James White Unlikely To Have Consistent Role
3 years agoNew England Patriots running back James White has spent the first seven years of his career with this organization. However, a change of scenery might've be the best for his fantasy value. Despite that, he signed a one-year deal with New England over the offseason. As of right now, Damien Harris is expected to be the lead back for this offense. Both Sony Michel and White should get touches as well. However, most of White's value comes off screens as a pass-catcher in the backfield. He might be able to sustain fantasy value while Cam Newton is under center. Although, once the inevitable happens and Mac Jones take over then we'll see how White fairs in the backfield. White probably won't be anything more than bench depth or a streaming option in most formats.
