James White could be in for a huge year. As the Patriots' best passing-downs running back in 2016, he amassed 883 total yards and nine touchdowns in 19 games, including the postseason. Most of those yards came through the air via the 78 receptions he had in those 19 matchups. With Julian Edelman lost for the season, the hunch is that White will step up and play a larger role in the passing game, just as he did in 2015 when Edelman missed seven games. In that span, White averaged 4.6 catches and 55.4 total yards per game with six scores and 9.9 Fantasy points per game. For him to retain that major role in the offense, he'll have to outplay Rex Burkhead and Dion Lewis on a weekly basis. But after his heroics in Super Bowl LI, and after coach Bill Belichick admitting he'd like to give White a little more work as a rusher, there's a ton to love about White, especially since he can be found after the 100th pick in every Fantasy draft. Get him around that 100th pick in every league.
