Raiders' Zamir White: Spends rookie season behind Jacobs
Rotowire
White returned from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury to take his lone carry for four yards in the Raiders' Week 18 loss to the Chiefs, finishing his rookie campaign with just 17 rushes for 70 yards in 14 games.
White logged an average of 2.6 offensive snaps per game in his first season, as the 2022 fourth-rounder mostly stuck to the bench while workhorse Josh Jacobs dominated touches out of the Raiders' backfield en route to a career year. The latter is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, however, so the starting job could be available for White to earn if the team elects not to re-sign Jacobs.

Raiders' Zamir White: Drops injury tag
Rotowire
White (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's estimated injury report, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
White missed each of the team's last two games, but it appears he'll likely be able to play in the team's season finale Saturday against the Chiefs. It's been a relatively quiet season for the rookie, who has seen just 34 offensive snaps in 13 games, which has led to 16 carries on 66 yards. However, it's always possible he could see a heavier workload to close out the season.

Rotowire
White (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Raiders' Zamir White: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
White (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
White has been limited in each practice over the past two weeks due to an ankle injury, which caused him to miss his second game of the season during the loss to Pittsburgh on Christmas Eve. The rookie running back will be considered questionable to play for the second game in a row, so it will be worth monitoring his status on the final inactives list released 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 pm E.T. kickoff. If White remains out, then Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden and Brittain Brown will serve as the three available running backs behind starter Josh Jacobs.

Raiders' Zamir White: Limited to begin Week 17 prep
Rotowire
White was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
White logged two limited practice sessions last week but was ultimately ruled out for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh. His ability to start off this week with a limited session suggests that he could return to action New Year's Day versus San Francisco, though that's not a certainty given how last week played out. White's chances of playing Week 17 would be significantly boosted if he's able to participate fully in practice at some point over the next two days.

Raiders' Zamir White: Inactive Saturday
Rotowire
White (ankle) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Steelers.
White was listed as questionable for the contest after logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, and he'll sit this one out, which leaves Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden and Brittain Brown to handle complementary backfield duties Saturday behind Josh Jacobs.

Raiders' Zamir White: Status up in the air for Week 16
Rotowire
White (ankle) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
White opened Week 16 as a non-participant during practice due to an ankle injury, though it's unclear when or how this issue first arose. The rookie running back then logged back-to-back limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, so he'll still have a chance to play against Pittsburgh despite this slightly short week to recover. White has yet to log more than three carries in a game this season, though his potential absence would likely vault Brandon Bolden into the Raiders' No. 3 running back role.

Raiders' Zamir White: Sits out practice with ankle injury
Rotowire
White was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report due to an ankle injury.
White played only eight total snaps in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots, but his inclusion on the Raiders' first Week 16 injury report suggests he got hurt at some point during his limited time on the field. Even if White moves past the injury ahead of Saturday's game at Pittsburgh, he'll be in store for only a small role behind lead back Josh Jacobs.

Raiders' Zamir White: Week 15 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Josh Jacobs injured his finger in Week 14 at the Rams, and we don't know his status as of Tuesday morning for Week 15 against New England. At the time of writing this, we expect Jacobs to play, but adding White could be a good insurance policy. He hasn't done anything of note this season, and he would likely share playing time with Ameer Abdullah (5 percent rostered) if Jacobs were out. But White would be a borderline starter in all leagues if Jacobs can't play, and I consider White a potential lottery ticket worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB. And it's not a bad idea to take a flier on Abdullah also in PPR for 1 percent.

Raiders' Zamir White: Two carries Sunday
Rotowire
White rushed twice for six yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.
White logged only four offensive snaps despite starter Josh Jacobs having nursed a left calf strain all week, and the latter rushed for 144 yards and a score on 26 carries Sunday. White's role out of the Raiders' backfield figures to remain limited Thursday against the Rams with Jacobs seemingly near full strength.

Raiders' Zamir White: Week 13 Adds (RB Preview)
Rotowire
If Josh Jacobs' calf doesn't heal, White could be in line for 15 touches against a Chargers defense that has allowed 5.6 yards per carry to running backs this season. White would be a high-end flex in that scenario.

Raiders' Zamir White: Week 13 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The NFL Network reports that Josh Jacobs is dealing with a calf injury and isn't expected to practice this week. He played through the injury in Week 12 at Seattle and had a massive outing with over 300 total yards and two touchdowns, but his status for Week 13 against the Chargers is now in question. If Jacobs were to miss any time then White would likely replace Jacobs on rushing downs, with Ameer Abdullah factoring in for the passing game. It's a great matchup against the Chargers, who are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, so you should speculate on adding White and Abdullah (3 percent). White is worth 10-15 percent of your remaining FAB, and Abdullah is worth 1 percent.

Raiders' Zamir White: Produces two first-down runs in win
Rotowire
White rushed for 28 yards on two carries in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks.
White toted the rock twice despite appearing on just three of the Raiders' 77 offensive plays, and the rookie's rush attempts were successful with carries of 11 and 17 yards to set up a pair of first downs in the third quarter. Starter Josh Jacobs still owns the backfield, however, erupting for 303 total yards and two touchdowns on 39 touches. Expect White to remain behind Jacobs and Ameer Abdullah in the pecking order at running back when Las Vegas hosts the Chargers in Week 13.

White figures to provide insurance behind Jacobs again Week 5 in another divisional matchup against the Chiefs.
