After putting up a 4-84 line on eight targets in Week One, Roddy White has disappeared entirely, garnering zero targets since. I glanced around at a few metrics on a few sites and no one seems overly down on Roddy White’s performance, so I can’t fully explain this.
I have a friend that used to joke (before Julio Jones was drafted that) Roddy White was Matt Ryan’s first, second, third, and fifth look. Maybe Matt Ryan just refocused his old Roddy White glasses for Julio Jones. Maybe it’s been game-plan or matchup oriented. I really don’t know.
I still have faith Roddy White will begin his annual “I’m not dead yet” campaign at some point. He should definitely be on fantasy benches for the time being though, and it may be tough to continue to look at those zeros on your bench.
