White (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
White, who is one of eight Patriots listed as questionable for the contest, practiced in a limited fashion all week, so we'd be surprised if he sat this one out. In the event that he is available Sunday, White -- whose touches have been sporadic of late -- could see some added looks in the Patriots' Week 16 offense, with versatile backfield mate Rex Burkhead out with a knee injury.

White (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
White is a newcomer to the Patriots' injury report, though it remains to be seen if Wednesday's limitations are indicative of him managing a minor injury or the result of a setback that could impact his Week 16 status. Meanwhile, Rex Burkhead (knee) looks poised to miss Sunday's game against the Bills, which would open the door for Mike Gillislee to suit up this weekend. In that scenario, White -- if he's available -- could pick up some extra looks in the passing game, while Gillislee could see some work around the goal line. Dion Lewis figures to head the team's backfield committee, either way.

White was on the field for 20 of 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
In the process, White caught two of his three targets for eight yards. Looking ahead to Week 16, it looks like the Patriots will be without fellow running back Rex Burkhead, which could lead to added looks for White, though it's also plausible that Mike Gillislee, a healthy scratch of late, could re-enter the game plan against his former team, when the Patriots host the Bills this coming Sunday.

White was on the field for 35 of 61 snaps on offense in Monday night's 27-20 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
White did not log a carry in the game, but he did haul in three of his four targets for 11 yards and a TD. While White topped the Patriots running backs in playing time Monday, Dion Lewis parlayed his 18 snaps into five carries for 17 yards and five catches for 50 yards, while Rex Burkhead logged five carries for eight yards and a TD and caught five passes for 45 yards on 17 snaps. With a committee approach that doesn't favor him in play, White's usage will continue to hinge on game-flow or in-contest adjustments, which makes him a fantasy dart in PPR formats down the stretch.

White was on the field for 28 of 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-3 win over the Bills, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
EDGE Analysis
The report notes that White's snap count has increased (11, 17, 18, 28) in each of the Patriots' past four games, and on Sunday, he got back into the passing game a little more, catching four of six targets for 32 yards, while also carrying five times for 18 yards. Still, Dion Lewis (15 carries) and Rex Burkhead (12 carries, three catches) were featured more preliminarily in the team's Week 13 attack. White's usage going forward figures to hinge on game-flow or in-contest adjustments, which makes him a fantasy dart in PPR formats.

White was on the field for 18 of 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 35-17 win over the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
While Mike Gillislee was a healthy scratch once again Sunday, White was out-snapped by both Rex Burkhead (28) and Dion Lewis (28). In the process, White recorded three carries for 13 yards and caught his only target for two yards. White's previously prominent role in the Patriots' passing game has diminished of late, and giving his limited usage as a rusher, his PPR value has taken a big hit. Future game-plans or in-contest adjustments could lead to White seeing moire targets, but in his current context he profiles as a fantasy dart in Week 13's road tilt against the Bills.

White was on the field for 17 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-8 win over the Raiders, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
EDGE Analysis
In the process, White carried five times for 13 yards and did not haul in the one pass thrown his way Sunday. It's worth noting that White's playing time of late has seen a dip, with Dion Lewis (26 snaps Sunday) having emerged as the team's top back and the versatile Rex Burkhead (19 snaps) also in the mix. Over the course of the Patriots' first five games this season, White averaged 36.6 snaps per game, while in his last five outings, that mark is down to 20 snaps per game. White figures to be more involved in the Patriots' passing attack in coming weeks, but with his backfield mates also capable of bringing in catches, White's volume going forward could be sporadic.

White was on the field for 11 of a possible 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 41-16 win over the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
While Mike Gillislee was a healthy scratch Sunday, White was out-snapped by both Rex Burkhead (36) and Dion Lewis (21), who combined for 24 carries in Week 10. For his part, White ran just twice for seven yards, but managed to provide a degree of fantasy utility by catching three passes for 11 yards and a TD. In a crowded backfield, limited carries are the norm for White, but his involvement in the Patriots' passing attack does at least make him relevant in PPR formats.

White was on the field for 20 of a possible 86 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Though White carried just once for two yards Sunday, he caught five of his six targets for a team-high 85 receiving yards. Meanwhile, fellow running back Rex Burkhead chipped in seven catches for 68 yards in the contest. The Patriots are off in Week 9, but thanks to his steady involvement in the team's passing attack, White will once again merit PPR consideration in Week 10, even against Denver's rugged defense.

White carried four times for 19 yards and caught all five of his targets for 28 yards and a TD in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
White was on the field for 23 of a possible 74 snaps on offense in Week 7, a workload topped by fellow RB Dion Lewis (26 snaps), who logged a team-high 13 carries Sunday. With Mike Gillislee and Rex Burkhead also in the mix and limited carries the norm for White, the Wisconsin product's fantasy value continues to hinge on his involvement in the Patriots' passing attack. With that in mind, White is averaging 5.4 catches on 6.7 targets for 40 yards to date.
