James White catches eight passes in Patriots' victory

New England Patriots running back James White ran twice for 11 yards in Week 2, adding eight catches for 85 yards as his team defeated the New Orleans Saints 36-20.

What It Means:

With so many Patriots receivers banged up White took on an integral role in the passing game in this one. After receiving 13 touches in Week 1, White settled in at 10 in Week 2. New England's commitment to a committee backfield will always curb White's fantasy ceiling, but his usage through two games gives him a nice weekly floor. The Patriots host the Houston Texans in Week 3.

White totaled 13.6 FanDuel points in Week 2. He registered 4.67 Receiving Net Expected Points, per numberFire live.
