Zamir White is the favorite among NFL bettors to lead the league in rushing for the 2024-25 season. White, who is set to start at running back for the Las Vegas Raiders following the departure of Josh Jacobs, has been receiving a lot of attention at the betting counter. He currently has the most tickets bet on him at 27% and the highest handle percentage at 43.5%. This makes White a significant liability for sportsbooks in the NFL rushing yards betting market.
The odds at FanDuel Sportsbook as of July 10 show White as a strong contender to lead the league in rushing, with odds of +3300. Other notable players in the mix include Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, and Breece Hall. Despite not having started many games in his first two seasons, White has shown promise with impressive performances when given the opportunity. He averaged 114.3 yards per game in the four games he started last season and demonstrated his ability to break tackles and make explosive runs.
The departure of Jacobs, who had been a workhorse for the Raiders in recent years, opens up the possibility for White to see more carries this season. With uncertainties at the quarterback position for the Raiders, White could be relied upon to carry a heavier load in the running game. While Jacobs led the league in rushing yards in 2022, the Raiders have not had a top 10 rushing offense during his tenure with the team.
As the season approaches, all eyes will be on White to see if he can live up to the high expectations set by both fans and bettors. With a strong finish to the previous season and the opportunity for more playing time, White has the potential to make a significant impact for the Raiders in the upcoming campaign.
