00:00We head out to Las Vegas now, where it is a new name for some

00:08little bit more casual fans, but there could really be a great

00:11opportunity in the backfield.

00:13Let's talk.

00:14Yeah, Zamir White already showed you last year he can handle the

00:17workload of a one.

00:19He's got the pedigree, right?

00:20He was a good college running back from a college that spurns

00:23out, you know, running back university kind of guy.

00:26So Zamir White is going to be playing with, let's be honest,

00:29below average quarterback play, whether it's Gardner Mitchell or

00:32Aiden O'Connell.

00:33At the end of the day, they're going to have to play defense

00:35around the football.

00:36That's going to be the Raiders M.O.

00:37And look to their credit.

00:38That's what they did when they went in there and they upset

00:40Kansas City and in December, everybody was looking around

00:43each other.

00:44What did we just see?

00:45So Vegas is going to be interesting in that standpoint,

00:48but they are going to be a run-heavy team and Zamir White

00:50is that guy.

00:51They really didn't do anything else in the draft that makes you

00:53think otherwise.

00:54Josh Jacobs is now in Green Bay.

00:56So this is a bell cow running back that I think you want to

00:59pay up for.

01:00And if you look at what's going on right now, in terms of his

01:01value, I think it's really interesting that Josh Jacobs is

01:05going 10th overall and then Zamir White is going as the 22nd

01:09running back overall.

01:11That does not compute for me.

01:12I'd much rather take the right and much rather take

01:15Zamir White, who I think by the time we get to potentially

01:18August 1st, he's going to be more like the 15th running back

01:21going overall.

01:22I could see that happening.

01:23So Zamir White's a guy, early ADP risers keep an eye on him

01:27because the backfield is his.

01:29You're going to have to run the football.

01:30So that's all going in the right direction for his fantasy value.

01:33That's exactly the kind of running back you want, lower

01:35draft capital, has the job, no competition, offense committed

01:40to running the football.

01:41That works for me.
