Zamir White: My Favourite Sleeper RB

[gogobradyarm]

Definitely a guy I’m excited about as a low cost with upside candidate that could be a decent RB2. I’m holding unless i get a first.

[wickerkat1212]

Yep. Holding. I think he can be a solid RB2 with upside weekly splashes.

What are the chances they bring someone else in or trade someone?

Nearly 100%. Very unlikely they go into the year with only Zamir. It’s doubly important to have a good run game with their QB situation. How much they spend will let us know how confident they are in him. If they bring in CEH on a minimal contract then they are very confident. If they spend their 2nd or 3rd round pick on a RB then they don’t think he is the answer.

100%. The GM literally said so.

Telesco: "From what I've seen he's a very good player. He has size, he has speed, he has some nice vision, had some production late in the year. But the way we're going to play and the way a lot of teams play, is you need more than one back. I don't really see a lead-back type thing. You've got to have more than one, you need to have two, you need to have three. They all have different roles with the team. The way this game is played it's hard to put that all on one person

If Jacobs comes back? That percentage likely drops.

Basically, you have to believe Zamir has the talent to lead a backfield to be optimistic here.

On the good side: the Rookie Class only has a few true hitters that would challenge him for the role.
On the bad side: the FA RB class is incredibly stacked.

Has anyone moved him or bought him? Curious if there have been any real prices.

I have him and Jacobs in one league so I’ll hold. In another, he’s my RB2/3 in a rebuild so I might kick the tires on a deal.

I have both Jacobs and White as well, holding both.

Have one share. Salary cap league on league minimum contract so I'm holding for now. I doubt anyone would pay me anything for him.

Zamir isn't a 3 down back, and he wasn't used that way last year. The key, IMO, is that he's their early down back. He showed he could be a viable receiving option being their early down back, with check downs. He's not going to catch 60 passes, but if he's the early down back, he won't catch 15, either.

He can be a solid RB2 if he gets the gig. It will be interesting to see if the Raiders pay up in FA. I'd personally like to see the Raiders spend elsewhere, as they have way more pressing needs.

Zamir or Jameson Williams? Who ya got?

Zamir, and mainly because Jameson’s trajectory is scary. There have basically been zero wars who have had the start JWilliams has and turned out to be even decent from a fantasy perspective.

Zamir or Jameson Williams? Who ya got?

Both are pretty similar. Neither of these guys are high percentage plays, so for me it would just depend on team makeup I guess. Contending and need RB depth dart throws? White. Otherwise, Jameson is going to have more trade value currently. It's not unheard of for WRs to develop over their first three seasons, we are just pretty spoiled lately with these guys coming out of college pro ready jumping into these offensive schemes that run primarily spread formations.

If I were trying to guess on which WR would have a Nico Collins (or D Adams, R White, DThomas, JNelson, very long list) type third year, it would be a guy who has talent, draft capital, and opportunity but had injuries and other issues (suspensions/doghouse) limiting him. But I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah, and his name is Treylon Burks! Haha I'm still holding out hope...

Burks is another good one, if he can be had cheap enough. Neither guy has done themselves many favors in the NFL.

I thought his name was Jerry Jeudy? Man...when will we learn?
