Zamir White May Head Back To The Bench
12 months agoUPDATE 12/25: According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Josh Jacobs (quad/illness) will not play in Week 16. And in his place, Zamir White will start in Week 16 instead of Josh Jacobs, making him a solid RB2/FLEX option with upside. 12/24: Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White was the starter for the team in Week 15. White and the Raiders dropped 63 points in their Thursday night matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. White had 17 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown in the matchup. The Raiders running back also brought in three of his four targets for 16 receiving yards last week. With the Raiders starting running back, Josh Jacobs, trending towards a return in Week 16, White could be relegated to his backup role this week. The Raiders take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. The Chiefs are not a bad matchup for running backs, so White could be a decent play if Jacobs does miss the game. Fantasy managers should hold onto White as an insurance policy because he is the clear backup to a running back with a massive workload.
