Yahoo Fantasy Football on Zamir White
From the article
The departure of Josh Jacobs landed White in the RB2 conversation. By the summer of '24, White had just four starts to his name after joining the league two years prior. But with a 5'11"/227-pound build, projections had him supporting every role. He even earned 19 targets while sharing the totes with Jacobs! The situation was lining up for White even if we were uncertain about his talent. In either case, reality wasn't kind to the truthers.
STACKED’s take
White lost backfield to Mattison before quad injury; situation broke from preseason hype.
White was positioned as an RB2 candidate after Josh Jacobs' departure, with projections supporting every role including 19 targets while sharing carries with Jacobs. However, reality was unkind: White managed only 30.8% rushing share and 30.8% route rate (vs. Alexander Mattison's 47.2% and 47.2%), with just 20.8% red zone snap rate (vs. Mattison's 54.2%). White suffered a quad injury in Week 11 that sidelined him for the season, but the damage was already done as Mattison took over the backfield on a meager $2M deal within a month. The source uses White as a cautionary example of the RB Dead Zone—a player whose situation broke differently than anticipated.
