Roddy White owners... (1 Viewer)

What a pleasant surprise. He's the #2-ranked WR in my non-PPR league right now.

Fitz, Andre Johnson and Brandon Marshall (who I already have) are the only ones in the discussion right now, IMO.

 
Was hoping for this when I took him in the late-middle rounds of a start up dynasty LAST year.

AJ, Megatron, Marshall, Bolden. It would have to be not just a stud WR...but a YOUNG stud WR.

 
Marshall. AJ. That's about it.

Yet, according to FBG Upgrades/Downgrades, he is a great WR2 borderline WR1. :thumbup:

 
ONe reason this list is so small for most White owners is the overall feeling that White has nowhere to go BUT up. We know (or assume) we've seen the best Marshall, and many other studs have to offer. Roddy White is putting up comparable stats on a young, still developing team. His ceiling could be HIGHER then where he currently sits, while WR's like Cotchery or Jennings aren't likely to rise much higher.

There really isn't any WR a White owner would consider a no-brainer straight up. There are only a few (mostly mentioned) the White owner would even consider at all....and then only if it's for a run THIS year.

Nice to have him and AJ in one league of mine...of course, I am 3-4...but oh well...I have the second highest PF in this league, but teams seem to come alive against me each week...sucks really.
 
I wanted to add when I said I'd trade him for Fitz, AJ and Brandon straight up it was in a redraft league. In a dynasty league I would not trade him for anyone as I'm assuming Ryan's going to get a lot better and so to will Roddy.

This to me is just silly. Would you honestly not trade him for Fitz, who, at 25, already has two 100 1400 10 seasons under his belt? White turns 27 in like 5 days for comparison's sake. The career year he's having right now is already the norm for Fitz.

Those all sound about right if you're trading Roddy, but I'd also consider a package involving Braylon Edwards + something useful but relatively minor.

 
id take these guys before Roddy:

Andre Johnson

Larry Fitzgerald

Brandon Marshall

Moss (with Brady)

maybes:

Reggie Wayne

Steve Smith

Greg Jennings

close but no:

Boldin

Calvin Johnson

Braylon Edwards

TO

Lots of crazy Roddy White owners up in here.

Marshall

Jennings

Fitz

Boldin

Stevie Smith

A Johnson

Wayne

Avery

People have big seasons sometimes. For recent history just look at Muhammad. The people who put white top 3 are nuts and obviously owners.

Why would it be silly? Silly is something way off the wall and even if you don't agree it's pretty close. You should pick your words better.I already said I would rather have Fitz right now. To me Fitz, AJ, and Marshall are in a group above all others right now. I put Roddy next for right now. Dynasty is completely different.

Big deal on the age. They are 21 months apart and Fitz played against a higher level of competition in college and has an extra year in the NFL than White so in terms of their growth I'd say they have the same amount of ability to improve.

I would call it silly if you want to continue to overlook QB play. Warner's not going to be around to much longer and Fitz's numbers drop a good amount when catching from Leinhart. In PPR leagues I know his production drops almost 25% the past few years with Leinhart instead of Warner. Now maybe when Warners gone he'll have someone other than Lienhart throwing him the ball but we don't know who. Meanwhile Roddy White has excelled with Chris Redman and rookie throwing to him. I could not overcome Michael Vick so I can't say he's 100% QB proof but he's certainly showing he does not need have to have an elite QB to be elite himself. As Ryan continues to improve I think it's only reasonable to expect Whites numbers to go up as well.

As a proud White owner, the only WR's I would rather have in a straight up trade are Fitz and AJ, maybe Marshall but I already have him, and I can see Smith too. Ok but that's it!. He's having one of those seasons you gotta just ride out to a championship.

Edit: I take it back. I would only trade for AJ since Fitz and Smith have yet to have a bye week and I would lose out on a week of production.

:) You made some great points and then blew it all by throwing Donnie Avery on your list.By the way, for me, it would be A. Johnson, S. Smith, Marshall, Boldin, and Fitz.

Top 3 may be a bit much to expect, but it's not like he came out of nowhere. He had a big season last year with garbage at QB and has brought his game to another level this year with a credible QB.
 
I would trade him for Jennings right now, knowing Jennings has two games vs the Bears D yet.

Using Roddy in a package to get Westbrook.

Fitz, Wayne, Marshall and that's probably it in my dynasty league. Given the ceiling Matt Ryan has White could be the no. 1 WR in all the land in the future.

Avery :thumbup: You seem to think White is a fluke. Explain to me last season then with Harrington, Leftwich and Redmen as his QB's? He's not a joke and Matt Ryan isn't either.

Calvin

Andre

Wayne

Marshall

Colston

Fitz

Smith

Jennings

Boldin

Edwards

RMoss

I have him in the area of

Cotch

Plax

Coles

Your first list is reasonable, but i would trade any two of the players from the second list for him.
 
Guy in my dynasty league moved White for Ocho about 3 weeks ago, I told him he was crazy. He said it was the type of deal that wins championships...........Needless to say he is now on a 4 game losing streak.

As for me AJ, Megatron, Smith, Fitz and Marshall.

But he's right. That kind of deal does win championships.For the other team
 
I wouldn't trade him for AJ. Yes, he's an all world talent but give me the guy who has only improved throughout his career and found success with four QB's you didn't expect anyone to have any success with (Ryan - at least not in the beginning). In fairness to AJ he's had to deal with Carr a lot. Still White's best season is already better than AJ's and he may not match in yards but his TD totals are putting him with a better season at this moment too.

One can't argue with his production thus far - and as a fellow owner, I've obviously also been quite happy with him - but to say he's not tradeable to anyone is probably overvaluing him IMO.
