White is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
White is thus the odd man out in the Raiders' Week 6 backfield, so Ashton Jeanty, Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube are slated to handle the team's RB duties versus Tennessee. With 10 carries for 25 yards and three catches for 19 yards in four games thus far, White is off the fantasy lineup radar.

Raiders' Zamir White: Zero offensive snaps against Colts
Rotowire
White did not play a single offensive snap in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.
White was not involved in the Raiders' offensive plans Sunday, as the veteran running back played exclusively on special teams in the contest. Meanwhile, Raheem Mostert operated as Ashton Jeanty's backup and Dylan Laube played exclusively on special teams. White's diminished role has taken him off the fantasy radar moving forward. The Raiders host the Titans in Week 6.

Raiders' Zamir White: Healthy scratch in Week 4
Rotowire
White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.
White is a relatively surprising healthy scratch Sunday, considering he's filled a complementary role in each of the first three games of the season and posted 13 total touches over that span. However, the fourth-year pro will don street clothes for the interconference clash, leaving Dylan Laube and veteran Raheem Mostert as Ashton Jeanty's backups versus Chicago.

Raiders' Zamir White: Six touches in loss
Rotowire
White rushed five times for 19 yards and caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders. He also returned one kickoff for 27 yards.
White logged 19 offensive snaps to Jeanty's 40 in the Raiders' Week 3 defeat, and the rookie out-carried White with 17 rushing attempts to five, though each running back averaged less than 4.0 yards per carry during a tough day on the ground. Once again, White figures to serve as Jeanty's primary backup Week 4 against the Bears, providing more contingent value than standalone.

Raiders' Zamir White: Four touches in loss
Rotowire
White rushed twice for minus-two yards and caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Monday's 20-9 loss to the Chargers.
White had a quiet day while continuing to operate as the Raiders' No. 2 running back behind rookie Ashton Jeanty. The veteran played just 21 of the Raiders 70 offensive snaps, giving him few opportunities to get much going in the contest. As long as Jeanty stays healthy, White appears to be nothing more than an insurance policy for fantasy managers invested in the rookie. White will have his next chance to get more involved when the Raiders visit the Commanders in Week 3.

Raiders' Zamir White: No. 2 RB behind Jeanty
Rotowire
White rushed three times for eight yards and returned one kickoff for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Patriots.
White assumed the RB2 role behind rookie Ashton Jeanty when the Raiders surprisingly made 33-year-old veteran Raheem Mostert a healthy inactive Sunday, but the depth chart shift resulted in just nine offensive snaps and three touches for White. Meanwhile, Jeanty handled 19 carries and caught a pair of passes in his NFL debut. Until the team's plan for Mostert becomes clearer, White figures to remain Jeanty's primary backup when Las Vegas hosts the Chargers on Monday Night Football in Week 2.

Raiders' Zamir White: Impressive in preseason loss
Rotowire
White rushed nine times for 42 yards and brought in his only target for three yards in the Raiders' 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.
White co-led the Raiders in rush attempts with veteran Raheem Mostert, but it was the former that notably was in on the first possession alongside rookie first-round pick Ashton Jeanty. White had been having a very quiet preseason until Saturday night's productive showing, so it remains to be seen if the 2022 fourth-round pick will survive final roster cuts, and if so, whether he'll slot in ahead of Mostert on the depth chart behind Jeanty.

Raiders' Zamir White: Placed on season-ending IR
Rotowire
The Raiders placed White (quadriceps) on injured reserve Tuesday.
White's placement on IR rules him out for Las Vegas' final four games of the regular season, after the 2022 fourth-round pick had already missed the last three games due to a quad injury. Despite entering the season as the team's No. 1 running back, White managed just 183 yards (2.8 YPC) and one touchdown on 65 carries while also securing six of eight targets for 30 yards. Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Sincere McCormick remain available atop the Las Vegas depth chart.

Raiders' Zamir White: Another missed practice
Rotowire
White (quadricep) remained sidelined at practice Thursday.
Back-to-back 'DNPs' Wednesday and Thursday cloud White's status for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the running back has any chance to play this weekend, but if he ends up missing a third straight game, added reps would continue to be available for Sincere McCormick in a Las Vegas backfield that also includes Ameer Abdullah and possibly Alexander Mattison (ankle), who has been limited at practice this week after missing two straight contests.

Raiders' Zamir White: Still not practicing
Rotowire
White (quadricep) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
White, who was estimated as a non-participant for Tuesday's walk-through session, thus has one more chance to practice ahead of Friday's game against the Chiefs. Meanwhile, fellow running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) was deemed a limited participant both Tuesday and Wednesday, giving him a better chance than White to return to action in Week 13.

Raiders' Zamir White: Inactive Sunday
Rotowire
White (quadricep) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
With both White and Alexander Mattison (ankle) unavailable, Ameer Abdullah is next up at running back for the Raiders on Sunday, while Dylan Laube and practice-squad elevation Sincere McCormick are also on hand to mix in. The next chance for White and/or Mattison to return to the lineup occurs this coming Friday, when the Raiders travel to Kansas City to face the Chiefs in a 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Raiders' Zamir White: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Raiders have a new offensive coordinator in Scott Turner, and we'll see if he has something different planned for the backfield when it comes to White and Alexander Mattison coming off the bye in Week 10. White has been a disappointment so far this season, and Mattison has performed as the best running back for the Raiders. But maybe Turner can help White, and he's worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB to see what develops, especially in a favorable matchup against the Dolphins in Week 11.

Raiders' Zamir White: Rushing TD on minimal volume
Rotowire
White rushed six times for 10 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
White didn't see much of an uptick in volume despite head coach Antonio Pierce's recent remarks about getting him more involved, but he did make good on a red-zone opportunity by capping off the opening drive of the game with a one-yard touchdown run. As his final line implies, White did next to nothing the rest of the way, however, and he's now gone three straight games with single-digit carries. With backfield mate Alexander Mattison logging three more rush attempts Sunday, it appears White continues to play second fiddle in the ground attack heading into the Week 10 bye.

Raiders' Zamir White: Questionable after full practice
Rotowire
White (quadricep) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals after being a full participant in practice Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
White's full participation Friday was encouraging after he logged a DNP on Thursday, but that wasn't enough to avoid an injury designation. If White's able to play Sunday, he will likely continue to cede most of the touches in Vegas' backfield to Alexander Mattison. White's averaging a disappointing 3.0 yards per carry.

Raiders' Zamir White: Sidelined at practice Thursday
Rotowire
White (quad) didn't practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
After being a limited practice participant Wednesday, White downgraded to a DNP one day later. It remains to be seen if that's related to a setback or if the Raiders are simply managing the running back's practice reps as Sunday's game against the Bengals approaches. Either way, Friday's injury report will reveal White's Week 9 game status. If he's available this weekend, the 2022 fourth-rounder would be in line to work in a complementary role behind starter Alexander Mattison.

Raiders' Zamir White: Four touches in return
Rotowire
White (groin) rushed three times for 13 yards and caught his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.
White returned from a two-game absence but worked as a distant No. 2 behind Alexander Mattison, who turned 23 carries and three targets into 123 scrimmage yards. White's averaging just 3.2 yards per carry and has yet to score a touchdown this season, so it's possible he has been permanently demoted to a backup role. Barring a realignment in the backfield pecking order, White won't have much fantasy upside in Week 8 against a stingy Chiefs defense.

Raiders' Zamir White: Active versus Rams
Rotowire
White (groin) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
After logging back-to-back limited practices, White -- who had missed the Raiders' last two contests -- upgraded to full participation Friday before being listed as questionable heading into the weekend. With his active status confirmed, White is poised to reclaim his role in a Las Vegas backfield that also includes Alexander Mattison (who started while White was out) as well as change-of-pace option Ameer Abdullah. In that context, White -- who has recorded 49 carries for 152 yards and caught five of his seven targets for 16 yards in four games thus far -- represents a lineup option for those in deeper formats or who are otherwise in need of Week 7 RB help.

Raiders' Zamir White: Practices fully, listed as questionable
Rotowire
White (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams after practicing fully Friday.
Following back-to-back limited sessions, White -- who has missed the Raiders' last two games -- upgraded to full participation to close out the week, signaling that he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If White is made active versus Los Angeles, he'll be in a position to reclaim a portion of his team's Week 7 carries in a backfield that also includes Alexander Mattison -- who started while White was sidelined -- and change-of-pace option Ameer Abdullah. In the four games he's played in, White has recorded 49 carries for 152 yards and caught five of his seven targets for 16 yards.

Raiders' Zamir White: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
White (groin) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
White, who has missed two straight games, now has two more chances to upgrade his practice participation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Rams. If he's able to return to action this weekend, he'll have an opportunity to reclaim a key role in the Raiders backfield. Even if White technically starts Week 7, he's still likely to share carries with Alexander Mattison, while third-stringer Ameer Abdullah remains on hand as a change-of-pace option.

Raiders' Zamir White: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
White is on the verge of losing his job, and there's no reason to start him in the majority of Fantasy leagues in Week 5. He's scored 6.8 PPR points or less in every game this season, he hasn't scored a touchdown, and he hasn't caught a pass in the past two games. It's time for the Raiders to turn to Alexander Mattison, who is worth using as a flex against the Broncos. White should be kept on your bench, or you might consider cutting him if you need a roster spot.
