BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues (if Josh Jacobs is out)
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2/3
ANALYSIS: Josh Jacobs (quad) suffered a quad injury in last week's 3-0 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. If Jacobs can't suit up against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football, Zamir White will instantly enter the fantasy radar
White hasn't seen much work since being selected in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, as the Raiders have utilized Jacobs as a workhorse back. In 27 career games, White has rushed just 37 times for 124 yards and hauled in six passes for 38 yards. That said, we don't have many stats or data to tell us about how effective he can be in a starting role.
However, the Chargers have surrendered the 11th-most fantasy points per game to running backs this year, and many fantasy managers are desperate for production at the position that has seen a flurry of injuries. White could still disappoint since the Raiders offense is one of the worst units in the NFL, but the matchup is favorable, and fantasy managers in deep leagues have been stashing him for this moment.
There's a chance Ameer Abdullah takes the receiving role in Jacobs' absence, but White should get early-down and goal line looks. If Jacobs is active for Week 15, White can be avoided entirely.
