Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White was held under 100 yards receiving for the first time since Oct. 28. We break down the fantasy implications.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White had a slow day by his standards, catching five passes for 57 yards against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite just an average day for White, the Falcons were able to hold on to beat the Bucs, 24-23.
It was Julio Jones turn to have a big game this week for the Falcons receiving corps. White had gone over 100 yards in each of the last three games. His 57 yards was his third worst performance of the season.
Fantasy Impact: With Jones healthy again it may take a few targets away from White, but nothing that keeps him from still being one of the top wide receivers in the league. White has only been held under 50 yards once this season and will always get enough looks to be productive.
White has now gone five straight games without scoring a touchdown. We have to assume he'll make his way back to the end zone soon enough. Even without touchdowns he remains a must-start player.
