Roddy White has led the NFL in third-down catches in each of the past two seasons.
Since 2008, White also leads the NFL with 102 first downs on third down. White probably has at least another season or two in the prime of his career, and should bounce back from his league-leading 15 drops. It's questionable whether he can return to double-digit TDs, however, with Julio Jones as a dangerous red-zone weapon. Apr 6 - 9:50 AM

Roddy White managed 52 yards on five catches in the Falcons' Wild Card round loss to the Giants.

The NFL's regular season leader in drops, White had a few more in the playoff loss. Losing a step and playing more of a possession role this season, the 30-year-old still caught 100 balls for 1,296 yards and eight touchdowns, finishing as the No. 8 fantasy receiver. We suspect he will be overvalued in 2012 drafts, and that Julio Jones will further cut into White's production.

According to ESPN's Stats & Info, Roddy White led the NFL with 14 dropped passes in 2012.

The majority of White's drops came in a disappointing first half of the season, though he did add two more in the finale. In fact, nearly half of his drops came in two games versus the Bucs. Browns rookie Greg Little (11) and Mike Williams of the Bucs (8) were second and third respectively in drops.

Roddy White caught four passes for 69 yards in the Week 17 win over the Bucs.

White topped 1,000 yards receiving for the fifth straight year, reached 100 catches for the second straight season and has still never missed a game in his seven-year career. Still, we've likely seen the best of Roddy. Julio Jones is a force and White continues to be plagued by drops at age 30. The rookie is the more explosive option as the Falcons head to the playoffs as the NFC's No. 5 seed.

Roddy White recorded a game-high 11 catches for 127 yards as the Falcons fell to the Saints in Week 16.

White ran a pretty route to get open for a 20-yard gain deep down the middle on Atlanta's first drive, and made a toe-tapping catch for 16 yards down the right sideline on the second possession. The rest of White's catches were short, and he recorded his 13th drop of the season late in the third quarter on a wide-open slant. He's scheduled to square off with the Aqib Talib-less Buccaneers in the regular season finale.

Roddy White exploded for 135 yards and two touchdowns on 10 receptions to lead the Falcons to a 41-14 blowout victory over the Jaguars in Week 15.

White was targeted a whopping 16 times in less than three quarters while consistently whipping an overmatched Ashton Youboty. He became the eighth receiver in NFL history to post five consecutive seasons with at least 80 receptions and 1,000+ yards while teaming with Matt Ryan to pass the Steve Bartkowski-to-Alfred Jenkins combo as the most prolific scoring connection in franchise history. White has a scoring streak of four straight games heading into Week 16 at New Orleans.

Roddy White hauled in seven passes for 84 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers in Week 14.

White beat a confused Captain Munnerlyn for a 5-yard toe-dragging score in the corner of the end zone to kick off the scoring. He came back later to seal the victory with a rolling first-down catch in the final drive. Averaging a 7/100/0.75 line the past four games, White is a top-10 option against Jacksonville's injury-ravaged secondary in Week 15.

Roddy White (shoulder) practiced fully again Friday and is listed as probable for Week 14.

White has been on the injury report for much of the season, but he has not missed a game all year. He can expect to square off with Panthers top CB Chris Gamble frequently Sunday, but has produced in tough matchups recently.

Roddy White (shoulder) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice.

White is fine for this week's game against the Panthers, as expected. Rotoworld ranks the surging Falcons star No. 5 among fantasy receivers for Week 14.

Roddy White was limited in Falcons practice with a shoulder injury Wednesday.

Wednesday was essentially a day off for Atlanta's receiver corps, as White, Julio Jones (hamstring), and Harry Douglas (groin) all turned in limited workouts. White is in no danger of sitting out Sunday's game against Carolina.

Roddy White - WR - Falcons

Roddy White caught four passes for 51 yards and a touchdown against the Texans in Week 13.

White drew a team-high 15 targets, but an errant Matt Ryan and tight coverage from Johnathan Joseph limited his production until a 4-yard touchdown on a blown assignment. Averaging 14 targets the past three weeks, White is on pace for 91 receptions, 1,175 yards, and 7 TDs. He'll draw Chris Gamble and the Panthers in Week 14.

Roddy White hauled in 10 passes for 120 yards and a touchdown to lead the Falcons to a 24-14 victory over the Vikings in Week 12.

With Julio Jones (hamstring) in and out of the lineup, White drew 13 targets as Matt Ryan's go-to receiver. White's toe-tapping 6-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone moved him past Alfred Jenkins for third on the franchise TD (41) list. Coming on strong, White has averaged 8.5 catches for 133.5 yards on 13.5 targets the past two weeks. He draws Johnathan Joseph and the Texans in Week 13.

Roddy White caught seven balls for 147 yards as the Falcons downed the Titans 23-17 in Week 11.

White made plays all over the field, particularly taking over in the second half. His 14 targets were easily a game high, as Tony Gonzalez finished second with only six. White's 43-yard bomb down the right sideline in the third quarter, with two Titans defenders in the direct vicinity, was an especially dominant catch. As long as Julio Jones (hamstring) remains out, White projects as a target monster. The Falcons face a weak Vikings pass defense in Week 12.

Roddy White caught four passes for 62 yards against the Saints in Week 10.

Not his finest performance. Yet another drop led to an interception, and Jabari Greer broke up a potential game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter. White is averaging 5.2 receptions and 62.6 yards per game heading into a Week 11 matchup with Cortland Finnegan and the Titans.

Roddy White caught four passes for 76 yards against the Colts in Week 9.

Julio Jones was the more productive of the two Falcons starters, but White's nine targets were three more than the next closest receiver. A recommended buy-low receiver for the second half, Roddy is on pace for 86 receptions, 1,002 yards and six TDs heading into a Week 10 tilt against the Saints.
