BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White has seen just 20 carries all season but could be in line for a bigger role. Although the Raiders' offense isn't particularly desirable, the potential increase in volume for White could provide him with solid fantasy value.
Josh Jacobs left the game this past weekend with a knee injury. At this time, there's been little information about the severity of the injury or what exactly occurred. He'll likely undergo an MRI to determine what the injury is and the timeline. Given the record the Raiders have and that Jacobs is playing on a one-year contract, it shouldn't be surprising if Jacobs sits out the next week or two.
For Jacobs, there are not many reasons to risk playing since he'll be a free agent at the end of the season. White would likely operate as the early-down grinder for Las Vegas, but he shouldn't be expected to be as involved in the passing game as Jacobs has been. White would likely be the goal line back, but there aren't a whole lot of touchdowns available in the Raiders' offense. He'll be a volume-dependent RB3 if Jacobs misses time.
