This past Saturday, the city of Las Vegas witnessed an exciting display of football as the Raiders faced off against the Dallas Cowboys in a preseason game. The spotlight was on Raiders’ running back Zamir White, who once again showcased his talents by participating in eight drives, rotating in and out with teammates Alexander Mattison and Dylan Laube.
In this matchup, White kicked things off by taking the lead on the first two drives. Mattison served as the primary passing-down back, stepping in on the third drive for nine snaps. The return of White for the fourth drive raised eyebrows, especially as other key players and offensive linemen were already on the sidelines. Throughout the second quarter, White shared the workload, with Laube gaining some valuable snaps in passing situations.
What stood out was White’s involvement in the second half, a rarity for starting running backs in preseason games. His performance sparked discussions about the potential for a slightly crowded backfield as the season approaches. Unlike previous years where starting running backs typically sit out the second half, White continues to make a case for significant playing time, although some analysts now see him leaning more toward a rotational role rather than a featured back.
Meanwhile, over with the Houston Texans, the status of rookie wide receiver Tank Dell remains uncertain. Though he could be poised for a fantasy breakout season, his gameplay in the last match raised questions about his target volume. Dell missed action in twelve personnel sets but still has the potential to deliver explosive performances.
As preseason unfolds, teams are fine-tuning their strategies and evaluating player usage. Fans and fantasy football enthusiasts eagerly look forward to how these developments will unfold as the regular season approaches.
With numerous players vying for positions and maximizing their snaps, it’s clear that the preseason isn’t just a warm-up; it’s a crucial time for players to secure their places on the roster and showcase their talents.
