Returning to relevance?: Roddy White (6 catches, 60 receiving yards: 6.0 points)
With Julio Jones absolutely blanketed throughout the afternoon, Roddy White got a few looks, and fans were delighted whenever he hauled in a catch. Atlanta’s all-time leader in receiving touchdowns ended up getting six receptions for 60 yards, his second highest total of the season (only his 84 yards in Week 1 surpassed that total).
White’s six fantasy points were also his third highest total of the season, and if that isn’t a testament to his struggles and fall from prominence, in this new Kyle Shanahan scheme, then I don’t know what is.
Analysis: White was looked at a few times, but he still should not be on your roster. Don’t forget that the UAB product only has one touchdown all season, and is never really looked at in the red zone, that seriously caps his fantasy upside. White’s 60 yards is also nothing to write home about.
