Description: Atlanta wideout Roddy White will play Sunday against Tampa Bay despite missing practice earlier in the week with a knee injury. | Insight: White's perfect attendance record (he's never missed an NFL game in eight seasons) will remain in tact. The Falcons have already wrapped up homefield advantage for the playoffs so we wouldn't expect White to see his usual workload this week against the struggling Buccaneers. ESPN's John Clayton listed White (87 receptions, 1,309 yards, seven TD) among the year's biggest Pro Bowl snubs earlier this week. | | |

Description: Falcons receiver Roddy White (knee) has never missed a game in eight seasons and it doesn't look like he's about to start now. He'll play Saturday night. SOURCE: Adam Schefter, ESPN | Insight: White's status was never in much doubt. The veteran only had two catches in Week 15 but we think it had more to do with Matt Ryan only having to throw 28 passes. White saw five targets, two fewer than Tony Gonzalez and one fewer than Julio Jones. There's no reason to bench him in Week 16. | | |

Description: Falcons receiver Roddy White, who practiced Thursday, is listed as questionable but we have no doubts that he'll be on the field Saturday against Detroit. | Insight: White didn't practice at all last week and still played in the game. He's never missed a game in eight seasons. Although he didn't have a good game, blame that on the non-competitive Giants who were blown out 34-0. Matt Ryan and the passing game weren't needed much. He should improve this Saturday. | | |

Description: Don't blame Falcons receiver Roddy White's bum knee for his sub par two-catch, 16-yard afternoon in Week 15. Blame the Giants for not being competitive. | Insight: White was targeted five times, just two less than Tony Gonzalez's team-leading seven targets, but quarterback Matt Ryan threw a season-low 28 passes in the 34-0 blowout win. White should bounce back against Detroit in Week 16. | | |

Description: Falcons receiver Roddy White is officially active for Sunday's game against the Giants. | Insight: White missed practice due to a knee injury this week but he's giving it a go today against New York's 27th-ranked passing defense. He hauled in five catches for 52 yards against the Giants in a playoff game last year. | | |

Description: ESPN reports Falcons wideout Roddy White is expected to play Sunday against the Giants. | Insight: White had been listed as questionable with an injured knee. If White is able to play (and it looks like he will be), it will extend the wide receiver's consecutive games played streak to 126. | | |

Description: Falcons receiver Roddy White (knee) is a game-time decision Sunday. He didn't practice Thursday for the second time this week. SOURCE: Atlanta Falcons' official Twitter account | Insight: Falcons' coach Mike Smith insisted the knee injury was minor on Wednesday but the outlook has chaged, according to ProFootballTalk.com. While Atlanta is coming off a drubbing at the hands of Carolina, the Falcons are still 11-2 and have one of the byes well in hand so they can afford to be cautious with White. | | |

Description: Falcons receiver Roddy White only had one reception on seven targets in Week 13 but he hit the 100-yard plateau in Week 14 against the Panthers. White caught nine balls for 117 yards and a touchdown in the loss. | Insight: White crossed 1,000 yards for the sixth consecutive season back in Week 12, but he's going to have to keep up this type of production if he wants to reach 100 catches for the third straight campaign. | | |
| 10/8/2012 12:45:00 PM |
Description: Atlanta receiver Roddy White, who exploded for 169 yards and two touchdowns in Week 4, was mostly quiet on Sunday in the face of constant double teams. | Insight: Julio Jones and Tony Gonzalez both benefitted from the attention White got from the Redskins secondary. It appears each week Ryan is going to take what the defense gives him, instead of forcing in to a receiver. For fantasy owners it will be hard to predict which of the Falcons three receivers will star each week. | | |

Description: Atlanta receiver Roddy White exploded for 169 yards and two touchdowns Sunday in a last minute victory over the Panthers. | Insight: White keyed the game-winning drive with a 59-yard catch against double coverage. Julio Jones and Tony Gonzalez both had sub-par games so the Falcons really needed White to step up. Luckily for fantasy owners, White was up to the task. | | |

Description: Atlanta wideout Roddy White is active and in the starting lineup for the Falcons as they compete against Denver on Monday Night Football. White had been listed as questionable because of a groin injury. | Insight: White had six catches for 87 yards in the opener and we'd expect him to play a similar role in tonight's game. Start him as you usually would. | | |
| 9/15/2012 6:29:00 PM |
Description: Falcons receiver Roddy White is questionable for Monday's game but he should play after practicing fully Saturday. | Insight: White was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday but he was a full-go Saturday. Since the Falcons play on Monday night in Week 2, you're taking a gamble that White will play but it doesn't seem to be that large of a gamble at this point. | | |
| 9/9/2012 3:59:00 PM |
Description: While Julio Jones found pay dirt twice, there were still plenty of targets to go around for Falcons receiver Roddy White Sunday against the Chiefs. White caught six passes for 87 yards. | Insight: White only caught eight touchdowns a year ago so it's not like his value is directly tied to his scoring. Ninety catches seems likely, with a third-straight 100-grab season a strong possibility. | | |
| 6/4/2012 12:37:00 PM |
Description: Atlanta wide receiver Roddy White said he doesn't expect to dominate the Falcons receiving corps as he has in the past. White has led the NFL in targets over the past two seasons with 179 in each year. | Insight: We suspected that talented wideout Julio Jones would become a more dynamic target in his second season, but this just emphasizes that fact. White has cracked the 100-catch mark the last two seasons, but that may be more of a challenge in 2012. White will still be a valuable fantasy asset, but antasy owners take note and adjust your rankings accordingly. | | |

Description: The information is a little sketchy at this point, but Atlanta WR Roddy White was limited in Friday's practice with a thigh injury, and the Falcons have listed him as questionable for Sunday's game at Seattle in Week 4. | Insight: We're guessing he'll be good to go, but keep that in mind when setting your lineup, because this is a late afternoon game. | | |
| 12/28/2010 12:02:00 PM |
Description: White (knee) had three catches for 43 yards and a touchdown against the Saints on Monday night. | Insight: White only saw five targets as the Saints made it a priority to take him out of the game. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
| 12/20/2010 3:01:00 PM |
Description: White had seven receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown against Seattle on Sunday. | Insight: White ended his streak of games without a score, and is obviously an elite fantasy WR. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
| 12/13/2010 10:00:00 AM |
Description: White had eight catches for 79 yards on Sunday against the Panthers. | Insight: White has not produced at an elite level lately, but he is still a top tier fantasy WR heading into a nice matchup against the Seahawks in Week 15. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
| 12/12/2010 6:26:00 PM |
Description: Falcons WR Roddy White finished Week 14 with 8 catches for 79 yards vs. Carolina. | Insight: It wasn't spectacular, but in a PPR league it's another 15.9 fantasy points. What wasn't needed as the Falcons pummeled Carolina in all phases of the game. He was targeted 14 times, which still leads the NFL. | | |
| 12/6/2010 12:03:00 PM |
Description: White had seven receptions for 74 yards on Sunday against Tampa Bay | Insight: White has not scored in three straight games, but he is still a top-tier fantasy receiver. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
