After two straight games without a reception Falcons wide receiver Roddy White had two catches for eight yards during Sunday’s 48-21 victory against the Texans.
The Falcons have focused on throwing frequently to wide receiver Julio Jones with Leonard Hankerson as the main complement. That’s left fewer opportunities for White, who led the team’s wide receivers with 187 snaps through the first three games.
“I’m cool with it,” White said. “I can’t complain. No complaints from me. We are winning. We’ve just got to continue to do what we’ve been doing and try to get better every week.”
White was targeted four times during the Texans game. White had four receptions for 84 yards in the season-opener vs. the Eagles but had no catches on one target in Week 2 against the Giants and no targets or catches last week against the Cowboys (though he had a 17-yard catch nullified by a penalty).
White, 33, is the franchise’s all-time leader in receptions, yards and TD receptions. White had his streak of 130 games with a reception snapped when he didn’t catch a pass against the Giants
