Lot of terrible things going on here. The injury, re-injury, things happen but it seems like owners felt they were mislead. I never thought he was gonna do much the first 4 weeks of the season with a high ankle sprain no matter what he or the coaches said. Avoided him in most re-drafts although many owners already had drafted him earlier in July/Aug.
The Falcons are now 1-4, this team is not going to compete for the NFC South, even a wildcard spot is looking bad. Has the window for the Falcons closed? Is the Steven Jackson injury what is holding them back?
Atlanta will get this turned around at some point, but the 2013 season is looking at best maybe 8-8 for them. I wonder at some point if you let guys like Roddy White take it easy and start looking towards 2014.
The flip side is White comes on like gangbusters in weeks 8, 9, 10 somewhere in there as the Falcons bottom out at 2-6, 3-5...then maybe a White spark in the passing game will get them going on a roll.
83-88-85-115-100-92...those are his catch totals over the last 6 seasons. The last 2 years was with Julio Jones on the roster.
My gut says he is a buy low, you might have to hold him another month though. Great pick up for teams trying to make a playoff push or playoff bound and maybe try to increase the pop at your WR3 spot..for example you have WR1-Brandon Marshall, WR2-Jordy Nelson, WR3-Brian Hartline...you might be able to dangle Hartline out here and assuming you had a WR4/5 option you could use for another couple weeks with a pretty strong pop at your WR1/2 already...Roddy White could be that last piece to put you over the top in Week 13, 14, 15...the money weeks @Buf, @GB, WAS...those should be big weeks.
Food for thought either way.
