Zamir White Questionable Against The Bengals
5 months agoLas Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (quad) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was a full participant in Friday's practice and is expected to be active in Week 9. White lost his starting job to his former backup, Alexander Mattison, ahead of his Week 8 matchup. He proceeded to rush the ball two times for a loss of one yard after playing just 3% of the snaps in the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He's unlikely to earn his job back. Head coach Antonio Pierce expressed his desire to continue getting White the ball, but it's unlikely he'll earn meaningful touches moving forward after such an ineffective performance. He's averaged just 3 yards per carry on the season. He's not startable in any leagues for now.

Raiders Place Zamir White On Injured Reserve
4 months agoThe Las Vegas Raiders announced on Tuesday that they placed running back Zamir White (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve and signed quarterback Carter Bradley to the 53-man active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move. The Raiders also signed quarterback Jake Luton and defensive tackle Tyler Manoa to the practice squad and released defensive tackle Marquan McCall from the practice squad. White is now done for the rest of the 2024 season with the move. The 25-year-old was in line for lead-back duties after Josh Jacobs left in free agency, but he fell flat with the opportunity and gave way to Alexander Mattison early in the year. White ends up being a massive disappointment in his third year in the league with 183 rushing yards and one touchdown on 65 carries through eight games. Sincere McCormick has become a bigger part of Vegas' backfield of late with Mattison also hurt.

Zamir White Ruled Out, Alexander Mattison Questionable
4 months agoAccording to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN, Las Vegas Raiders running backs Zamir White (quadriceps) has been ruled out, and Alexander Mattison (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. White will now miss his third-straight contest. Mattison has remained a limited participant during this week's practices and could be in line to return following his two-game absence. Over the past two weeks, veteran Ameer Abdullah has operated as the lead back and averaged a modest 33.5 rushing with 25.5 receiving yards per game. However, depth option Sincere McCormick has shown flashes over this stint, as he has posted a solid 5.7 yards per carry. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Mattison's status over the weekend as he would likely reclaim his lead role if he can suit up on Sunday.

Zamir White Remains Sidelined At Practice
4 months agoLas Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (quadriceps) missed yet another practice on Thursday. White has missed the team's last two games and appears to be well on his way to missing a third straight this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers unless he's able to get back on the practice field on Friday. It's been a very disappointing season for the 25-year-old, who opened the year with a shot at lead-back duties after Josh Jacobs left in free agency in the offseason. White squandered his opportunity and let Alexander Mattison jump him on the depth chart early in the year. He's averaging a measly 2.8 yards per carry on 65 rushing attempts for the season in eight games (five starts), and he hasn't seen double-digit carries since Sept. 29. Even if White miraculously returns for the Week 14 contest against the Bucs this weekend, he should remain on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

Zamir White Still Not Practicing
4 months agoLas Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (quadriceps) missed the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. White has missed the last two games due to a quadriceps injury and isn't on the right track to return this weekend when the team travels to Tampa to take on the Buccaneers on Sunday. Meanwhile, Alexander Mattison (ankle), who has missed the last two games as well, was limited on Wednesday. Even if White were to get back to practice later this week and play on Sunday, he'd likely be the RB3 for Vegas behind both Mattison and Ameer Abdullah. The 25-year-old opened the year with an opportunity to be the Raiders' lead back, but he squandered that chance and is now just looking to get healthy again. White is averaging a dreadful 2.8 yards per carry on 65 attempts through eight games in 2024 and is now rostered in only 21% of Yahoo fantasy leagues.
