James White (non-injury) not at Patriots practice

New England Patriots running back James White (non-injury) was absent from practice on Thursday.

What It Means:

White has yet to practice this week as the Patriots prepare for a Week 7 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. He's had at least 7 catches on 8-plus targets each of the past two games and is leading the Patriots in targets in that stretch. Rex Burkhead would be more involved in the passing game if White winds up not being able to play on Sunday.

numberFire's models expect White to score 9.4 FanDuel points on Sunday and he has a salary of $5,200. He's the RB27 in our Week 7 PPR fantasy rankings. The 49ers have allowed the sixth-fewest catches to running backs this season.
