News: 1 day agoWhite rushed 11 times for 47 yards and brought in one of two targets for five yards in the Commanders' 24-21 win over the Giants on Thursday.

Spin: White led the Commanders' ground attack once again, posting a team high in rushing yards and tying for the team lead in rush attempts with Jayden Daniels. The veteran back wasn't as involved as usual as a receiver, however, capping the overall quality of his fantasy performance. White also could see Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin, IR) make his return for a Week 11 home matchup against the Bengals on Monday night, Nov. 23, a development that would likely relegate the former to a complementary role he'd presumably share with Austin Ekeler.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: White signed with the Commanders after spending his first four seasons with the Buccaneers. The 2022 third-round pick operated as a feature back in 2023 (he finished in the top five among backs in touches, yards and fantasy points), but he played a situational role during his other three seasons. White is fine as a rusher, but he's a standout as a receiver. He's the only back in the NFL with 40-plus catches in each of the past four seasons, and his 89.1% career catch rate is easily best in NFL history among players with 100-plus targets. The 27-year-old is the favorite to lead the Washington backfield, but Jacory Croskey-Merritt and perhaps others will be involved. White will find himself on the weekly flex radar as long as he remains atop the depth chart.
