Roddy White, WR
Roddy White has plenty of experience and can be a reliable target on your fantasy team.
Even at 33 years old, he has plenty to offer the Atlanta Falcons and your team. Last year, White made 80 receptions for 921 yards and seven touchdowns. This accumulated 132.10 fantasy points.

He won’t be your WR1 anytime soon, but he can be a useful addition to your roster.
In such a strong offense which should include better play on the ground, opportunities could arise for White to post big numbers in games.
If Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman can improve the run game, coupled with the attention Julio Jones will receive from defenders, White could find himself with plenty of space to make plenty of receptions.
In his ten-year career, White averages 6.2 touchdowns a season, and he put up seven last season.
Due to his age, White drops low in fantasy drafts and should be available late on.
Some rookies can be useful additions this low in the draft due to a potentially high ceiling, but there is also the risk of a bust.
With White, you have an experienced pass-catching weapon who you can use in favorable matchups. On a good day, he has the potential to put up good points which could tilt a matchup in your favor.
