My bad on the negative vibes earlier hope I didn't spook James or something 🤷♂️ Hopefully the Pats offense is better moving forward this guy is a nice depth piece on my team.

Drewfus 128 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Gotta start him this week. 10 snaps in week 7 is very concerning. He was out of practice last week for some non-injury reason. Anyone know if he's good to go now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeHateMe23 119 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Dropped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jetdog16 703 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I've also dropped. Probably too early to do so but whatever. He's a low ceiling depth option. I would encourage a team that was 5-2 or 6-1 to hold on to him -- but if you're fighting for a playoff spot you may want to drop and pick up someone with more upside. Kills me cause I still believe in his value but I'll let someone else deal with the headache Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kills me cause I still believe in his value but I'll let someone else deal with the headache I think at least one more week of patience is the wise thing here. I understand dropping. He was a safe RB2 level start with his normal usage in every other game he played this year. He missed those games due to the very unfortunate passing of his father. I think that has some people feeling like he hasn't done much this year but he's pretty much been normal James White in the games he's been out there except this. One more week of what just happened and all bets are off. This offense is not good. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I completely agree with you though. What you said is the smart thing to do. I feel like at 4-3 I need to make a move for upside. We know what White will do and I'm comfortable risking losing him on waivers in order to pick up a high upside stash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chippa 1,364 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The san fran game was an outlier. The pats wont get blown out that bad again ros. When the pats are in a competitive game, White is the back to have for new england Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CooL 3,266 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I'm forced to start this fool this week. Isn't he supposed to be the most reliable? He hardly played last week in a game that they were getting creamed. WHY? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When the pats are in a competitive game, White is the back to have for new england I'd think the opposite. It would seem that a game in which they're behind by a lot would be a good game flow for White. As the receiving back in the offense, it would actually seem more optimal for him to be part of the offensive package used to try to get back into the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's been normal jake's white except for this week. Personally I'm going to hold through the Buffalo game, he should be a focal point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jetdog16 703 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Rex Burkhead is a better fit in this offense right now. Wouldn't be shocked at all if his role increases throughout the season. This isn't the Pats of old with a dominant Defense and Tom Brady behind center. They can't get as cute and creative with their looks because it just doesn't work the same. Rexy has steadily improved as a receiver and has always been well ahead of White as a runner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I'm quite high on Perine and Wayne Gallman -- I believe they will be the starters ROS. Hyde, Hasty, Tevin Coleman also high upside options. Zack Moss is still off the starter radar but I like him plenty as a stash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But White will give you a good floor without scoring a touchdown(san fran was an anomaly). He wont go the whole season without scoring a td so realistically White can net you between 8-20 points any given week. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think if they don't have a fix for this year's offense, then Harris is a good fit in this offense alongside Burkhead. I contend they need to see what they have in the kid, and both he and Burkhead are good receivers out of the backfield. And frankly, Harris can learn a lot from Burkhead. If White isn't himself this year (physically, mentally, emotionally), then it's going to be tough to keep him as involved as he's used to being. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My point is that value is not worth it to me personally and I'd rather have someone with more upside on my roster. Furthermore, I believe White is in danger of being partially phased out of this offense. Harris + Rexy give this team a better chance to win.

He went through a brutal tragedy just weeks ago. Hopefully being at work is a welcome distraction for him -- but this team is putrid and he has bigger issues on his mind. Who knows. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
