Roddy White's Fantasy Football Ranking
Click Here For Current Information About Roddy White
Player Info:
Matt Ryan and the Rise of the Falcons
Coming into the 2008 season I thought the Falcons were at team headed in the right direction, but I never thought they were a team to compete that year. With key acquisitions in running back Michael Turner and 1st round pick quarterback Matt Ryan. Little did I realize what a major impact both of those players would have on this team right away.
No doubt Ryan's progression was helped by having a dominant running game, but he was also greatly helped by true #1 wide receiver Roddy White. #84 proved in 2007 he could have success with any average Joe quarterback at the helm that year with 1200 yards and 6 touchdowns. But for Roddy to post 1382 yards, 88 catches and 7 touchdowns last year was remarkable.
Wide Receivers are supposed to struggle with rookie quarterbacks on conservative running teams. The season looked to be heading in that direction in the first two games of the year but then in week 3 everything changed. Ryan started finding his top target against the Chiefs and never looked back.
Roddy White's Fantasy Football Value in 2009
With Matt Ryan no longer a rookie he will no doubt take another step in progressing in 2009. This progression plus the added addition of Hall of Fame Tight End Tony Gonzalez will only enhance Roddy's opportunities for success this year.
White's hands have improved since his days of dropping balls for quarterback Michael Vick and his speed is top end in the National Football League. What I love about Roddy is his ability to break away from defenders in tight spaces. Look for White to light up the score boards again in 2009 while he improves on his 7 touchdown total from a year ago.
As far as when you should select Roddy, he makes a solid #1 receiver and while he's not a 1st or 2nd round pick he would make a fine 3rd or 4th round pick on your squad this fantasy year.
Fantasy Assets:
- Game Breaker
- Solid offense around him
- Now has Tony Gonzalez
- Plays in a dome
Fantasy Liability's:
- Needs to Improve on his touchdown totals
