29-Year-Old QuarterbackQB
Buffalo Bills
2024 Fantasy Outlook
When White signed with the Dolphins last year, it looked like a good opportunity for a journeyman quarterback. After all, starter Tua Tagovailoa had yet to play more than 13 games in a season because of injuries. So what did Tua do? He started all 17 games for the Dolphins, relegating White to mop-up duty in a handful of games. The 6-5 White has a strong arm and the last two season was on target with 53.3 percent of his 15 attempts of 20-plus yards. But he’s not mobile, rushing 19 times for -1 yard in 14 career games. If Tua doesn’t stay as healthy this year, White would seemingly be in a good spot for passing stats with wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in Mike McDaniel’s dynamic offense. Third-string Skylar Thompson is still around, but he didn’t see the field at all last season. Read Past Outlooks

The Bills signed White off their practice squad Friday.
ANALYSIS
With Josh Allen set to take only a handful of snaps in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Patriots, White will be active as Mitchell Trubisky's backup for the remainder of the contest once Allen is pulled from the game. White has attempted just six regular-season passes since the start of 2023.

2018
Despite playing through injuries last season, White emerged as the clear top option in a Jets QB room that also housed Zach Wilson and Joe Flacco, but the arrival of Aaron Rodgers in New York shuttled the 28-year-old to free agency. Enter Miami, where White replaces veteran Teddy Bridgewater as the top backup to Tua Tagovailoa, a franchise option with durability concerns who's yet to play more than 13 games in a single season. White could thrive if he steps into action for the Dolphins, as throwing to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in a Mike McDaniel-coached offense would be the best team context of his career.
White saw NFL action for the first time in his career last year at age 26 and made a name for himself with 405 yards and three touchdowns in an upset win over the Bengals in Week 8. His other three appearances were much less impressive, though, and White finished with a 5:8 TD:INT ratio. This season White will compete with Joe Flacco for the top backup spot behind 2021 second overall pick Zach Wilson in a crowded Jets quarterback room.
White will compete with second-year man James Morgan for the backup job behind rookie second overall pick Zach Wilson, who's expected to become the Jets' starting quarterback right out of the gate. The 26-year-old White spent last season on New York's practice squad and is yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game.
White failed to see the field as a rookie in 2018, and the Western Kentucky product will once again battle Cooper Rush in camp for the No. 2 QB spot behind Dak Prescott.
Drafted in the fifth round out of Western Kentucky, White will compete with second-year quarterback Cooper Rush for the backup spot behind Dak Prescott. White arguably has more arm strength and physical upside than Rush, but a season spent on the practice squad isn't out of the question.

Could play role Week 18
QBFree Agent
January 2, 2025
White is a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad for Week 18 against the Patriots, coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday, per Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site.
ANALYSIS
The Bills will have some decisions to make on which players to elevate with numerous starters set to sit out the regular-season finale. Mitchell Trubisky is expected to play most of the game under center with Josh Allen resting after a few plays, but White could see the field as well if the practice squad quarterback gets elevated. White last suited up in the regular season as a member of the Dolphins in 2023 after making seven starts for the Jets between the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
