Finds paydirt in easy win White rushed five times for 20 yards and a touchdown while catching all six of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 25-6 win over the Jets.
Impact White split backfield duties with Damien Harris, who compiled 62 rushing yards and a touchdown. The veteran receiving back showed that he can still be a threat on the ground as well, waltzing into the end zone from seven yards out to give New England a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. White also ended up leading the team in receiving yards as rookie quarterback Mac Jones dinked and dunked to avoid mistakes. His usage as both a rusher and a receiver keeps White involved regardless of game script, and he's topped 60 scrimmage yards in both games heading into a Week 3 matchup with the Saints.

James White offers veteran wisdom to Damien Harris following fumble vs. Dolphins James White’s veteran leadership is quickly kicking in for the Patriots’ backfield.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • USATODAY.COM
Active in receiving game White tallied six receptions on seven targets for 49 yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Miami. He added four rushes for 12 yards.
Impact White served his expected role primarily as a receiver out of the backfield. He tied for the team lead with six receptions, often becoming involved as a checkdown option for Mac Jones. However, he was also seemingly targeted on designed plays, as he connected with Jones for a 26-yard reception deep down the field -- the team's longest gain through the air on the day. Though White won't project to fill a typical role as a back, he appears to have safe volume as one of Jones' favorite targets.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Looks to click with new QB White reportedly showed good chemistry with new starting QB Mac Jones in training camp, Mike Dussault of the Patriots' official site reports.
Impact White's coming off a 2020 campaign in which he recorded 35 carries for 121 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 49 catches on 62 targets for 375 yards and a receiving score in 14 games. While those stats were down a bit from recent years, it's plausible that the 29-year could engineer a bounce back in 2021, given his reported rapport with Jones as well as the fact that he'll be operating within an offense that figures to be buoyed by the addition of several new pass catchers. Meanwhile, with Sony Michel no longer in the team's backfield mix, Damien Harris profiles as the preferred option on early downs while rookie fourth-round pick Rhamondre Stevenson and second-year back J.J. Taylor should also factor in as complementary pieces. Still, White remains entrenched as the New England's top change-of-pace back, a context that may not yield abundant carries, but should provide him enough targets to re-emerge as a PPR option.

Two catches Thursday White was on the field for five snaps on offense in Thursday's 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles, NESN's Zack Cox reports.
Impact In the process, White caught two of his three targets for 13 yards. Meanwhile, presumed top back Damien Harris logged just eight snaps, while Sony Michel, Rhamondre Stevenson and J.J. Taylor handled the bulk of the team's carries Thursday. White's limited involvement in the contest isn't much of a surprise, however, given that he's a roster lock and remains entrenched in his role as New England's top change-of-pace/pass-catching back heading into the regular season.
