A 2022 fourth-round pick, White actually started ahead of James Cook when the two were at Georgia in 2020-21. Cook was drafted earlier and saw more immediate opportunity in the NFL, but White came on strong late last season after an injury to workhorse Josh Jacobs, who subsequently left for Green Bay in free agency. The Raiders settled for Alexander Mattison as their veteran backfield addition and didn't draft a RB until the sixth round, making it likely White enters Week 1 as the team's starter and best pure runner. Coach Antonio Pierce has made it clear he wants to run the ball a lot -- dating back to his stint as interim coach last year -- and there's a chance that volume could bring the best out of White as he gets the chance to wear down defenses. Where things get more sketchy is on the question of pass-catching production. White appears to be below average as a passing-down back, to the point that even Mattison would likely grade as the better option there. If White isn't getting many targets, his workloads could fluctuate wildly from week to week on a team that's set to start either Gardner Minshew or Aidan O'Connell under center. There's not much question the Raiders want to run a lot, but actually doing so partially depends on being competitive.

By now it is easy enough to see what Singletary is -- a high-motor runner who will never go down easy, but also one who lacks long-range speed and struggles to produce as a pass catcher. The question of Singletary's 2024 fantasy upside depends on how much the Giants value his solid but somewhat limited profile and whether they can field a competent offense. The lack of experienced alternatives or early draft picks in New York's backfield suggests Singletary has a chance to top his career highs of 216 carries (2023) and 52 targets (2022). Saquon Barkley saw 247 carries and 60 targets in 14 games last year, and Singletary might have a similar volume ceiling despite being an inferior player. It's fair to worry that a 5-foot-8, 203-pound back might wilt under such a heavy workload, though Singletary had no such problems in college at Florida Atlantic, taking 562 carries in his final 26 games (21.6 carries per game). He's also held up well in the NFL with smaller workloads, playing every possible game four straight seasons. Of course, the 2024 Giants offense will likely be significantly worse than the offenses Singletary played in with the Bills and Texans, so this probably won't be the most efficient season of his career.

Murray missed the first half of last season recovering from ACL surgery. Perhaps to be expected, he didn’t look like his usual dual-threat self upon returning Week 10, with his passing particularly rusty. His last three games, though, showed marked improvement as he averaged 241 passing yards with six TDs and one interception. Murray rarely looked deep in his eight games, ranking 27th in downfield rate as just 7.8 percent of his attempts traveled beyond 20 yards. His 7.3-yard average target depth ranked 22nd, his 6.7 YPA 24th. When he did go deep, he wasn’t good, completing nine of 28 attempts for one TD and three INTs. In Murray’s defense, he didn’t have much to work with. That’s not the case this year after the Cardinals made Marvin Harrison the fourth overall pick in the draft and signed former Jags wideout Zay Jones. Those two will join TE Trey McBride, a 2022 second-round pick who broke out for 825 yards last season, and WR Michael Wilson, a 2023 third-round pick who had 565 yards on 58 targets last year (9.7 YPT). Murray’s rushing production gives him a solid fantasy floor, now more than a year and a half removed from the knee injury. He’ll need that to be a top 10 fantasy QB, as his lack of height (5-10) and inconsistent track record suggest he's unlikely to be an elite passer even with the upgraded pass-catching corps. He’ll also need good health -- he missed at least three games in each of the last three seasons, playing 33 of a possible 51 contests.
