The Buffalo Bills signed free agent running back Johnny White on Monday to take over the roster spot vacated by David Nelson's move to injured reserve, according to the team's official site. The Bills were in need of running back depth after Fred Jackson suffered a knee injury that could sideline him for at least four weeks.
Bills Sign RB Johnny White: Fantasy Implications
The Bills signed free agent running back Johnny White on Tuesday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: The most interesting thing about the move is that Bills didn't opt to take on another receiver. Instead, it appears the team will roll with five wideouts on the roster: Stevie Johnson, Donald Jones, T.J. Graham, Ruvell Martin and QB/WR hybrid Brad Smith. As for White, don't expect much of anything fantasy-wise. He is clearly third in the running back pecking order behind C.J. Spiller and Tashard Choice.
