Roddy White down the stretch (1 Viewer)

[DeaLerZ]

For him it has been a sub par year... do we expect more of the same? or will the real Roddy White show up down the stretch???

I think the sample size for this season is significant enough at this point. Would it surprise me if he turned back into last year's version? Nope.

But if I had to bet, I'd guess that the drops and reduced production continue and that Turner remains the focal point of the offense.

I think that the production remains at the same level, but that level isn't exactly terrible (at least in PPR leagues). He is performing like a WR2, which sucks if you drafted him highly...but he's still putting up solid numbers.

I would vote for somewhere in between if given the choice. I don't think Roddy will see last year's production level, but I do think his TDs will increase. If 2 or 3 pass interferences on likely TD throws don't happen and instead are TDs for Roddy, I doubt we are having this concern, even though his yardage might still be down. The drops are worrisome and are up compared to the past, but it's not like he hasn't had some drops in past years. To me, the best thing that has happened is getting Turner back as more of a focus, because it is in that type of offense where he has been most effective. You'd also think defenses would start to double Gonzalez more in the red zone until the Falcons show they can throw to someone else for TDs.

He's a disappointment to nearly all who drafted him so far, but he can salvage his season for his fantasy owners by coming up big in the fantasy playoffs. There's no way to know if that's going to happen, but far more unlikely events have occurred.

Lots of discussion here already.

No, what you have seen so far is what you are going to get. If you have anyone averaging more points per week right now, start them instead.

EDIT: Nevermind, I thought this was locked for some reason and was testing the reply function.

I really don't know what to expect. A few times stopped on the 1. A few defensive pass interference calls in the end zone... a few over-under thrown deep passes that would have went for 6. Some of those fall the other way and Roddy is great this year. The opportunites seem to be there, so there is a chance that some of those fall his way... and unfortunately there is a chance that he is simply having a very rough year. It just seems so odd for somebody so consistently good. Isn't as if he is too old, has a different QB, ect... there is really no good explanation for it.

White will be solid, Douglas will be a solid WR 3/flex as well if Julio is out with more BOO-BOO's.

 

[DeaLerZ]

I knew his reception totals would be down a little with the addition of Julio Jones... but did not expect everything else to be down so much

at this point he is out of excuses - either his health, lack of practice with Ryan or tough matchup cannot be an excuse any more.

He is not a wr1 plain and simple - wr1's win you weeks with their performance.

Unfortunately his upside is now 60 yards a game with a touchdown opportunity in the red zone.
