I know I'm getting a stud TE

Is it more wisely to spend my money on a stud QB like Rodgers, Brees, Brady...or a stud RB in PPR like Forte?

I'm torn on spending my money between a sure thing QB or Forte

You'll win your league getting more of the $15-$30 guys.

Roddy is about the absolute safest wide receiver you can buy. The only wideout in a PPR league who will score more than Roddy this year is Calvin.

Since Matt Ryan arrived in 2008, he has averaged 97 catches, 1300 yards and 9 TD’s a season (He hasn’t missed a game in those seasons either) and hes cracked 100 catches the last 2 years.

Mark it down.

Roddy White himself said he wouldn't be as large part of the offense as he once was. I'm at work right now, give me some time... I'll try to see if I can find the article

Julio had a good year and Roddy still had over 100 catches. Julio isn't really a high target type of WR

The Falcons are going to air it out more than ever. Turners older, Gonzalez is older and all Jones does is take a safety with him down field, which gives Roddy more opportunity underneath.

Every year people take dudes like Larry Fitzgerald over him, but look at their stats.

Roddy White:

2008 - 88/1382/7
2009 - 85/1153/11
2010 - 115/1389/10
2011 - 100/1296/8

Larry Fitzgerald:

2008 - 96/1431/12
2009 - 97/1092/13
2010 - 90/1137/6
2011 - 80/1411/8

fukking consistent and now has help on the other side of the field in a pass first league with a team trying to go more in the air.

so basically its a decrease in targets but they are going to pass more?

sounds like a even swap. I'd still take Roddy as a top 5 WR in fantasy.

I'm sure he'll be around 5...I'm just thinking maaaybe you can get Welker for similar production for a lesser price tag...shoot, I may get roddy if the price is right

I just disagree that the only WR scoring more points than him is Calvin Johnson, seeing as Welker outscored him last year
