Julio Jones led the Atlanta Falcons wide receivers with 82 yards on six catches in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings. Roddy White caught four passes for 72 yards and a touchdown on Sunday.
Roddy White outscores Julio Jones in fantasy for Week 4
The Falcons top two wide receivers struggled at times to break open big plays against the Minnesota Vikings. We break down the fantasy implications.

White was targeted a team-high 14 times by Matt Ryan, while Jones saw eight passes thrown his way. Although White scored the lone touchdown of the duo, he dropped several passes throughout the game.
Fantasy impact: The good news is White didn’t look limited by his hamstring that kept him out of commission in Week 4, Unfortunately he only hauled in a third of his targets. At one point he dropped three straight passes.
Jones looked as good as always when his number was called. The Falcons probably should be targeting him more, but the Vikings did a solid job covering both receivers for the most part. Jones is a WR1 for Week 5 against the Giants, while White is a WR2. Both are great options for your lineup as the Falcons should be throwing the ball often all year.
