Zamir White Fantasy Football Outlook (2023)

Zamir White could see a larger role after a redshirt rookie season with Josh Jacobs' touches having nowhere to go but down and him threatening to hold out by missing training camp. Josh McDaniels is notorious for never featuring rookie RBs, so White's lack of playing time in Year 1 is not shocking. White was a polarizing prospect in last year's draft process before he was selected in the 4th round by the Raiders. He runs with strong intent and decisiveness at the line of scrimmage. Knows where to go and how to hit the hole. Solid explosiveness and burst; constantly gets yardage after first contact. Elusive in space as a receiver.

The former Georgia Bulldog is built like a three-down back and posted Great testing measurables from the NFL Combine: 4.40 40-yard dash (93rd percentile) and 128 in the broad jump (94th percentile). White's overall counting stats are not particularly great, but that's because he split work with James Cook and Kenny McIntosh, like most Georgia backs often do.

What matters more is White's career three yards per snap - a mark that stacks up with the likes of Michael Carter, Rachaad White, James Cook, and Tyler Allgeier.
