Sitting Sanu for Green and Megatron (pulled off trades while both have been injured to make a playoff run).

Sanu will get the rookie tonight while green should draw Joe haden. Dalton will feed sanu he has a lot of trust in him just watch some of the highlights. Dalton just chucks it up and let's Sanu make plays. I could easily see him getting over 100yards receiving tonight.

I'm facing Sanu in one league tonight and I just realized that Buster Skrine will be covering him. That dude gives up big plays like it's his sole purpose in life. ####.

Hahaha I'm sorry but reread this and laughed out loud. This has to blow. I started sanu but was only as my flexATB said:
I knew he was bad, but I did not know Dalton could be *THIS* bad. He couldn't even compile garbage time stats in the 2nd half.

This is how bad my week will be: I'm now projected to have 99 pts vs my opponent's projected 112. Not terrible, but...... He has not yet replaced his D/ST or K who are each ON BYE this week!
I may get STOMPED by an incomplete team.
Because of Andy ####### Dalton. Disgusting.

Bumpski. What are the thoughts on Sanu going forward?
This guy's an enigma -- has all the talent in the world, showed us some flashes as usual with Green out, can have a game that goes over 90 yards or ones where he struggles to crack 50.
I think Dalton is certainly more to blame, but looking at where Sanu is, can we trust he'll reliably be getting around 5 catches or more a game? Seems to be targeted reliably just under 10 times a game, but FF output is untrustworthy.
Do you hold knowing that talent, like cream, rises in the end? Will Cincy's D continue to pay cruddy making Sanu more valuable as they try to win games over the stretch?
Or does Dalton continue to stink, and is it actually better at this point to be jettisoning Sanu as a result for potentially more flavorful targets with lower potential floors but higher upside like Jordan Matthews, Mike Evans, Odell Beckham Jr., Martavis Bryant, Brandin Cooks, etc.
Hard to let Sanu go given his talent, but you can't get too attached if another player is going to net out with more points through the stretch.

Dalton throws up those stinkers every once in a while. It's just who he uses.
Usually, he bounces back pretty quickly. You can expect the whole Cincy offense to be useless about 3 times a year, but I don't think that means you should abandon them in the other weeks.

I'm assuming if K. Lewis is healthy that he'll be sticking to Green like glue in this match-up. I still like Green to break free but I have to assume Sanu draws the better match-up this week. I know this emulates last week where Green drew Haden and Sanu drew Skrine but I think we can all agree that game was a bit of an outlier.

Not necessarily. I'm sure Dalton is missing Sanu by miles in practice, too.
Really not sure what to think of Sanu, but cut bait with him in one league for Mike Evans. Similar targets (Evans 39, Sanu 42), comp yardage (585 to 648) and YPR (15.0 to 15.4) and TDs (4 to 5). Taking the hot hand and will live with what happens.

To clear up some of the worries. The odds of Dalton playing that bad again are infinitesimally small. It's a non-primetime game at NO in the dome. NO is giving up the 11th most points to QBs, 5th most to WRs. The O/U is 50 and CIN is projected to throw all game.
Let me put it this way, I'm heavily debating stacking Dalton/Green in DFS.

Sanu almost performed *too* well yesterday. I had planned on doing a one-week plug and play to help cover bye weeks and injuries (I wouldn't have even picked him up if Parker had played on Thursday), but now I don't feel like I can drop him. I'm sure there will be games where Julio will bust out and Sanu's role will diminish, but right now he's putting up very steady production.

Reminds me of everyone popping a fantasy chubby over Jameis/Evans' playoff schedule last year.

He and Jordy Nelson are right next to each other in this week's PPR Top 200 Forward. I had a trade where someone asked for Sanu and I actually gave Jordy instead and wanted to keep Sanu. I love his floor and I can't get past his playoff schedule.
Funchess and Manny Sanders are probably close but not the other two IMO.

NO isn't the match-up for WRs it once was. Lattimore and Crawley are playing very well right. However, Sanu will mostly see Vacarro which is technically one of the best match-ups a slot WR can have. Everyone wants to trade for Julio because of his playoff schedule but I'd much rather trade for Sanu.
