I took over a HyperActive 1 orphan team in the 2013 offseason. Despite success in the standings, I am still in the midst of making it my team. Roddy White was an original member of the orphan squad. He made plenty of starts for Team Chad and his market value was low enough in 2014 and this past offseason I held. White was a player I thought would see a value boost a la Reggie Wayne in the golden years in-season. Atlanta had Julio Jones, Roddy White, and not much else, right? Turns out it was Julio Jones, a sprinkling of Leonard Hankerson and then nothing…including Roddy White.
It has been a train wreck through three weeks and the tape on the over-the-hill receiver has been worse than the box score. The man cannot get off press coverage to save his life. As a result, I am out on Roddy White. Once I started shopping him, I decided in 48 hours he would not be on my roster. There are always a few watch list players I wish I could pick up (heck, I needed a tight end in lineup in Week 4 with Rob Gronkowski on bye and Austin Seferian-Jenkins injured).
