The Saints sent veteran linebacker Deion Jones to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for running back Zamir White, addressing Saints’ need at RB with Kamara out with an MCL sprain while the 49ers add depth amid backfield injuries; Jones reunites with 49ers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, and White had joined SF earlier in August.
San Francisco trades Zamir White to acquire veteran linebacker Deion Jones, reconnecting with coaches who know his playmaking and special-teams value; Jones brings pass-rush ability to the 49ers' linebacker corps and could impact roster battles as injuries and competition tighten the depth chart.
After the first day of NFL free agency, Zamir White emerges as the de facto RB1 for the Las Vegas Raiders following Josh Jacobs' departure, while Thayer Munford Jr. is poised to compete for the right tackle spot and Andre James re-signs as the starting center. Additionally, Maxx Crosby's impact is set to increase with the arrival of defensive tackle Wilkins, potentially elevating the Raiders' defense to new heights.
The Las Vegas Raiders set a franchise record with 63 points in their dominant win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Malcolm Koonce stood out with two strip sacks and a career-high grade, while Jack Jones had a bounce-back performance with an interception returned for a touchdown. Zamir White had a career-high rushing yards and his first NFL touchdown, and Tre Tucker scored his first career touchdowns. Divine Deablo had an impressive performance with 12 tackles, and Aidan O'Connell had his best game as a rookie quarterback. Thayer Munford Jr. and Jermaine Eluemunor kept Khalil Mack quiet, and Antonio Pierce made a strong case for the full-time head coach position.
The Las Vegas Raiders dominated the Los Angeles Chargers in their Thursday Night Football matchup, with Aidan O'Connell throwing four passing touchdowns and multiple players finding the end zone. Zamir White stepped up in the absence of injured running back Josh Jacobs, while Joshua Palmer made a successful return from injury for the Chargers. The Chargers may need a new running back as Austin Ekeler struggled, and Isaiah Spiller took on a larger role. Gerald Everett emerged as a favorite target for Easton Stick, and the Chargers tight end is worth considering for fantasy purposes.
With Josh Jacobs out due to a knee injury, Zamir White could be a viable option at RB for fantasy football teams in Week 15. While White hasn't had many opportunities to showcase his skills, he could be the better early-down and short-yardage option if Jacobs is inactive. However, White would still be a high-risk, moderate-reward candidate and should only be considered in the absence of Jacobs.
