This is good news right? Can he be trusted if he starts?

Thank god.

I'm still playing DHB at flex over him until he shows me something. His 3 point efforts bit me one too many times early in the season to play him without seeing results first.

If he looks good this week, I'll be playing him next week. No way I take a chance on him this week

I may take the bait on him in my flex if he starts, have Decker and Boldin on bye so I'm currently rolling DeAngelo in that spot.

Don't think it will matter. Both can be relevant in that offense. ATL run game is atrocious so Melting Ice will throw it 50 times a game.

I'll probably do that even if RW suits up, but the temptation will be there. I guess the silver lining of RW playing is that I am also going against Hairy D and I believe a serviceable Roddy will eat into his production, if only slightly. I'd rather Hairy D not drop a 30 burger on me like he has been doing the last couple of weeks.

Williams is hurting. He doesn't score you points except for his rushing totals. Stewart is back. Tolbert gets goaline. Williams value is drying up.

They aren't going to just throw white out there if he isn't healthy. If he is active you have to assume he's ready to go

Normally I would agree, however I assumed that earlier in the season and it wasn't the case. He was a decoy.

I think it helps because White will pull defenders as a decoy a lot, leaving Douglas wide open

Yeah, but Julio was around and the season was still potentially in tact. You are more likely to employ a decoy when you are 1-2 with high hopes.

It will lower the # of passes thrown his way but it may open the field up a little so the offset may be negligible in the end.

I definitely think it helps Sjax and tony.

I'm rolling with Roddy due to byes this week.

He's been saying he wouldn't play again until near 100%. The fact that he's practicing and getting ready to play tells me he's near 100% and will play well if he goes.

*He was walking around the sidelines last week without a limp.

How do you think this will affect Harry Douglas?

I think it kills Douglas. Keep in mind that Douglas played 2 full seasons without Julio before Julio was drafted. During that time, Douglas was alongside Roddy and only put up 100 yards 1 time.

i.e. Harry Douglas is NOT a "quality" wr in fantasy. imo
