Raiders’ Zamir White is the Breakout NFL Running Back to Bet on in 2024

Who Will Be the Breakout Running Back of 2024?

With the 2024 NFL season approaching, speculation is rampant about which running back will break out and dominate the gridiron. This year, all eyes are on Zamir White of the Las Vegas Raiders, who looks poised to take over as the team’s primary back following the departure of Josh Jacobs to Green Bay.

Zamir White: Primed for a Breakout Season

The Las Vegas Raiders have an open backfield for White to command. With Jacobs now in Green Bay, the stage is set for White to seize the lead role. His primary competition, Alexander Mattison, had a disappointing 2023 season in Minnesota, which gives White an even better chance to shine. White showed glimpses of his potential last year, filling in for Jacobs when he went down with an injury.

Zamir White’ Impressive Stats from 2023

During a four-game stretch as the Raiders’ starter, White racked up 397 yards and scored two touchdowns. He averaged over 4.7 yards per carry, a statistic that would have placed him in the top 10 among all NFL running backs. His performances during that period were so convincing that the Raiders allowed Jacobs, a former first-round pick and franchise tag player, to walk away in free agency.

Las Vegas Raiders Leaning on the Run Game

The Raiders will need to rely heavily on their ground game in 2024, especially with uncertainty surrounding quarterback Gardner Minshew, who was also part of a run-heavy offense in Indianapolis last season. In Indy, the focus on the run game allowed Zack Moss to break out, and it seems Las Vegas will follow a similar strategy with White.

Betting on Zamir White’s Prop Bets

For those looking at betting lines, Zamir White’s rushing prop is set at 800.5 yards. Given his performance last year, where he was on pace to surpass this number in just nine games, he appears to be a solid bet to hit the over in 2024. With a full season as the starter, White could easily exceed expectations.
