Atlanta Falcons' wide receiver Roddy White is expected to play Monday night against the Green Bay Packers.
Roddy White injury update: Falcons WR expected to suit up for fantasy owners Monday night
The Falcons are expected to get their veteran wideout back into the mix Monday night vs. the Packers. We break down the fantasy implications:

The veteran receiver has been dealing with an ankle injury which kept him out of practice Thursday and Friday, although he did extensive running off to the side. White returned to practice on Saturday, backing up head coach Mike Smith’s declaration that he expects the Pro-Bowl wideout to suit up.
Fantasy Spin: Monday night games are the worst for fantasy owners who await players' statuses, but this isn't as bad as it gets. Smith's announcement, plus White returning to practice, bodes well for his availability versus an exploitable Packers' secondary. Owners who want to take extra precautions would be wise to pluck Harry Douglas off of waivers, but as of now, he isn't pegged as a must-add. White projects as a middling WR2/WR3 with some upside for Week 14.
