BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White led the backfield in the season opener but was outshined by his backup, Alexander Mattison who found the end zone.
White saw 13 carries compared to Mattison's four but ran for just 44 yards. Through the air, White caught both both of his targets for just two yards while Mattison caught four passes for 43 yards and a score.
Raiders RB Zamir White looks explosive running through the gauntlet and Gardner Minshew follows shortly after.

White looked to be the clear lead runner in this offense but based on Week 1. White will typically only enter the game in rushing situations given how well Mattison looked as a pass-catcher, which lowers his value in PPR formats.
On Sunday, the Raiders will face the Baltimore Ravens who allowed 45 rushing yards and score to Isiah Pacheco. Fantasy managers should expect a similar result for White as he will see double-digit attempts once again.
However, given how strong the Ravens' defense is, White may not have many red zone opportunities which makes him a low-end RB2 this weekend.
