Who Should I Start? Zamir White or Khalil Herbert

Sunday, January 7, 7:23 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White got the start again and handled another huge workload in Week 18 against the Denver Broncos. White had 25 carries for 112 yards on the ground. The Raiders running back around brought in one of his two targets for nine yards in this contest. White finished his season strong and made a great case to be the team's starting running back if Josh Jacobs departs in the offseason. White and the Raiders have been eliminated from the playoffs, so their season has ended. Fantasy managers and Raiders fans will be interested to see what transpires before the beginning of next season for this team that cleared house in the middle of the season.

The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain wonders if running back Khalil Herbert would be a trade candidate if the Chicago Bears bring in an undrafted rookie at the position and he impresses. Of course, this all depends on the development of Roschon Johnson. Herbert is entering the final year of his rookie deal. D'Andre Swift signed a three-year contract with the Bears this offseason, while Johnson has the same number of years remaining on his first contract after being drafted in the fourth round in 2023. Herbert is a solid back, but RBI is a position that changes often for teams. Chicago's coaching staff is high on Johnson, and the 26-year-old Herbert dealt with ankle and back injuries last year after leading the NFL with 5.7 yards per carry in 2022. The addition of Swift in this backfield obviously hurts Herbert's fantasy stock a great deal heading into the 2024 season.
