The Las Vegas Raiders will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Zamir White.
Is Zamir White Playing in Week 7?
Zamir White (groin) returned to practice on Wednesday after sitting out the Raiders’ Week 6 loss to the Steelers. White got in limited practices every day this week and is questionable for Sunday’s game.
Last week, White didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday before managing a limited session on Friday. That he’s practiced to start the week suggests he’s building up from where he ended last week.
White had already been losing work to fellow RB Alexander Mattison, who played 68% of Vegas’ snaps against Pittsburgh. Mattison averaged just 2.36 yards per carry but scored a rushing touchdown while adding five catches for 32 yards.

Should You Start or Sit Zamir White in Week 7?
A nagging groin injury cost White his second consecutive game, and while this is a plus matchup, rostering him is aggressive, let alone starting him.
This summer, the idea behind drafting White was based solely on volume. We saw the Raiders give him 20+ touches in four straight games to end last season with Josh Jacobs sidelined. Thus, we assumed that, given White’s ADP, simply holding onto that role would be enough to return value.
White hasn’t been productive when active (3.1 yards per carry with his last catch coming more than a month ago), and the role is no longer a certainty. If you’re holding onto White, it’s more of a statement on the lack of options on your waiver wire than any level of confidence that he walks back into an impactful role moving forward.
