James White Rises To RB1 Status Against Bills
6 years agoNew England Patriots running back James White is enjoying a renaissance start to his season, totaling 569 yards from scrimmage with 45 receptions and seven touchdowns. The injury to running back Sony Michel should increase White's touches even higher coming into Week 8 against a vulnerable Bills run defense. Buffalo is allowing the 10th most fantasy points to opposing running backs, including nine touchdowns through seven games. The Patriots will utilize practice squad veteran Kenjon Barner to give White a breather at times but expect White to be highly active in the offensive game plan. White will be a low-end RB1 option in Week 8.
