Is Roddy White a good (1 Viewer)

[NorrisB]

I say yes.

 

[Da Guru]

He would be if someone would buy high, but I would not count on it.

 

[comfortably numb]

Sold him twice.

Both 16 team IDP Dynasty leagues

One league, I traded him a couple of weeks ago for a 08 1st RD pick.

(should be late 10-16 range)

Other league

I got

Heap, Todd

Henderson, E.J.

Spencer, Shawntae

Early 08 3rd RD pick

I gave

Caddy (the week before his injury)

White, Roddy

Davis, Andra

Late 4th RD pick

League is TE heavy (Gates 12th overall)

FWIW

I just traded Heap for Jennings straight up before Thursday's game.

He was sold for two mid-low 1sts+ in one of my leagues. That's probably "high", but seems fair.

 

[PatrickT]

In redrafts, yes, he'll have inconsistent output the rest of the year and shouldn't be relied upon in playoffs if you can avoid it. For dynasties, I'd hold, he's got major breakout written all over him for '08 if we can shore up the o-line.

 

[Hugonel]

A sell high candidate is one that most (or at least one ) folks think will continue to function at a high level.

You can trade him, but I don't really think he qualifies as a sell high so I don't think he'll bring premium value.

I think he is a very adequate/good WR3, but he's posted two other games almost identical to his last game and then settled back down to his typical 50-60 yards.

who is your QB next year? Brohm? I don't like White to "break-out" next year, just because of the QB. As I write that, I realize many said that about Braylon, but with Atlanta, we either know their QBs aren't good, or they'll probably have a rookie. Unless you see another FA coming in

What if DA goes to ATL?

Notice I said o-line, not QB. neither of our QBs are the long-term answer, but one of them will be the starter next year. With an oline that can A) give them time and B) establish a running game, either can make White a nice FF WR.Unless we get Anderson, as another poster suggested, which we COULD'VE gotten for a 5th or 6th rounder before the season, but now will have to likely pay a 1st and 3rd, which I doubt we will.Nice job, McKay!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

His perceived value is at or below his actual value right now. White is the #1, and the rightful #1 as the most talented and productive WR on the Falcons. If anything, he has room to gain a little value if his TDs go up a bit or QB play improves. White has proven himself as a solid short area target because of his YAC ability and as we saw on Thursday, he can behind the secondary.

As far as his QB next year, it should be Leftwich, and that should only help as long as the OL gives him time to find White downfield - remember they have lost both starting OTs.

 

[Gopher State]

Here's my take on White, in my league he is the 19 best WR, ahead of big name WR's like Driver, Boldin Coles.

White has 81 targets for the year (R. Moss has 92) clearly the #1 guy for Altanta.

Next two games for white are St Louis and New Orleans, match ups I would call very good.

In redrafts I would call White a buy to hold, I see good numbers in the next two weeks.

Solid thinking, but having watched the games, the inconsistency scares me from an FF point of view. Still, there are worse options out there to be certain.

 

[Judge Smails]

Do a lot of redraft leagues with no keepers really allow trades this late in the year? Our deadline was week 10.

 

[Poppa]

White has 81 targets for the year (R. Moss has 92) clearly the #1 guy for Altanta.

I've read of White having stone hands. If 81 targets is correct - 52 catches is a pretty good catch rate...about 65% or so - and with less than stellar QB's/OL's trying to get him the ball. Former first-rounder, in his 3rd year and on pace to more than double last year's numbers in receptions, yards, YAC and first downs. As someone above noted - he has better numbers than many a more "well-known" name WR.Dynasty perspective speaking here...

 

[Brides Maids]

I say yes.

Who are you selling to? isn't the trading deadline in most leagues past??

 

[renesauz]

A definate HOLD at this point, in redraft or dynasty. BUY if his owner is too blind to see his truevalue....a borderline fantasy WR2/3 AT WORST.

I get all that, it just seems to me that Atlanta would draft a QB this year. They probably won't start the rookie immediately, but it stands to reason that if they do get Brohm, he'll see the field relatively early. I suppose if you're willing to take a hit in 08, he could be a good WR to have now and in 2 years.

I think you're probably right. That's just what I think but they don't listen to me, for some weird reason. Even when I say it really, really loud with cuss words and everything.

 

[[scooter]]

He's neither "sell high" nor "buy low". He's just an inconsistent WR3/borderline WR2.

 

[Catbird]

Deadline passed, but I'm not excited enough to hold Roddy over in dynasty. Certainly depends on your rules and roster. I think Laurent Robinson will end up be the more consistent and dynamic WR there, they won't have a plus QB for at least 2 years (Lefty having been cut from his other running emphasis offense, no matter how much better he is than Joey), and ATL coaches likely to maintain a rush-heavy ball control offense.

 

[Righetti]

I snatched him of waivers recently because people just overlook the Atlanta offense.

with the injuries to Santonio and Hackett, he might be starting for the Silly Putty Sacks this week

I'm certainly glad that I wasn't able to get anyone to bite all year on my trade offers of both Roddy White and Bobby Engram! These guys just keep on producing.

 

[zamboni]

Roddy's stats for the year so far: 62-920-4, plus a ridiculous 18 targets yesterday.

The TDs aren't quite there yet, but one can largely attribute that to the terrible QB play. What's probably most impressive about Roddy's year is that regardless of said QB play, he has produced under Leftwich, Harrington and even Chris freaking Redman.

Also some solid consistency: in every game this year he's had at least 4 catches or 50 yards (or both).

If the team can get a solid QB back there next year, look out.

 

[Righetti]

I did not watch the game but was following it closely on gamecenter and was shocked to see how often he was getting targeted especially in the fourth quarter. Seemed like Redman threw to him two out of every three plays..

anybody see the game and can give us some insight on how White played, were the targets off-the-mark or throws he could have made grabs on?

Only one ball that he should've caught was dropped that I can recall. A couple of good defensive plays. He is obviously THE guy, regardless of who's behind center. Redman did spread the ball around pretty well though, Jenkins could get a bit of a bump if Redman gets the start.

 

[zamboni]

While we still hear of some dropsies, it seems like Roddy's hands are much better this year. His % of targets caught is right around 62%, not out of whack with some of the top "hands" guys in the league - TJ Housh (65%), Mason (65%), Chad (61%), Wayne (64%), Fitzgerald (61%), Holt (64%), and Ward (66%).ETA: of course, not having Vick toss the rock this year helps.

 

[Wu-banger]

I tried to trade him before our Week 10 deadline.... was looking for a draft pick..

a couple owners suggested that he was TRASH .. I was shocked.

he is stuck behind TO, Moss, and Andre Johnson on my squad ... and I'll guess that is where he'll stay as other owners continue to get burnt by starting a stud like Steve Smith.

It's night and day for Roddy. Jenkins still has some issues, and I've been mildly disappointed in the rookie Robinson, but I'm giving him a pass in his 1st year. I'd like to see Horn retire and Finneran return to possession receiver spot. Don't know if knee will let him, tho.
