Bottom Line

White totaled just 37 carries through his first one-and-three-quarters NFL seasons. Then he was a workhorse over the final four games of last year, averaging 21.0 carries and 3.3 targets and ranking 11th among RBs in PPR points per game.

The Raiders lost RB Josh Jacobs this offseason and only added RBs Alexander Mattison and Dylan Laube. It makes White the favorite for the 2024 starting job.

He carries a wide range of outcomes this season, with the upside to score as a top-15 RB and the downside to lose the lead job to Mattison.

What We Learned Last Year

  • White carried just 17 times as a 2022 rookie and 20 times over the first 13 games of last season.
  • A quad injury knocked RB Josh Jacobs out for the final four games of last season, allowing White to step in as the lead back. Over those four games, he totaled:
    • 84 carries
    • 397 rushing yards
    • 1 rushing TD
    • 13 targets
    • 9 catches
    • 60 receiving yards
  • White played 68.5% of Vegas’ offensive snaps over those four games.
  • He tied RB Najee Harris for the most carries in the league during that stretch. He ranked third in rushing yards.
  • White ran a route on 45.3% of Raiders pass plays and drew a 9.6% target share.
  • He ranked eighth among RBs in expected PPR points per game over those final four weeks; ninth in expected half-PPR points.
  • White ranked 11th among RBs in actual PPR points per game and 13th in half-PPR during that stretch.
  • His weekly PPR finishes:
    • RB12
    • RB16
    • RB16
    • RB21
  • Among 31 RBs with 20+ carries over the final four weeks, White ranked:
    • 18th in yards after contact per attempt
    • 22nd in Pro Football Focus Elusive Rating
    • 17th in PFF rushing grade
  • White was a 2022 fourth-round pick out of Georgia.
  • He tore an ACL in his final high school season and then the other ACL in the summer prior to his freshman campaign.
  • White led Georgia in carries and rushing yards in each of his final two seasons.
  • He clocked a 4.40-second 40 time at 6’0, 214 pounds at the Combine, giving him a 96th-percentile Speed Score.

What to Expect in 2024

  • RB Josh Jacobs left for Green Bay in free agency. The Raiders added free-agent Alexander Mattison and rookie Dylan Laube to the backfield.
  • Mattison got just $2 million on his one-year deal. He hit a career-high 180 carries last year but fell short of 4.0 yards per carry for the third straight season. Among 49 RBs with 90+ carries last year, Mattison ranked:
    • 33rd in yards after contact per attempt
    • 35th in NFL Next Gen Stats’ Rush Yards Over Expected Per Attempt
    • 39th in Pro Football Focus rushing grade
  • White beat Mattison in both yards after contact per attempt and PFF rushing grade last year.
  • The Raiders selected Laube in Round 6 of this spring’s draft. He spent six seasons at New Hampshire and will turn 25 in December. Laube led all RBs with 117 catches over the last two seasons and led the nation with 194 all-purpose yards per game last year. But, as a small-school, sixth-round rookie, he’s not a good bet to make an impact this season.
  • Antonio Pierce returns as HC after taking over for the final nine games of last year. The Raiders ran it a bit more under Pierce than they did under previous HC Josh McDaniels.
    • Vegas went from a 61.2% pass rate in eight games under McDaniels to 57.3% pass under Pierce.
    • The Raiders registered a -1% Pass Rate Over Expected under McDaniels vs. -3% under Pierce.
  • After a deal with Kliff Kingsbury fell through, the Raiders hired Luke Getsy as their new OC in February.
    • Getsy spent the last two years as Bears OC, where Chicago ranked 28th and 20th in total yards and 23rd and 18th in points.
    • The Bears ranked 32nd in pass rate and Pass Rate Over Expected in 2022; 31st in pass rate and 27th in PROE last year.
    • Those offenses were predominantly quarterbacked by Justin Fields, which undoubtedly skewed the offense toward the run. We’re projecting a more balanced attack from Getsy in Vegas. It’s worth noting that he was the Packers’ QB coach and passing-game coordinator before his stint with the Bears.
  • Vegas figures to get subpar QB play this season, with Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell set to battle for the starting job this summer.
  • The 2023 Raiders ranked:
    • 14th in Pro Football Focus run-blocking grades
    • 17th in adjusted line yards
  • Three of last year’s starters – LT Kolton Miller, RG Dylan Parham, and C Andre James – return for the 2024 campaign.
  • Second-round rookie Jackson Powers-Johnson is expected to start at LG, while 2022 seventh-rounder Thayer Munford is the favorite for the RT job.
  • This projects to be a middling offensive line again in 2024.

Dylan Laube, RB LVR

8:09pm EDT 4/27/24

Raiders take Dylan Laube in Round 6

The Raiders selected New Hampshire RB Dylan Laube in Round 6 of the NFL Draft. Including a 2018 redshirt, Laube spent six seasons at New Hampshire. He'll turn 25 in December, making him one of the oldest prospects in the class. Not ideal – but the production speaks for itself. Playing against FCS competition, Laube led the nation in all-purpose yards per game in 2022 (194.3). Included in there: Three games north of 200 rushing/receiving yards, including a video game-like 12-295-2 receiving line against Central Michigan. Overall, he excelled as a receiver with 49 catches – good for second on the team. Per The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, Laube passed on transfer opportunities (and NIL deals) ahead of last fall. Still, his workload dropped (16 carries per game vs. 20.4), and he declined in yards per carry, yards after contact per attempt, and forced missed-tackle rate. Known as a high character kid, Laube ultimately wins with quick feet and a versatile skill set. He’s racked up a nation-leading 117 catches over the past two seasons. Going in the late sixth round is a bad sign, but Laube at least landed in a Raiders backfield with only Zamir White, Alexander Mattison, and Ameer Abdullah. We’ll see if he can push Abdullah for a passing-down role. Laube isn’t worth a pick in early best-ball drafts but is a viable flier in deeper dynasty leagues.

Raiders HC Antonio Pierce called newly signed RB Alexander Mattison and TE Harrison Bryant depth pieces. "We’re talking about guys that could come in and, at some point — don’t know when it’s gonna happen — but, give us that starter, that little jolt or juice that we can use," Pierce added. Bryant was never a legitimate threat to 2023 second-rounder Michael Mayer. The bigger takeaway here is that the Raiders evidently don't view Mattison as a competitor for the starting RB job. Mattison's play could change throughout the offseason, of course. And Vegas could still add a RB in the draft. But Zamir White's odds of opening the season as the starter continue to climb. He remains a solid value in early best-ball drafts. For more on White, check out 2024 Fantasy Football Breakouts.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Packers are expected to sign RB Josh Jacobs. It's a surprising development. Green Bay has been set to let RB AJ Dillon walk in free agency but had been talking with RB Aaron Jones to adjust his contract. This move could signal those talks have broken down and Jones will move on. That said, the Packers might also envision a potential Jacobs-Jones backfield. Either way, a healthy Jacobs should rebound vs. last year's struggles -- especially in a better offense. He sports upside into the top 12 at the position. Whether Jacobs' Underdog Fantasy ADP rises higher than its current RB14 level will likely depend on Jones' situation. Jacobs is worth a look in best ball drafts right now while the market tries to sort all that out. The Raiders, meanwhile, appear to have Zamir White in line to take over the lead job. He filled in admirably over the final four games last season and would be a fine fantasy option if he reaches the regular season in that role. There's still, of course, room for the Raiders to address their backfield in free agency and/or the draft. And it's worth remembering that White was a fourth-round pick who barely saw the field until Week 15 of his second season. Gauge your dynasty league to see if there's excitement over his opportunity and consider trading White if you can get a good return.

After their deal with Kliff Kingsbury fell through, the Raiders hired Luke Getsy as their new OC under HC Antonio Pierce. Getsy spent the last two years as OC in Chicago, where the Bears ranked in the bottom half of the league in both total yards and points. Those were run-heavy offenses, in large part because they were quarterbacked by Justin Fields. Getsy was the Packers' QB coach and passing-game coordinator before his stint with the Bears, so we'd expect a more balanced attack in Vegas. Unless, of course, the Getsy hire is a precursor to the Raiders swinging a trade for Fields.

Kliff Kingsbury has pulled his name out of consideration for the Raiders' OC job, according to his agent. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that contract talks between the two sides broke down late in the process. We'll see who the Raiders eventually land on as OC under HC Antonio Pierce. Kingsbury, meanwhile, is a "leading candidate" for the Commanders' OC job, per Schefter.

White's rookie year was essentially non-existent. Then in 2023, he showed flashes of lead-back ability when Josh Jacobs missed time late in the year. Consider the retention of HC Antonio Pierce a win. Still, White will need to fight off backfield competition ahead of next season.
