3. Roddy White-Atlanta Falcons

For the first half of the playoffs at least, we may have a full-fledged fantasy zombie situation on our hands as White climbs out of the fantasy grave now that he’s apparently recovering from his injuries.  Last week, he was targeted 14 times and caught ten passes for 143 yards. If you used a high pick on White, you may not have been able to overcome his disappointing season to get to the playoffs, but if you did or if you can claim him, White could pay off in the next couple weeks.

He faces a pair of great matchups before two to steer clear of if possible. In week 14 he’ll take on the Packers who have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing WR and given up nine receiving TDs in their last five games. After that game, in week 15 he and the Falcons return to the dome and take on the Resdkins who allow the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing WR. He finishes with San Francisco and Carolina, but by then we’ll have a much better idea of what kind of value White represents in his current state.
