The New Orleans Saints are trading linebacker Deion Jones to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for running back Zamir White, according to Adam Schefter.
Why the Saints made the move
New Orleans addressed backfield depth with the addition of Zamir White. Alvin Kamara is dealing with a knee injury, making White's availability in the rotation a practical need for the Saints offense.
What this means for Zamir White fantasy value
Zamir White, RB, now heads to New Orleans. The Saints backfield situation is worth monitoring for any manager who holds White or is considering him on the waiver wire. A change of scenery and a new depth chart spot can shift his workload outlook in a real way, especially with Kamara sidelined.
Deion Jones and the 49ers
Deion Jones is a linebacker and carries no fantasy relevance. He reunites with San Francisco defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.
Roster moves to make
If you hold Zamir White, watch how New Orleans deploys him in their running back rotation. If you were targeting him based on his previous situation, reassess against the Saints depth chart and Kamara's status before making a move.
