Wide Receiver Rank: #7
Overall: #28
White enjoyed his first season with Matt Ryan at quarterback. He built on his breakout '07 season with an even better season, finishing with career highs across the board (receptions, yards and touchdowns). In his last two seasons, White averaged 86 receptions for 1,292 yards and seven touchdowns. The Falcons offense is on the rise with a bunch of young talent leading the way. And White is the No. 1 target in the passing game. If Ryan continues to grow as a quarterback, White will see his numbers go up. White is a big, physical receiver. He has good speed and can make the tough catch in traffic.

White has moved into No. 1 receiver territory. He is a top-10 option for fantasy teams. We think '09 will be his best, finishing with more scores than the past few seasons. |

| Steve Wyche, of NFL.com, reports the Atlanta Falcons are trying to sign holdout WR Roddy White to a contract extension, however the amount of money discussed has been an issue. White is seeking more than the $9 million average and $16 million guaranteed Green Bay Packers WR Greg Jennings received in a three-year extension. The Falcons had hoped to reach a deal well before now, but they don't want the dollars to venture into Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald territory. Fitzgerald signed a four-year, $40 million deal last summer. |
