Roddy White 2010 Fantasy Projection

White should be just as productive in 2010 as he was in 2009. The acquisition of Gonzalez last year helped shift some of the defensive focus off White, giving him an opportunity for some spectacular games. White has also really developed a strong connection with third year starter Matt Ryan. A third year together should produce some very good fantasy weeks. Many fantasy owners may be concerned that Michael Turner’s return will mean less looks for White. Investigating the game logs, however, shows that White’s productivity remains the same whether or not Turner is in the game. If anything, Turner should provide the offensive balance and explosiveness Atlanta needs to make consistent redzone trips, providing touchdown opportunities for White.
