Though he was limited in Wednesday and Thursday's practice sessions, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White participated in full on Friday and is expected to play on Sunday versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
Roddy White injury update: Falcons WR good to go for fantasy owners
The Atlanta Falcons had a scare in Week 1 when Roddy White’s knee crashed into the turf, but he is expected to start despite being limited in practice earlier in the week. We break down the fantasy implications.

White's limitations were likely precautionary, as he banged his knee against the turf in Week 1's contest with the New Orleans Saints, the same knee he had drained during the offseason. It's a separate issue from the high ankle sprain that hindered him throughout 2013, and White will be all systems go as he is listed as "probable" on the team's injury report.
Fantasy Spin: It will be tougher sailing this week for White and company versus a tenacious Bengals defense, but that's not enough reason to bench a receiver of his caliber. A healthy trio of White, Julio Jones and Harry Douglas will warrant another high-volume passing attack, and the Falcons are capable enough to capitalize from that even versus the league's best. White remains a steady WR2 option.
