James White (RB, NE) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 49% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: New England Patriots running back James White was included among the Week 1 recommendations, as the continuing delay to Sony Michel’s involvement with the Patriot offense appeared to provide the fifth-year back with a massive opportunity to accumulate targets, receptions, and fantasy points.

He did ultimately collect four of his team-best nine targets for 38 yards and a touchdown, while generating 56 total yards against the Texans. White’s performance provided further evidence that he merits inclusion within the weekly concoction of New England’s game-specific offensive approach, which should be retained even if Michel’s lingering knee issue allows the rookie into the team's mix. White should secure a respectable workload this week versus Jacksonville, and owners should take advantage of this opportunity to benefit from his involvement.
