Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The funeral for White's younger brother, Tyrone Moore Jr., was held Thursday. Darnell Lafayette, 23, was charged with murdering Moore, 21, outside a nightclub. Although White, 32, is a crucial part of the offense and is on the verge of a contract extension, the Falcons understand football is secondary at this particular time. OTAs are voluntary. White missed some OTAs last season along with former teammate Tony Gonzalez, who is now retired. ... White had a string of six consecutive seasons with 1,000 receiving yards snapped last season as he dealt with ankle and hamstring injuries. He also had his consecutive-games streak snapped at 133. We expect a rebound season this year.
