Fantasy Impact:

White popped up suddenly on the injury report after practicing in full all week, but there should be no hesitation about his status due to his "illness" designation. However, the third-year pro is averaging just 2.1 yards per carry, far below his already uninspiring career average of 3.6 — though he has been done little favor by his offensive line, which has allowed White negative yards before contact on his rushing attempts, the only of 49 qualified RBs with a sub-zero average. If there was a time to get right, it is now, as fans clamor for rookie RB Bucky Irving to see more touches.
