25-Year-Old Running BackRB
Las Vegas Raiders
2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 2022 fourth-round pick, White actually started ahead of James Cook when the two were at Georgia in 2020-21. Cook was drafted earlier and saw more immediate opportunity in the NFL, but White came on strong late last season after an injury to workhorse Josh Jacobs, who subsequently left for Green Bay in free agency. The Raiders settled for Alexander Mattison as their veteran backfield addition and didn't draft a RB until the sixth round, making it likely White enters Week 1 as the team's starter and best pure runner. Coach Antonio Pierce has made it clear he wants to run the ball a lot -- dating back to his stint as interim coach last year -- and there's a chance that volume could bring the best out of White as he gets the chance to wear down defenses. Where things get more sketchy is on the question of pass-catching production. White appears to be below average as a passing-down back, to the point that even Mattison would likely grade as the better option there. If White isn't getting many targets, his workloads could fluctuate wildly from week to week on a team that's set to start either Gardner Minshew or Aidan O'Connell under center. There's not much question the Raiders want to run a lot, but actually doing so partially depends on being competitive. Read Past Outlooks

Rushing TD on minimal volume

November 3, 2024
White rushed six times for 10 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
White didn't see much of an uptick in volume despite head coach Antonio Pierce's recent remarks about getting him more involved, but he did make good on a red-zone opportunity by capping off the opening drive of the game with a one-yard touchdown run. As his final line implies, White did next to nothing the rest of the way, however, and he's now gone three straight games with single-digit carries. With backfield mate Alexander Mattison logging three more rush attempts Sunday, it appears White continues to play second fiddle in the ground attack heading into the Week 10 bye.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
White never projected as a viable starter in the NFL, both for skill limitations and even more so because of durability. He plays with a ferocious motor and inflicts punishment on both tacklers and himself, which is why he had trouble staying healthy at Georgia. He had two ACL tears early in his collegiate career and then missed two games late last season with an ankle injury. When White has a lane to hit, his speed usually gets him through, but unfortunately he didn't get much chance to prove that as a 2022 fourth-round pick, taking just 17 carries in 14 games last season. If White can't make it as a rushing specialist in the NFL, he likely won't make it at all because pass-catching is not part of his game. And as long as workhorse Josh Jacobs is healthy, White doesn't figure to see many carries.
White was selected in the fourth round of this year’s draft and could be atop the depth chart for the Raiders as soon as next season with both Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake in the final years of their contracts. White ran a surprising 4.40 40 at the combine, and at Georgia he ran with power while primarily taking carries between the tackles and ceding passing-down work to fellow 2022 draft pick James Cook (Buffalo, Round 2). White's lack of playing time on passing downs may continue in the pros, but the bigger concern is that he's already undergone ACL surgery on both knees. Regardless, the rookie could find himself one injury away from a starting job if he can win a role this summer as Jacobs' backup for early downs.

Role not guaranteed
RBLas Vegas Raiders
June 18, 2024
The Raiders have not committed to White as their lead back entering the 2024 season, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
White has been the presumed lead back since the departure of Josh Jacobs this offseason, though coach Antonio Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco are still keeping their options open. Alexander Mattison is one internal option, though he's never handled more than 180 carries in a season. Tafur also mentioned the possibility that the team will consider external options, with the likes of Damien Harris, Cam Akers and Kareem Hunt still available.
