Zamir White is a 2022 fantasy football draft sleeper at running back and an ADP draft value. Target White as an undervalued RB in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~154 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~169
ANALYSIS:Out with the old, in with the new. That's the philosophy in Vegas as new coach Josh McDaniels takes over. In the same vein as his mentor, Bill Belichick, McDaniels views running backs as disposable. That's why they declined Josh Jacobs' fifth-year option, essentially making him a lame duck starter at RB, and cut Kenyan Drake.
The new hotness is fourth-rounder Zamir White. We know he is a former five-star prospect who is coming off a championship season in Georgia. His combine numbers reinforced the fact he has the size and speed to dominate as a runner. The only question is his role in Vegas but based on the way training camp is going, it's obvious he will be at least a big part of a committee early on. I'm willing to bet that he is the lead runner by the time the fantasy playoffs arrive.
The other question about Zeus is whether he will be limited by a lack of pass-catching. Even if he proves capable, we know McDaniels will put a player like Ameer Abdullah in that specific role. Does that limit White's upside? Of course it does. I'm pretty sure he won't finish as a top-10 RB in PPR leagues. That doesn't mean he can't have tremendous value.
Think of Damien Harris in New England last year, who caught all of 18 passes but still managed to finish as the RB14 in full PPR leagues. In standard leagues, he was RB8. Zamir White might not reach those heights but I see a top-25 finish for a player being drafted as the RB60.
