Editor’s Update: Roddy White is INACTIVE
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 3: Roddy White
Roddy White cooled off from his big Week 1. Will he bounce back in Week 3 for fantasy owners?

Atlanta Falcons receiver Roddy White didn't miss any NFL games before last season, but he only played 13 games in his ninth season. He had a quiet Week 2 with just 42 receiving yards and he's currently dealing with a hamstring issue.
The good news is that he's fully expected to play, but it definitely doesn't help that he's on a short week. The Bucs did hold him to just three catches and 36 yards last season, but they did have Darrelle Revis for that game. This year, Alterruan Verner should spend a lot of time on White, who has been busy. He was thrown at a lot on Sunday and even had eight tackles.
White should be able to get at least five catches and the Falcons may wind up abandoning the run because of Tampa’s solid front seven. He should be viewed as a solid WR2 and should be started with some confidence.
