Patriots running back James White is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup to target as a free agent addition for Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (higher priority in PPR leagues)
ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: White’s availability in over three-fourths of all leagues is arguably the most surprising aspect of this week’s waiver wire breakdown. His role as New England’s pass-catching specialist from the backfield remains fully intact. However, he is still attainable in the vast majority of leagues prior to the Patriots’ season opener. White has averaged 5.8 targets per game since 2016, while finishing sixth or better at his position in total targets during three of those five seasons. He has also accomplished that feat each year in which he performed during 15+ regular season games.
White also finished 10th among backs in targets last season despite being absent during two matchups (family situation). He also placed fourth in targets from Weeks 11-17 (30/4.3 per game), while finishing among the top six in receptions (22/3.1 per game) and yardage (172/24.6 per game). White’s prospects of sustaining his enticing numbers have been solidified by the ascension of Mac Jones under center. That vaults him atop this week’s list of targets on your waiver wire.
