James White News
New England Patriots running back James White announced his retirement from professional football on Thursday on his official Twitter account. White played in just three games in 2021 due to a hip injury that he was still attempting to come back from this summer. The 30-year-old former fourth-rounder will now hang up his cleats and will finish his eight-year career (all with the Patriots) with 381 catches (511 targets) for 3,278 yards and 25 touchdowns, adding 1,278 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 319 carries in 95 games. With White out of the picture in 2022, it will mean bigger roles for Rhamondre Stevenson, Ty Montgomery and rookie Pierre Strong Jr.
There remains no clear timetable for New England Patriots running back James White (hip) to return after undergoing hip surgery, according to a source. It's possible that he remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start the regular season, but the team still has several more weeks to evaluate his recovery and decide if he's ready to practice before the end of the preseason. If White starts the season on the PUP, he'd be forced to miss at least four games. The 30-year-old continues to fall on draft boards the longer he remains out, while at the same time Rhamondre Stevenson's fantasy stock continues to rise as a change-of-pace option alongside Damien Harris. Harris is the best fantasy bet, but rookie Pierre Strong Jr. could also be involved, making this backfield more frustrating from a fantasy standpoint.
The New England Patriots placed running back James White (hip), center David Andrews (shoulder), cornerback Jonathan Jones (shoulder), linebacker Raekwon McMillan (knee) and safety Jabrill Peppers (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list to open training camp. They can come off the list at any time, but they can't practice with the team until they are activated. White is recovering from surgery on his right hip and was seen recently with a limp, so it's no real surprise he's not ready for the start of camp. The 30-year-old veteran should once again be a change-of-pace, pass-catching option for New England's backfield behind Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson, but rookie Pierre Strong Jr. could take away valuable snaps. White will be a late-round flier in deep PPR leagues, at best.
