BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: Zamir White was a popular fantasy pick for managers looking to wait a bit on the running back position and still be able to grab a player who would presumably get starters' touches in the middle rounds.
White has been an early-season disappointment through two weeks, however, having rushed for just 68 yards on 22 carries without a touchdown.
Part of the problem has been Alexander Mattison, who has two touchdowns on 13 touches thus far. The former Viking has been more involved in the Las Vegas offense than fantasy gamers expected heading into the season while vulturing scoring opportunities away from White.
Zamir White TD!

That being said, White finds himself in a get-right situation with a road matchup against a struggling Carolina Panthers team. The Panthers have been anything but competitive thus far, losing their two games by a combined score of 73-13.
The Panthers turning to Andy Dalton after benching Bryce Young earlier in the week gives some hope but this is still a bad football team with a defense allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs this year. Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams combined to carry the ball 26 times for 121 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1 while J.K. Dobbins ripped them for a 17-131-1 line last week.
White is not a lock for starting lineups in fantasy but he is on the radar as a high-end RB3 who could see a lot of clock-killing carries in the second half if the Panthers continue to struggle.
