Yahoo Only: James White, RB, New England Patriots

ESPN Ownership: 97.5%
Yahoo Ownership: 50.0%

You're likely out of luck if your league is on ESPN, but if you're in the half of Yahoo leagues in which he's available, James White is worth a long look, especially if you're in a PPR league.

Mike Gillislee and his three touchdowns drew all of the attention, but White led New England Patriots running backs in snaps in Week 1, being on the field for 53% of the team's offensive plays while no other back cracked 30%.

White tied for fourth on the team with five targets in that one, and his ability to play in the slot as well as in the backfield means that the potential absence of Danny Amendola (concussion) could mean an uptick in White's passing game work -- something that will always be valuable in fantasy when it's tied to Tom Brady's offense.
