Atlanta Falcons receiver Roddy White caught two of his four targets against the New York Giants during a Week 5 30-20 loss. He only had 26 yards and failed to score.
Roddy White’s fantasy value continues to drop

White’s season has been a massive disappointment. He entered Sunday with just 14 catches for 187 yards and two scores. The 32-year-old wideout did miss one game because of a hamstring injury and maybe he’s not quite all the way over that issue.
White has led the league in targets in multiple seasons, but he's probably not going to finish in the top 20 this season. While he did see 14 targets last week, he only reeled in four of those. That low catch percentage may explain why quarterback Matt Ryan didn't count on him on Sunday. Meanwhile, Julio Jones looks like the best receiver in football.
Fantasy impact: The Falcons are going to need to pass the ball, so White owners shouldn't completely panic. He's more of a low-end WR2 against the Bears next week.
