BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues, Start in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 27% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: As of Monday morning, we now know that Josh Jacobs will not play in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. There was optimism that Jacobs would start all week, but that is no longer the case. In his place, Zamir White will start again in Week 16 and should be viewed as a high-end RB2/FLEX option with upside.
While the Chiefs defense is solid and this isn't the easiest matchup for White, we can expect him to be the primary running back and get the majority of the volume. Ameer Abdullah will be used as well, similar to the usage last week against the Chargers, but White should handle primary rushing responsibilities, goal-line work, and some targets out of the backfield. With 10-15 touches projected, if not more, White still plays as a solid RB2/FLEX option with upside.
