News: 2 days agoWhite rushed eight times for 35 yards and caught his only target for a six-yard touchdown during Sunday's 33-31 win over Seattle.

Spin: White was far more productive over his eight carries (4.4 YPC) than starting running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt was on his 19 rushes for 36 yards (1.9 YPC). However, White's most notable moment of the game came as a pass-catcher, as he secured a six-yard touchdown on a pass from Marcus Mariota in the first quarter. Through three games so far in the regular season, White has compiled 100 rushing yards on 22 carries while catching all nine of his targets for 51 yards and a score.

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.
