James White (RB, NE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: I won't stop preaching the James White Word any time soon, but the fact that this man was the leading scorer of the Patriots in Week 3 and the third-best fantasy player of the team in Week 1 tells you all you need to know about this offense. Anyway, White is a perennial under-the-radar/undervalued player that always gets to his fair amount of FP thanks to his steadiness and near-zero volatility from one week to the next one.

White, who can easily be considered a wide receiving masquerading as a running back, put up a perfect 6-for-6 receiving line that included 45 yards against the Jets in an absolute demolition on Sunday. White, as expected, only carried the ball 5 times for 20 nice yards and his lone score of the game with a TD on the ground. That won't happen very often, but he can definitely do it. But White's mojo is on pass-plays. He posted a 7-6-49 line in W1 and although he finished without a touchdown from scrimmage he still put up 12.1 PPR points good for a low-end RB2 finish.

Damien Harris in probably the Patriots running back you would like to roster as he's looking like a lock to get his 15+ carries per game, but he has completely nothing to fight White's upside at pass-catching duties. This seems to be a one-two punch with very defined roles and no real competition (for now, at least) in the backfield with Rhamondre Stevenson fumbling the rock in W1 and not even active last Sunday. Snatch James White from the WW before it's too late and make him your weekly FLEX starter in virtually every league (no matter the size, but prioritizing those using the PPR scoring format). You won't regret it.
