James White Poised To Have Big Role In Passing Game
5 years agoNew England Patriots running back James White is part of a solid backfield. While fellow running back Sony Michel was utilized more in the rushing game, White was the bigger threat catching the ball in 2018. White put up modest rushing numbers a year ago, but it was his receiving stats that have fantasy players excited to draft him, catching 87 passes for 751 yards and seven touchdowns. Patriots running backs coach Ivan Fears said even though Michel and rookie Damien Harris will be fine catching the ball, they're not James White. Fears didn't hesitate to say if he has the chance to throw it White's way, he will. White matching his receiving numbers from last year should be expected.
