New England Patriots: 3 players to watch in Week 8 Monday night matchup

1. James White

I think that Week 8’s game is an important one for James White. White will be relied upon to do multiple things on Monday night.

White is best when catching the ball. This season he has 45 catches for 380 yards and 6 touchdowns. You could say that Tom Brady trust’s White the most. He is the most targeted receiver so far this season.

Being a pass catching back allows for White to get plenty of open field. Then he can show off his speed and ability to make defenders miss. They don’t call him “sweet feet” for no reason.

Now White will have to be the primary back. He will have to be just as good running the ball as he is catching it.

So Week 8 is a chance for James White to prove that he can be a team’s main back. Hopefully, he will show that he is a complete player and not a one trick pony.
