Falcons WR Roddy White admits his role in the offense is set to shrink under new OC Dirk Koetter. “I know that sounds crazy, but we’ve got other guys out there that can play,” White said. “Julio [Jones] is going to be a big part of the offense this year. Harry [Douglas] is going to do wonders in the slot. We have to maximize our talent and get the ball in everyone’s hands.” White added that Koetter wants to go pass-heavy and use 4 and 5-WR looks. We love the news for QB Matt Ryan. As for White, he could see a dip in targets and still post WR1 numbers. He's coming off back-to-back 100-catch seasons. Don't expect him to make it 3-straight, but White remains one of the safest fantasy receivers on the board. He just lacks the upside of some of other top options like Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, and A.J. Green.
