White's role hinges on third-down split with Croskey-Merritt; catching strength

White was not brought in simply to take backup carries when Croskey-Merritt needs rest. His strength is in his ability to catch the ball coming out of the backfield and accelerate upfield. Coach Dan Quinn has mentioned White helping "on some third downs," which directly overlaps with the passing-down work Croskey-Merritt has been developing in the offseason. The key fantasy detail: if White replaces Croskey-Merritt on third downs, Washington has a lead runner and a passing-down back; if Croskey-Merritt stays out there, his offseason development has changed the rotation.
