The Athletic's Tashan Reed has White listed as the current No. 4 behind Jeanty, Raheem Mostert and Sincere McCormick. The Raiders are unlikely to hand the ball to Jeanty almost 27 times per game like Boise State did in 2024, but he will still be the unquestioned workhorse back in Vegas in his rookie season. The veteran and oft-injured Mostert has become strictly a third-down back at this point in his career. The 25-year-old White had a very disappointing season in 2024 as the team's primary back to open the season, averaging just 2.8 yards per carry. Unless Jeanty misses time with an injury in his first NFL season, White will be off the fantasy radar.

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin will be a healthy scratch for his team's Week 1 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, per Mike Klis of 9NEWS. Without McLaughlin, Denver's running back trio in the season opener will likely be J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, and Tyler Badie. McLaughlin has played in 33 games for the Broncos over the past two seasons. Without him in the lineup, Badie may see a bit more work as the change of pace back to Dobbins and Harvey.
