Wide Receiver Rank: #3 Overall: #13
White had a dominating season at the receiver position last year. He set career highs in receptions and yardage, topping 100 receptions for the first time in his career. White also scored double-digit touchdowns for the second straight season. White had five 100-yard games and three games with double-digit receptions. White has four straight seasons with 1,000 yards, averaging 93 receptions for 1,282 yards and nine touchdowns during that stretch. White is the top target in the Falcons passing attack. He is a big, physical receiver with good speed and plus hands. He can make plays with his legs, but also isn't afraid to make the tough catch in traffic. The Falcons like to run the ball, but are relying on the pass more and more these days, which is a plus for White.

You can make a case for White to be the top-rated fantasy receiver this season. He does it all, getting big reception, yardage and touchdown totals. He might have a hard time matching last season, especially with Julio Jones stealing targets, but White should come close as he is in the prime of his career in a very good offense. White should get around 100 receptions for 1,200 yards and double-digit scores. |
