Willie Snead (1 Viewer)

Definitely. He's got about the same number of targets as Cooks, Colston is cooked, Coleman is not producing and there is no more Jimmy Graham.

 
I'm targeting him this week thanks to all the injuries I've had. He'll be my WR3 until SSS, Adams, or Stevie Johnson are healthy. Worth taking him over Ruben Randle??

well now that colston has a separated shoulder, it seems like snead is a every week wr3

I think he was going to be an every week WR3 in PPR regardless of the Colston injury, Colston looked done. I should've listened to my own advice and prioritized Snead last week.

 
Grabbed him just before last week's deadline, just due to his numbers trending up. I haven't seen him play and know nothing about him. What's he like? How is he succeeding?

The Lance Moore mention is interesting in that, iirc, there was an inconsistent but somewhat predictable usage pattern there.

 
I picked him up after Week 2 as a flyer and Cooks insurance.

I've since traded Cooks and I think Snead is worth starting in PPR leagues going forward.

i watched the game last week. Eagles double-teamed him at times and Brees still looked his way. i'm sure one of these weeks he will have like 1 catch for 7 yards, but for the most paer u feel confident with him in my starting line-up

 
Picked him up in 3 dynasty leagues just before week 2.... Didn't think NO had an established WR2. Now I realize they didn't have an established WR1. Getting offers for him in all 3 leagues so his value is still trending up. Forced to start him in 2 leagues, may start over guys like M Jones/Clay/Abdullah in the 3rd

Yeah, I'm rolling him out as my WR4 since R. Randle is dinged (even if he was healthy probably)

 
He looked strong breaking a tackle on the 24 yard catch, and a tough sideline grab with tight coverage on his 8 yard catch - he looks open across the middle often, he has an Alshon ceiling

LOL... No. He's not even the main focus of the defense. He gets open because they focus on taking out Cooks and stopping the run. It's nice for fantasy, but let's not get carried away.

 
I was debating him and duke at flex all week and ended up choosing snead. Not the worst game ever but certainly disappointed. Watson basically took a ton of the targets i was existing snead to get. I still think hes a wr3 ros.

Probably better ROS than his teammate Cooks.

 
for where you slot in in the lineup, last night was just short of fine. At least it wasn't a donut. Cant expect 140 each week, just wish he got that TD

 
Relax, game script. How often will the Saints be playing with a lead due to that many opponent mistakes? I don't mind him averaging somewhere between last week and this week. He was also less than 2 yards from a touchdown.

Game script. Exactly. Coming into this game it was clear the Falcons can't cover TEs, and the Sains wisely planned to attack that weakness with Ben Watson, so that took a bunch of targets from other guys. I think Snead will be fine.

Now, Brees has always spread the ball around. As a result many NO receivers over the years have shown wildly inconsistent weekly production...big stats one week, little or nothing the next week. That concern will probably be stuck in the back of my mind all year, but Snead's usage so far is extremely encouraging.

 
injured week 9 I think? Poor game playing through injury then bye week as far as I know. I'm expecting a nice bounce back for him with both of the top Houston CB's out.

Haven't heard much. One of the annoying things with a WW find like Snead is that, if he has a bad game, he tends to just fall off of people's radar. When Eddie Lacy poops the bed, we get endless articles written about him. But I've seen very little explaining exactly what happened to Snead before the bye. I think it may have been injury-related, but haven't seen anyone discussing it.

Based on his season-long production, I'm going to assume he'll be all right going forward. Starting him over Ginn this week.

 
dropped him. picked up terrance williams w romo back. snead always seemed to have a solid floor until he laid an egg. def not a guy that will win your matchup, but if you've got nothing else for your WR2 or flex, his floor should get u a few points.
