I had an owner offer me Roddy for Mc Gahee last week and accepted.Should I feel bad now that McGahee has a broken hand? I think not, trade was before the injury to McGahee.
Ryan is averaging more yards per game and per pass attempt this year than in either '09 or '10.
To be honest, there are just so many QBs playing at such a high level right now, it's easy to label Ryan as "terrible."
I suppose there are two ways to look at this:Roddy White is dueor His struggles will continue as Ryan continues to spread the ball out/reverts to his prior career numbers.
As a former casino dealer and professional poker player "due theory" just makes me smile every time i hear about it.
Ah yes, "gambler's fallacy". But in point of fact, many players do indeed "hit their career numbers" - especially when little changes in the situation surrounding them. That's the thing that is so baffling about Roddy.Some examples of "explainable" situations (i.e. players "doing poorly"):1) CJ - got a big contract, was out of shape coming into the season because of hold out, etc.2) Mendenhall - injuries to the O-line, Ben playing well so they are passing more, etc.3) Many players - coming off injury, getting old, "lost a step", change in offensive philosophy/coach/OC, etc.In Roddy's case there has been very little of the above - very few changes (heck, even the target numbers are high) - but for some reason he isn't pulling down the catches and not scoring TDs. Hence the "he's due" theory - which I do buy....to an extent. I do think Atlanta has had issues with pass protection (especially interior o-line play) - but has had success running the ball. That combo has lead to lower output from Roddy (who has been hampered by some minor nagging injuries). I think they bye week will help in both.I still think Roddy is top 12 WR the rest of the way - especially in PPR.As a former casino dealer and professional poker player "due theory" just makes me smile every time i hear about it.
How do you think Roddy will do in comparison to someone like Nicks the rest of the way? Nicks is generally ranked higher, but he is often plagued by nagging injuries as well.Ah yes, "gambler's fallacy".

You are certainly welcome.In all seriousness, I was just giving some info in what he went for in my league, since people are talking about buying low. I just got a little.carried away with the lineup info...it happens.thanks for the update pal'solorca said:
Yeah me personally I dont mind your 1st sentence as it is very helpful to those looking to buy Roddy. Its the 2nd sentence that went above and beyond what I care about and the reason for my jab.You are certainly welcome.In all seriousness, I was just giving some info in what he went for in my league, since people are talking about buying low.

What is the record they were going for?
lol at this. Roddy was drafted as WR1 for a team in my league and never let go. Same guy that picked up Aaron Rodgers at 1.01 and in the playoffs as the #1 seed.hope yall listened
You're doing it wrong.
I had not heard of that, but given they were rolling on offense, maybe they should think about forcing it to Roddy more often. I realize Jacksonville's secondary has been weakened due to injury, but the Falcons looked more like last year's team tonight than at any time all season. It seems like they are finally able to let the game flow rather than trying to hard to be a wide-open passing team.Regardless of the reason and if the Falcons are better off with more emphasis on White...Roddy is now almost exactly on pace for his three-year (2008-2010) season average of 96 receptions, 1308 yards and 9.33 TDs.
WTF would you bench Roddy White against anybody especially a depleted Jags secondary?
he was my #1 buy low target early in the year. If you read many of the threads about Roddy not many people were as optimistic as you earlier in the yr.lol at this.

The only thing I can find is that he became the ONLY WR in Falcons history to go for 1,000 receiving in 5 strait seasons. It's not like they don't have 2 more games to have gotten that done, though.
Which averages? Pre or post bye?Pre bye - these were his averages:
White has dropped a lot of balls this season. Yes he is hard to bench but it isn't a no brainer if you have other desirable options. He is a bit of a risky play with high upside. I benched him for Harvin and Fitz.
Yeah, so. He's the most targeted WR in the game, even before his 16 targets last night. Harvin has less than 100 targets on the season and has a rookie throwing him the ball. Roddy now has over 150 targets, with a former pro bowler throwing him the ball. That's over 50% more targets....I'll take a few more drops with all the additional targets.White has dropped a lot of balls this season. Yes he is hard to bench but it isn't a no brainer if you have other desirable options. He is a bit of a risky play with high upside. I benched him for Harvin and Fitz.
yes it is. sorry to break it to you. And there is nothing risky about playing Roddy White. Percy and Larry are FAR riskier.White has dropped a lot of balls this season. Yes he is hard to bench but it isn't a no brainer if you have other desirable options. He is a bit of a risky play with high upside. I benched him for Harvin and Fitz.
if it's the Falcons feeding him to reach the 100 receptions mark that you're talking about, I'll gladly take that every year in ppr.
The reason he had those numbers is becuase he was wide open all night.
Considering how well they are playing when they heavily target him, I expect it to continue.
No offense, but you are confident giving other people advice after benching him in the playoffs and then he puts up 35 points? You might want to listen to other posters for a while.White has dropped a lot of balls this season. Yes he is hard to bench but it isn't a no brainer if you have other desirable options.

ah this is the record you were talking about:(KFFL) Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White is within range of passing former WR Terance Mathis this season for the most receiving yards in Falcons history. White's 135 yards in Week 15 puts him 171 yards off the franchise mark.'footballnerd said:
My opinion, I am not expecting anyone to value my judgements one way or the other. I have been playing this game long enough to live with the ups and downs of my decisions. I believe the poster asked a question. I answered it.'az_prof said:No offense, but you are confident giving other people advice after benching him in the playoffs and then he puts up 35 points?

6, 14, 18, 11, 14 is hardly awesome; but it is pretty consistent. I liked Harvin and Fitz this week and I wasn't going to bench CJ against Indy. I couldn't sit Rice and MJD at RB and I chose to go with CJ as a flex. White, Fitz and Harvin were all ranked pretty similarly.'shadyridr said:
