6 years agoNew England Patriots running back James White should see plenty of targets Week 1 against the Texans. Running backs Rex Burkhead and Sony Michel are battling respective injuries and White may be the healthiest Patriot runner heading towards Sunday. Burkhead is expected to play at this time but White is certain to get some snaps. The Texans last season were stingy against the run, allowing the 12th fewest fantasy points to the position. But White has proven to be a capable security blanket for Tom Brady and could get involved in the short passing game. White is certainly available in most leagues and could rise all the way up to RB3/4 status heading into the first game of the season.--Joey C - RotoBaller
