Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White is listed as inactive for the team's matchup with the Carolina Panthers.
Roddy White inactive once again, can remain on fantasy owners’ benches
The Falcons will be without their veteran receiver for a third straight game on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Kevin C. Cox
Throughout the course of the season, White has nursed a high-ankle sprain that has severely hampered his effectiveness, and he has spent most of his time on the field serving as a decoy to draw attention away from other receivers. This marks White’s third missed game in a row, but his fourth straight week of rest because of the team’s Week 6 bye. White’s odds of playing were never great as he managed to only get a limited practice session in on Friday.
Fantasy Spin: Once again, White’s owners can keep him on the bench, as has been the norm so far. At this point, owners can keep him there until he proves not only healthy, but capable of producing on the field. On the season, White has amassed just 14 catches for 129 yards over six games.
With White sitting once again, expect Harry Douglas to continue to rack-up the targets. Douglas remains a WR2 with upside this week despite a difficult matchup against the Panthers.
