News

  • Announces retirement

    White has announced his retirement from the NFL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old, whom the Patriots took in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft, had been working his way back from a significant hip injury this summer, but he's now decided to end his playing career. Through much of his tenure with the franchise, White was a reliable change-of-pace back, and now that he's no longer in New England's backfield mix, players such as Pierre Strong and Ty Montgomery could see added opportunities to contribute as pass-catching backs this coming season.

  • Timetable for return TBD

    The Patriots aren't putting a timeline on White's (hip) return to practice, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The veteran change-of-pace option, who is working his way back from right hip surgery, opened training camp on the Patriots' active/PUP list. Though the team still has some time to evaluate White's progress in the coming weeks, Howe suggests that it's possible the 30-year-old could remain on the PUP list to start the season. If that comes to pass, White would be in line to miss at least four games. In such a scenario, the team would be forced to get creative in terms of filling the…read more

  • Starts training camp on PUP list

    White (hip) will open training camp on the Patriots' active/PUP list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: White's placement on the list isn't much of a surprise as he continues to bounce back from right hip surgery. The veteran change-of-pace back can return to practice at any time during training camp, but at this stage it isn't clear when White will be ready to work fully. In the meantime, returnee J.J. Taylor along with a pair of rookie draft choices, Pierre Strong (fourth round) and Kevin Harris (sixth round), are available to handle practice reps behind top early down-options Damien Harris and…read more

  • Still working back from hip injury

    ESPN's Mike Reiss relays that White, who continues to bounce back from right hip surgery, was walking with what appeared to be an uncomfortable gait after a recent community appearance.

    Analysis: The report adds that the running back is among the Patriots' players bouncing back from injuries scheduled to report to training camp next week. At that time, there should be added clarity with regard to how close White is to full strength, but it's likely he'll face initial limitations in practice. Assuming the 30-year-old avoids any setbacks, he'll look to reclaim his change-of-pace role in a New England backfield that also includes top early-down options Damien Harris and Rhamondre…read more

  • Remains limited at minicamp

    White (hip) was limited during Wednesday's minicamp practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: White underwent season-ending hip surgery last season, so while the running back is limited, his presence at minicamp is still a positive sign. If the veteran is able to avoid any setbacks this summer, he'll likely reclaim his change-of-pace role for New England to start the 2022 campaign.

  • Limited at OTAs

    White (hip) has been a limited participant in the Patriots' OTAs, which started Monday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: White is bouncing back from season-ending hip surgery and previously noted he still has a ways to go in his recovery, so it's not surprising that he remains limited at this stage. That said, his presence at the team's OTAs, in any capacity, is a positive sign. In the absence of any setbacks this summer, While will look to reclaim his change-of-pace role in New England's backfield ahead of Week 1.

  • Back on the field

    White (hip) was spotted on the field during the Patriots' voluntary offseason workouts this week, NESN's Zack Cox reports.

    Analysis: White is bouncing back from season-ending hip surgery and previously noted that he still has a ways to go in his recovery, but his presence on the field nonetheless is an encouraging sign. It remains to be seen, however, how much (if at all) he'll participate in the team's upcoming full-squad OTAs. Assuming no setbacks this summer, White will look to reclaim his pass-catching role in a deep New England backfield that added Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris in the 2022 NFL Draft.

  • Bouncing back from hip issue

    White (hip) isn't expected to be ready for the Patriots' upcoming voluntary offseason workouts, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports. "I still have a little while to go [after] a pretty rough injury," White acknowledged after the 2022 NFL Draft.

    Analysis: It remains to be seen when the veteran change-of-pace back will be fully cleared, but in the meantime added opportunities behind top early-down options Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson will be available for draftees Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris, as well as returnee J.J. Taylor. Assuming he reproves his health in advance of Week 1, White is poised to reclaim his pass-catching role in New England's backfield, but considering the team's depth on that front, the 30-year-old may be…read more

  • Back with Patriots

    White (hip) has agreed to a two-year deal to remain with the Patriots, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old is reportedly recovering well from season-ending hip surgery, and now that he's back in the fold, the 2014 fourth-rounder is poised to reclaim his change-of-pace role in New England's backfield. In that capacity, White should yield a degree of PPR utility in 2022 while working alongside top early-down options Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson.

  • Progressing in recovery

    White is "doing great" after his 2021 season was abbreviated due to a hip subluxation that required surgery Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: Prior to getting hurt after just six offensive snaps in the Pats' Week 3 matchup with the Saints, White gathered in 12 of 14 targets for 94 yards, averaged 3.8 yards on 10 carries and had one rushing touchdown. The seven-year pro is a soon-to-be free agent, so it'll be interesting to see if he sticks with the only organization he's known. Currently, the Patriots have Damien Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson, J.J. Taylor and Devine Ozigbo locked into their backfield for 2022.

  • Limited to three games in 2021

    White (hip) finished the 2021 season with 10 carries for 38 yards and a rushing touchdown to go along with 12 catches (on 14 targets) for 94 yards in three games.

    Analysis: White opened the season in his usual change-of-pace role, but a hip subluxation that the running back suffered in Week 3 landed him on IR. The 2014 fourth-rounder, who turns 30 on Feb. 3, is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason after having signed a one-year deal with the Patriots last March. Brandon Bolden, who absorbed a large portion of White's expected workload this past season, is also a pending unrestricted free agent, so it remains to be seen who will be joining…read more

  • Placed on IR

    White (hip) has been placed on IR by the Patriots.

    Analysis: The move isn't surprising after it was reported that the hip subluxation White suffered in this past Sunday's game against the Saints was expected to be a season-ending injury. With White now out of the Patriots' backfield picture, look for Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor to absorb a good chunk of White's change-of-pace duties behind lead back Damien Harris, while rookie Rhamondre Stevenson (a healthy scratch in two straight contests) is a candidate to be active for Sunday's game against the…read more

  • Hip injury likely season-ending

    The hip subluxation that White suffered in Sunday's loss to the Saints is expected to be a season-ending injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Look for the veteran pass-catching back to land on injured reserve in the coming days, while the Patriots will now scramble to replace one of the team's most reliable players for the long haul. In his absence, look for Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor to absorb a portion of White's change-of-pace duties, while Rhamondre Stevenson is a candidate to be active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, following back-to-back healthy scratches.

  • Multi-week absence expected

    White suffered a subluxation of the hip Week 3 against the Saints and will be out indefinitely, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rapoport adds that White is undergoing further testing, but the receiving back likely will have to go on IR, which would entail an absence no shorter than three weeks. White almost certainly will miss Sunday's game against the Buccaneers and additional time on top of that.

  • Suffers hip injury

    White suffered a hip injury during Sunday's game against the Saints, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With White, who had carried just once for six yards, already ruled out for the remainder of the contest after being carted off, Damien Harris will continue to head New England's Week 3 backfield, with J.J. Taylor, and perhaps Brandon Bolden, now options to absorb change-of-pace snaps, given that Rhamondre Stevenson is once again inactive.

  • Finds paydirt in easy win

    White rushed five times for 20 yards and a touchdown while catching all six of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 25-6 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: White split backfield duties with Damien Harris, who compiled 62 rushing yards and a touchdown. The veteran receiving back showed that he can still be a threat on the ground as well, waltzing into the end zone from seven yards out to give New England a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. White also ended up leading the team in receiving yards as rookie quarterback Mac Jones dinked and dunked to avoid mistakes. His usage as both a rusher and a receiver keeps White involved regardless of game script,…read more

  • Active in receiving game

    White tallied six receptions on seven targets for 49 yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Miami. He added four rushes for 12 yards.

    Analysis: White served his expected role primarily as a receiver out of the backfield. He tied for the team lead with six receptions, often becoming involved as a checkdown option for Mac Jones. However, he was also seemingly targeted on designed plays, as he connected with Jones for a 26-yard reception deep down the field -- the team's longest gain through the air on the day. Though White won't project to fill a typical role as a back, he appears to have safe volume as one of Jones' favorite targets.

  • Looks to click with new QB

    White reportedly showed good chemistry with new starting QB Mac Jones in training camp, Mike Dussault of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: White's coming off a 2020 campaign in which he recorded 35 carries for 121 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 49 catches on 62 targets for 375 yards and a receiving score in 14 games. While those stats were down a bit from recent years, it's plausible that the 29-year could engineer a bounce back in 2021, given his reported rapport with Jones as well as the fact that he'll be operating within an offense that figures to be buoyed by the addition of several new pass catchers. Meanwhile,…read more

  • Two catches Thursday

    White was on the field for five snaps on offense in Thursday's 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles, NESN's Zack Cox reports.

    Analysis: In the process, White caught two of his three targets for 13 yards. Meanwhile, presumed top back Damien Harris logged just eight snaps, while Sony Michel, Rhamondre Stevenson and J.J. Taylor handled the bulk of the team's carries Thursday. White's limited involvement in the contest isn't much of a surprise, however, given that he's a roster lock and remains entrenched in his role as New England's top change-of-pace/pass-catching back heading into the regular season.

  • Stays with Patriots

    White agreed Wednesday with the Patriots on a one-year, $2.5 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: White will be returning to New England for an eighth season in 2021 after reaching unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career. Since being drafted in the fourth round in 2014, the 29-year-old has established himself as a reliable pass-catching option out of the Patriots' backfield. This past season, White recorded 35 carries for 121 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 49 catches on 62 targets for 375 yards and a receiving score in 14 games. While those numbers were down a…read more

  • Likely staying in New England

    White is expected to re-sign with New England, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: White has yet to finalize a deal with the Patriots, but he appears set to do so in the near future. The 29-year-old is expected to reprise his role as New England's top pass-catching back, though it's a far less valuable role in the post-Tom Brady era.

  • Catches 49 passes in 2020

    White finished the 2020 season with 35 carries for 121 yards and two TDs and 49 catches on 62 targets for 375 yards and a receiving score in 14 games.

    Analysis: White's rushing and receiving production both dipped in a season in which the Patriots offense, in particular on the passing side, took a step back, as the team moved on from long-time starting QB Tom Brady. Looking ahead, it's hard to get a read on White's 2021 fantasy outlook, as the one-time PPR stalwart is eligible to become a free agent this offseason. If the 28-year-old does re-sign with New England, a plausible outcome, it remains to be seen who the team's QB will be next season, given…read more

  • Garners seven touches

    White rushed four times for 14 yards and caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Monday night's 38-9 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: White's production wasn't anything special, but he at least ranked second among New England's tailbacks with seven touches, trailing only Sony Michel and his 10. Notably, rookie J.J. Taylor gained 38 yards on his six carries and perhaps earned more totes if Damien Harris (ankle) remains sidelined in Week 17 versus the Jets. In White's favor could be the fact that Jarrett Stidham replaced Cam Newton at quarterback in the third quarter Monday. If Stidham were to start Sunday against New York, a…read more

  • Breaks 50 receiving yards

    White collected three yards over a pair of carries, adding four receptions for 52 yards during Sunday's 22-12 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Sony Michel (10 carries) garnered the majority of the Week 15 RB rushing opportunities as Damien Harris (ankle) sat out, while White characteristically filled a notable pass-catching role. The 28-year-old was in the midst of a production slump coming into the weekend, with only five catches for two yards over his preceding three appearances. The 52-yard performance from White marks his third-highest receiving total of the season, but an approaching Week 16 matchup against Buffalo causes reason…read more

  • Suits up Sunday

    White (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: With fellow running back Damien Harris (ankle) inactive, White and Sony Michel figure to garner added opportunities versus Miami. Though we'd expect Michel to lead the way on early downs, White could see enough change-of-pace/passing-down work Sunday to merit lineup consideration in PPR formats.

  • Should be active Sunday

    White (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, is expected to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Volume has been an issue for White of late, but with fellow running back Damien Harris (ankle) having been ruled out, White and Sony Michel should have added opportunities Week 15. While Michel should lead the way on early downs, White could garner enough change-of-pace work Sunday to merit attention in PPR formats.

  • Questionable for Sunday's game

    White (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins after being limited at practice Wednesday through Friday.

    Analysis: White is one of 14 New England players listed as questionable for the contest, though the status of some members of that group could be known by Saturday if the team announces which ones aren't making the trip to Miami. Given White's downturn in usage in the passing game in the Cam Newton-led offense, the running back's once-stable PPR floor can't be relied upon these days.

  • Limited practice Wednesday

    White was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a foot injury.

    Analysis: White was one of 13 New England players listed as limited on the team's first Week 15 report. Since the foot issue is a new one for White, his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins is worth monitoring. That said, considering White's current level of volume in the Patriots' Cam Newton-led offense, he's no longer a dependable weekly fantasy option, even in PPR formats.

  • Three carries in Week 14

    White carried three times for 16 yards and caught one of his two targets for two yards in Thursday's 24-3 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Given his current volume in the Patriots' Cam Newton-led offense, White's once-stable PPR floor no longer can be relied on. The change-of-pace back's fantasy utility down the stretch will hinge on game flows, and while it's possible he'll see more targets in the coming weeks, he profiles as a speculative lineup option these days.

  • Unproductive in blowout win

    White gained one yard on three receptions in Sunday's 45-0 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: White thrives when the Patriots are trying to overcome a deficit, which is something they didn't face all afternoon. In turn, Damien Harris and Sony Michel both registered double-digit carries, while White's usage was contained. Next week's game against the Rams figures to be a tight matchup between two tough defenses, and it could be tough to depend on White with Michel healthy and being trusted in the offense again.

  • Scores both TDs in Week 12 win

    White rushed five times for 18 yards and two touchdowns while catching his lone target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: White took a 4th-and-2 pitch to the house from seven yards out for New England's first points, then found the end zone again from one yard out to help the Patriots take a 17-10 third-quarter lead. His nose for the end zone made up for a surprising lack of involvement in the passing game, but White was the only running back to see a target from quarterback Cam Newton. With Rex Burkhead (knee) on IR, White should remain involved on passing situations while mixing in near the goal line in Week 13…read more

  • Gets 11 touches with Burkhead hurt

    White rushed five times for 19 yards and caught six of nine targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Rex Burkhead (knee) was carted off, per Darren Hartwell of Yahoo Sports, leaving White with a near monopoly on pass-catching duties out of the backfield as New England tried to climb out of a second-half hole. White set a new season best with 84 scrimmage yards while tying his season high in targets, and Burkhead's expected absence in Week 12 should leave White with a prominent role in passing situations against the Cardinals.

  • Catches two passes in Week 10

    White caught both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: White, who logged 10 of a possible 58 snaps on offense, didn't record a carry Sunday, as the team leaned on Damien Harris (22 carries for 121 yards) and Rex Burkhead (six carries for 31 yards and four catches for 35 yards and two TDs) in a contest affected by windy and rainy conditions. While future game scripts and game flows should yield more productive days for White going forward, his fantasy floor these days is limited by his minimal involvement as a rusher and his modest volume of late in…read more

  • Catches four passes Monday

    White carried twice for zero yards and caught four of his five targets for 24 yards in Monday's 30-27 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Six games into his 2020 campaign, White has made a minimal impact as a ball-carrier, logging 16 carries for 51 yards in that span. While his numbers are down from past seasons in the team's Cam Newton-led attack, the 28-year-old change-of-pace back does still retain some value in PPR formats, having recorded 25 catches on 30 targets for 195 yards to date.

  • Two catches in fourth straight loss

    White rushed twice for no gain and caught two of four targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: White isn't making much of an impact for a Patriots offense that's averaging only 12.3 points per game during the team's four-game losing streak. A Week 9 matchup with the winless Jets should help boost White's outlook, but he's still searching for his first touchdown of 2020 after scoring 12 in 2018 and six last year.

  • Quiet in Week 7

    White caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 33-6 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: White, who didn't log a carry in the contest, was only on the field for 10 snaps Sunday after missing practice both Wednesday and Thursday for non-injury reasons. The Patriots offense was out of sync for most of the contest, and White, who had logged 15 catches over his previous two games, was surprisingly a non-factor. He'll look to bounce back Week 8 against the Bills, but New England's offense looked so sluggish against the 49ers that it can't be assumed a strong bounce-back is in order for…read more

  • Returns to practice

    White (not injury-related) was back at practice Friday, Andrew Callahan of The Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: White returned to the practice field Friday after two consecutive absences. He's therefore on track for his usual passing-down role Sunday against the 49ers. White's only averaging four carries through three games to date, but he's maintained PPR relevance by hauling in 18 of his 20 targets for 133 yards in that span.

  • Misses practice again Thursday

    White (non-injury related) remained absent from practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: White's status thus is worth monitoring in advance of this weekend's game against the 49ers. The Patriots' change-of-pace ace made a mark in PPR formats Week 6 by carrying four times for eight yards and catching eight of his nine targets for 65 yards in this past Sunday's 18-12 loss to Denver.

  • Eight catches as Newton struggles

    White rushed four times for eight yards and caught eight of nine targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 18-12 loss to Denver.

    Analysis: White accounted for all of New England's receiving production in the first quarter with three catches for 29 yards, and he ended up leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards on a dismal passing day for quarterback Cam Newton (157 yards, two interceptions). If Newton's inability to push the ball downfield accurately persists against the 49ers in Week 7, White should maintain a significant role in the passing game as a check-down option out of the backfield.

  • Broncos-Patriots postponed to Week 6

    White and the Patriots won't play the Broncos on Monday after the game was postponed until Week 6 due to a third positive COVID-19 test in the New England organization within the past eight days, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Patriots and the Broncos are now tentatively scheduled to play Sunday, Oct. 18 in Week 6, which was originally a scheduled bye week for New England. Denver, meanwhile, had been in line to host the Dolphins, but Miami now looks poised to take its bye Week 6.

  • Compiles 59 total yards in return

    White (personal) rushed three times for 21 yards and brought in seven of eight targets for 38 yards in the Patriots' 26-10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

    Analysis: Making his return from a two-game absence, White walked into a makeshift backfield missing Sony Michel (quadriceps). However, Michel's absence didn't equate to a bump in opportunities on the ground for White, who instead paced the Patriots in receptions and checked in second in both receiving yardage and targets. With Damien Harris (17 carries, 100 yards) performing well as the clear lead back Monday night, White projects for his usual receiving-heavy role in a Week 5 home battle against the…read more

  • Returns to team

    White (personal) rejoined the Patriots for practice Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Analysis: Damien Harris (finger) was also participating in practice for the first time during the regular season, joining White, Rex Burkhead, Sony Michel and J.J. Taylor to give the team five healthy running backs. White's role as the primary pass catcher seems secure, but everything else in the backfield appears up for grabs. Even White's usage on passing downs was disappointing in his lone appearance this season Week 1, when he was limited to a 30-percent snap share and three targets in a win over the…read more

    Analysis: White was away from the team for its second practice in a row while he spends time with his family following the tragic passing of his father. The Patriots haven't indicated when White may return to the team, so the running back could miss a second straight game Sunday against the Raiders.

    White (personal) is listed as inactive Sunday at Seattle.

    Analysis: Due to a death in his family, White isn't with the Patriots as they open their road slate for the 2020 season, according to Andy Slater of Fox Sports 640 South Florida. There's no telling when White will rejoin his teammates, but in the meantime the Patriots backfield will be manned by Sony Michel, Rex Burkhead and undrafted rookie J.J. Taylor.

  • Eight touches in season opener

    White rushed five times for 22 yards and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 21-11 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: White's eight touches ranked second among New England's running backs behind Sony Michel's 10 (all carries). The Super Bowl LI hero's receiving skills should come into play more when New England falls behind, but the Patriots played from ahead throughout this contest, thus limiting White's impact. White should provide a handful of carries and receptions against the Seahawks in Week 2.

  • Back on practice field

    White returned to practice Monday, Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal reports.

    Analysis: White's absence from practice Sunday may have just been a matter of maintenance. He's locked on for his usual role as a pass-catching specialist, while the competition for carries in New England has become a major source of intrigue. It is possible White could pick up a few extra snaps this year if the Patriots aren't happy with what they see from the combination of Damien Harris, Rex Burkhead, Sony Michel (foot) and Lamar Miller (knee).

  • Misses practice Sunday

    White (undisclosed) didn't practice Sunday, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Analysis: As long as White's absence isn't something that lingers, he'll remain on track to handle his usual key change-of-pace/pass-catching role in the team's 2020 offense. Meanwhile, the Patriots' early-down situation is a work in progress, with both Sony Michel (foot) and Lamar Miller (knee) still on the PUP list. Their absences have opened the door for second-year player Damien Harris to potentiality emerge as a key cog in the team's ground game to start the coming season.

  • Ready for leadership role

    White says he will be more vocal now that the Patriots don't have Tom Brady as a leader in the locker room, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports.

    Analysis: White enters his seventh NFL season as a team captain, with 301 of his 322 career receptions coming from Brady's right arm. The transition to catching passes from Jarrett Stidham and/or Brian Hoyer may come with some bumps, but White remains a good bet to average at least five or six targets per game. It's also possible he sees a bit more work on the ground, though Sony Michel (ankle), Rex Burkhead and Damien Harris also will be battling for carries. Michel is recovering from May foot surgery,…read more

  • Produces as pass catcher

    White carried the ball once for 14 yards in the team's wild-card round loss to the Titans. He added five receptions for 62 yards.

    Analysis: White led the Patriots in both receptions and yards, providing a spark for the offense that was otherwise lacking. Notably, White accounted for three of the team's six longest plays, highlighted by a 29-yard screen pass on the first possession of the game. White once again proved to be a weapon as a pass catcher throughout the campaign, totaling 645 yards and five scores through the air. Though less productive on the ground, he's carved out a clear niche in the Patriots' offense and will be…read more

  • Receiving TD in Week 17 loss

    White rushed twice for four yards and secured all three targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 27-24 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: White played a typically minor role in the running game, but he salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with his fifth receiving score of the season in the fourth quarter. The versatile back finished the regular season with multiple catches in all but one of his 15 games and will look to play his usual complementary role in next weekend's wild-card matchup against the Titans.

  • Catches four passes Saturday

    White logged 33 of a possible 73 snaps on offense in Saturday's 24-17 win over the Bills, en route to carrying three times for five yards and catching four of his five targets for 24 yards.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Sony Michel ran 21 times for 96 yards, adding a five-yard reception, and Rex Burkhead ran five times for 20 yards and a TD while catching four passes for 77 yards. Burkhead's increased involvement in the passing game Saturday cut into White's production, but looking ahead to Week 17 and the playoffs, White, who remains a trusted target of QB Tom Brady, should see enough targets to merit PPR consideration.

  • Nabs receiving touchdown

    White caught three of four targets for 49 yards and a touchdown and added 13 yards on three carries during Sunday's 34-13 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: White got New England on the board early in the first quarter, taking a quick screen for a 23-yard touchdown as he twisted and turned through Cincinnati's defense. White now has three receiving touchdowns in December after just two total touchdowns in his first 11 games and a general late-November lull in production. The storyline in New England has been that Tom Brady lacks trust in the majority of his potential targets. White and Julian Edelman may be the only exceptions, so it's reasonable…read more

  • Leads backfield in loss

    White carried the ball six times for 33 yards and caught five of seven targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Despite the modest numbers, White was the most consistent member of the Patriots' backfield on the afternoon. Sony Michel, Rex Burkhead and Brandon Bolden combined for only 33 rushing yards on 13 carries, although Bolden did find the end zone. White will try to take advantage of another plus matchup Week 15 on the road against the Bengals' porous defense.

  • Puts up monster line in defeat

    White rushed 14 times for 79 yards and caught eight passes (11 targets) for 98 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: New England's offense was stagnant for nearly three quarters, but White caught fire in the fourth and finished with a monstrous fantasy performance. The receiving specialist did most of his damage in the passing game, but it is worth noting that he also finished with more carries than early-down back, Sony Michel, for just the second time this season. Game flow likely dictated this unusual carry split, but White could be in store for a similar workload next Sunday against the Chiefs in the…read more

  • Just two carries Sunday

    White logged 21 of a possible 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 13-9 win over the Cowboys, en route to carrying twice for five yards and catching one pass (on three targets) In for minus-6 yards.

    Analysis: In rainy conditions at Foxborough on Sunday, lead back Sony Michel recorded 20 carries for 85 yards, while QB Tom Brady was limited to 17 completions and 190 passing yards. White thus turned in his second straight low-impact outing, following a previous string of PPR-worthy efforts. He'll no doubt have games going forward where he's more involved in the Patriots' passing attack, but with Rex Burkhead also in the team's change-of-pace mix, White's fantasy utility down the stretch largely will…read more

  • Minimal impact against Eagles

    White carried the ball five times for 20 yards and caught four of seven targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Eagles. He also ran for a two-point conversion.

    Analysis: The two-pointer helped salvage what was otherwise a quiet performance, as White produced his fewest scrimmage yards since Week 2. The running back has seen at least five targets in six of the last seven games, however, and his steady role in the passing game gives him a solid PPR floor heading into next week's tilt against the Cowboys.

  • Scores rare rushing touchdown

    White had nine carries for 38 yards and a touchdown, adding 46 more yards on two receptions (three targets) in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: White churned out a rare performance in which he had more of an impact on the ground than through the air. The 27-year-old picked a great time to score his first rushing touchdown of the season, as he was limited to a season-low three targets and two receptions. White popped up on the injury report Friday with a minor toe injury, but he didn't seem to be hampered by the issue. New England suffered its first loss of the season and was playing from behind for most of the contest, which is why its…read more

  • Suits up Sunday

    White (toe) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: When White was added to the Patriots' Week 9 injury report on Friday it was a concern, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network subsequently noted that the running back's toe injury was viewed as a very minor issue. Assuming no in-game setbacks, White will continue to serve as the Patriots' primary change-of-pace back, a role that has limited him to 23 carries for 66 yards in seven games to date, but has also yielded a PPR-friendly 42 catches (on 52 targets) for 358 yards and a TD.

    White, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, is dealing with a toe injury that is described as "very minor," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: While Rapoport isn't reporting that White is a lock to play in Week 9, the description of the injury the running back suffered in Friday's practice seemingly points to him suiting up. That being said, fantasy managers may have to sweat out White's availability, as the Patriots won't release their inactive list until 90 minutes before the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Rex Burkhead (foot) and Brandon Bolden would be the primary beneficiaries of added change-of-pace work if White is limited or held out…read more

    White (toe) traveled with the team to Baltimore ahead of Sunday night's game against the Ravens, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: White was given a questionable designation on the Patriots' final injury report, and his traveling to Baltimore is certainly cause for optimism. Still, more clarity on the situation should still come earlier Sunday. Rex Burkhead (foot) and Brandon Bolden would presumably be in line for White's typical change-of-pace role out of the backfield should White ultimately not suit up.

    Analysis: White is one of eight players that the team lists as questionable ahead of its 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Added clarity on White's status could come at some point early Sunday, but if he ends up sitting out, Rex Burkhead (foot) and Brandon Bolden could be in the mix for change-of-pace work in the New England backfield.
