Zamir White 2024 Outlook: Fantasy Football’s Surprise Bell Cow Back
7 months agoLas Vegas Raiders third-year running back Zamir White was arguably the biggest fantasy football winner of the offseason. After former starter Josh Jacobs departed for the Green Bay Packers, the team chose not to make a significant investment in the position during the NFL Draft or free agency. White played well in limited action last year. He finished 14th in Next Gen Stats Rush Yards Over Expectation Per Attempt (RYOE/ATT). He averaged over 114 scrimmage yards and 23 touches per game during four starts in place of Jacobs. That kind of volume would put White on the RB1 radar. The Raiders did sign Alexander Mattison and used a sixth-round pick on rookie Dylan Laube. Mattison has never proven to be effective while Laube profiles more as a pass-catching back. The latter could limit White's overall fantasy ceiling. However, neither poses a significant threat, and White's status as the team's RB1 is secure. Poised to lead the Raiders backfield, White is a rock-solid RB2 option in all formats with RB1 upside any given week.
