Patience of a Saint

Saints WR Willie Snead (hamstring) listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis.
He was drafted in fantasy leagues with such high-hopes this year, but suspension and this nagging hamstring have left us completely disappointed. Looks like he’ll be riding the pine again this week, we can’t play him until we see him heavily targeted or make a big play.

Snead gets suspended, watch these 2 guys step up in his place!

A huge reason the Saints traded Brandin Cooks was a me first guy, but truly it was because they thought Willie Snead and a speedy WR free agent in Ted Ginn could be just as good without the headaches and his huge price tag that was looming. Snead just got suspended for the first 3 games for a DUI.

Fantasy Goo: Coby Fleener just became even more of a value and Ted Ginn's targets went up as well. Alvin Kamara should benefit from this as well, but man Fleener to me is going to get a lot of targets this year. If he can't do anything with them, then I'll kill him personally because I have solid value ADP shares of him across the board in my drafts.

In general, I think Michael Thomas is already getting his regardless what else is happening around him, hence not mentioning his uptick much.

Word is, Snead Will Return for Week 4

Vegas has this game as the highest scoring game on the slate. Snead has been dealing with a toe injury but is expected to return to the action in Week #4.

Fantasy Goo: Toe injuries are one of the worst for WRs to come back from. It can linger and negatively impact their play. Snead did not even get in a full practice at all this week. I am fading Snead as there are a lot of mouths to feed in that offense, I like it when a guy gets in a full practice at least on Friday. As for Fleener, that chemistry with the QB could continue as SD has given up the most receptions and most TDs to the TE position.

Snead in Serious Question for Monday Week 3

Although it was reported he got in a practice on Friday, that was incorrect. Snead, although present, did not participate in practice Friday.

Fantasy Goo: Facing the Falcons, this is a great opportunity for Atlanta WRs. IF indeed Snead cannot go, check your waivers now as this is a Monday night game. See if Thomas or Brandon Coleman is available. If not, look on the other side of the ball, just know all three of the Falcons WRs are currently listed as Questionable. This game has the highest over/under of the week!

Willie Snead Misses Practice

Willie Snead was held out of Thursday's practice with a toe injury.

Fantasy Goo: You never want to see players on injury reports and missing practice late in the week, but this isn't as concerning since the Saints play Monday. It should be a great matchup in NO against the Falcons, so owners can dial Snead up with confidence assuming he's able to return to practice.

A Passing Attack to Fear

The Saints got career performances from Willie Snead and Brandin Cooks. Brees targeted Snead nine times and he caught all nine passes for 173 yards and one touchdown.Cooks caught six of the nine passes thrown at him for 143 yards and two touchdowns, including a franchise-record 98-yard touchdown reception.

Fantasy Goo: Drew Brees is already known to be one of the greats of this generations fantasy quarterbacks. Cooks and Snead are proving that 2015 was no fluke. With Fleener coming along a little slow to grasp the TE role Snead and Cooks are taking the ball and running with it. Snead may prove to be one of this year’s fantasy bargains…again in 2016. Cooks likewise and both hold strong DFS value for now with Snead being at a very attractive salary. Brees loves to chuck the ball and is unrivaled in doing so, meaning someone has to catch it. Continue to roll with these two and you should be set for the year.

The Saints Rookie Limited in Practice this Week

Michael Thomas was limited in practice Thursday and Friday. The injury looks to be minor but if he does go, he could be on a bit of a snap count. This is one of the 3 games that Vegas has pegged to score over 50 points. If indeed Thomas does not go, or is limited, expect Snead and Fleener to get a larger slice of the pie.

Fantasy Goo: Thomas flashed in preseason but let’s not forget he is indeed a rookie. I would hold off on starting him in Week #1 if at all possible as there is enough concern to limit him in practice. I think Snead is a great play. He is likely to have a superior matchup against CB D.J. Hayden. snead should own this guy on routes. Finally, although there has been talk about Fleener’s struggles with the playbook, all it takes is a TD, and when they get in close, he should be a great target for Mr. Brees. after all, Watson has left town along with his 110 targets.

Colston Out for Week 16

Colston is out. This game has the makings of a shootout. However, that is contingent upon Brees being able to play. I think Snead and Coleman will see an uptick in targets with the Colston loss. However, if Brees is unable to suit up, the offense will suffer all around, accept maybe Hightower.

Snead Takes a Seat this Sunday Week 13

Snead is not going to play in Week 13. They ahve a very tough matchup versus Carolina. This should give Colston a bump, he has the best matchup in the secondary, and without Snead, he should see more targets. When Cooks is on the outside, he runs routes from the slot 30% of the time, he should mainly see Norman. Although Colston's skills have been dwindling, he has several things working in his favor today.

Willie Snead should continue his success

Don't be scared off by receiver Willie Snead's zero-catch game at Washington in Week 10. It was a mostly random result on a rough day for the offense in a blowout loss. Snead is never a sure thing for a big game in a Saints offense that spreads the ball around. But he has had at least five targets and three catches in every other game since Week 2, which should continue. -- Mike Triplett

Active Indeed for Week 10

His sore knee is not expected to be an issue. Snead and Brees could be in store for a nice game. It will be very close, both teams have a ne expected team total of just over 26 according to NumberFire - this means there should be points-a-plenty to be had for fantasy owners. In th elast few weeks, Snead has really cemented himself in the offense with 25 targets and 2 TDs in those 3 games.

Willie Snead credits tactical route running

The Advocate reported about Willie Snead. Here are snippets from the article.

Snead readily admits he isn’t a top athlete. Just look at his combine numbers. He ran a 4.62 40-yard dash and was mediocre in the three-cone drill, 20- and 60-yard shuttles.

Yet he gets open. Consistently and constantly. It’s not because he blows guys off the line of scrimmage or runs by them. He’s a tactician and wins with his mind as much — or more — than he does with his body.

“I just make sure my routes are detailed,” Snead said. “Technician, that’s what people say. I work hard at my craft. That’s what’s put me over the edge. I don’t have the best speed in the world, but I get open.”

“He has good feet, and his strong lower body allows him to sink his hips and get out of a cut quick,” coach Sean Payton said. “I would say above the shoulders he is very smart and has very good football instincts. Rarely does he do something on the field that surprises you.”

“I find that he’s a very good decision-maker, and his body language tells me what he’s doing,” Brees said. “That’s what we’d consider chemistry.”

“It’s just that work after practice that people don’t see,” Snead added.

Finally, although there has been talk about Fleener’s struggles with the playbook, all it takes is a TD, and when they get in close, he should be a great target for Mr. Brees. after all, Watson has left town along with his 110 targets.

The Saints Rookie Limited in Practice this Week

Michael Thomas was limited in practice Thursday and Friday. The injury looks to be minor but if he does go, he could be on a bit of a snap count. This is one of the 3 games that Vegas has pegged to score over 50 points. If indeed Thomas does not go, or is limited, expect Snead and Fleener to get a larger slice of the pie.

Colston Out for Week 16

Colston is out. This game has the makings of a shootout. However, that is contingent upon Brees being able to play. I think Snead and Coleman will see an uptick in targets with the Colston loss. However, if Brees is unable to suit up, the offense will suffer all around, accept maybe Hightower.

Willie Snead should continue his success

Don't be scared off by receiver Willie Snead's zero-catch game at Washington in Week 10. It was a mostly random result on a rough day for the offense in a blowout loss. Snead is never a sure thing for a big game in a Saints offense that spreads the ball around. But he has had at least five targets and three catches in every other game since Week 2, which should continue. -- Mike Triplett

Willie Snead credits tactical route running

The Advocate reported about Willie Snead. Here are snippets from the article.

Snead readily admits he isn’t a top athlete. Just look at his combine numbers. He ran a 4.62 40-yard dash and was mediocre in the three-cone drill, 20- and 60-yard shuttles.

Yet he gets open. Consistently and constantly. It’s not because he blows guys off the line of scrimmage or runs by them. He’s a tactician and wins with his mind as much — or more — than he does with his body.

“I just make sure my routes are detailed,” Snead said. “Technician, that’s what people say. I work hard at my craft. That’s what’s put me over the edge. I don’t have the best speed in the world, but I get open.”

“He has good feet, and his strong lower body allows him to sink his hips and get out of a cut quick,” coach Sean Payton said. “I would say above the shoulders he is very smart and has very good football instincts. Rarely does he do something on the field that surprises you.”

“I find that he’s a very good decision-maker, and his body language tells me what he’s doing,” Brees said. “That’s what we’d consider chemistry.”

“It’s just that work after practice that people don’t see,” Snead added.

Patience of a Saint

Saints WR Willie Snead (hamstring) listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis.
He was drafted in fantasy leagues with such high-hopes this year, but suspension and this nagging hamstring have left us completely disappointed. Looks like he’ll be riding the pine again this week, we can’t play him until we see him heavily targeted or make a big play.

Snead gets suspended, watch these 2 guys step up in his place!

A huge reason the Saints traded Brandin Cooks was a me first guy, but truly it was because they thought Willie Snead and a speedy WR free agent in Ted Ginn could be just as good without the headaches and his huge price tag that was looming. Snead just got suspended for the first 3 games for a DUI.

Fantasy Goo: Coby Fleener just became even more of a value and Ted Ginn's targets went up as well. Alvin Kamara should benefit from this as well, but man Fleener to me is going to get a lot of targets this year. If he can't do anything with them, then I'll kill him personally because I have solid value ADP shares of him across the board in my drafts.

In general, I think Michael Thomas is already getting his regardless what else is happening around him, hence not mentioning his uptick much.

Word is, Snead Will Return for Week 4

Vegas has this game as the highest scoring game on the slate. Snead has been dealing with a toe injury but is expected to return to the action in Week #4.

Fantasy Goo: Toe injuries are one of the worst for WRs to come back from. It can linger and negatively impact their play. Snead did not even get in a full practice at all this week. I am fading Snead as there are a lot of mouths to feed in that offense, I like it when a guy gets in a full practice at least on Friday. As for Fleener, that chemistry with the QB could continue as SD has given up the most receptions and most TDs to the TE position.

Fantasy Goo: You never want to see players on injury reports and missing practice late in the week, but this isn't as concerning since the Saints play Monday.

A Passing Attack to Fear

The Saints got career performances from Willie Snead and Brandin Cooks. Brees targeted Snead nine times and he caught all nine passes for 173 yards and one touchdown.Cooks caught six of the nine passes thrown at him for 143 yards and two touchdowns, including a franchise-record 98-yard touchdown reception.

Fantasy Goo: Drew Brees is already known to be one of the greats of this generations fantasy quarterbacks. Cooks and Snead are proving that 2015 was no fluke. With Fleener coming along a little slow to grasp the TE role Snead and Cooks are taking the ball and running with it. Snead may prove to be one of this year’s fantasy bargains…again in 2016. Cooks likewise and both hold strong DFS value for now with Snead being at a very attractive salary. Brees loves to chuck the ball and is unrivaled in doing so, meaning someone has to catch it. Continue to roll with these two and you should be set for the year.

The Saints Rookie Limited in Practice this Week

Michael Thomas was limited in practice Thursday and Friday. The injury looks to be minor but if he does go, he could be on a bit of a snap count. This is one of the 3 games that Vegas has pegged to score over 50 points. If indeed Thomas does not go, or is limited, expect Snead and Fleener to get a larger slice of the pie.

I would hold off on starting him in Week #1 if at all possible as there is enough concern to limit him in practice. I think Snead is a great play. He is likely to have a superior matchup against CB D.J. Hayden. snead should own this guy on routes. Finally, although there has been talk about Fleener’s struggles with the playbook, all it takes is a TD, and when they get in close, he should be a great target for Mr. Brees. after all, Watson has left town along with his 110 targets.

In general, I think Michael Thomas is already getting his regardless what else is happening around him, hence not mentioning his uptick much.

Snead gets suspended, watch these 2 guys step up in his place!

A huge reason the Saints traded Brandin Cooks was a me first guy, but truly it was because they thought Willie Snead and a speedy WR free agent in Ted Ginn could be just as good without the headaches and his huge price tag that was looming. Snead just got suspended for the first 3 games for a DUI.

Fantasy Goo: Coby Fleener just became even more of a value and Ted Ginn's targets went up as well. Alvin Kamara should benefit from this as well, but man Fleener to me is going to get a lot of targets this year.

Word is, Snead Will Return for Week 4

Vegas has this game as the highest scoring game on the slate. Snead has been dealing with a toe injury but is expected to return to the action in Week #4.

Fantasy Goo: Toe injuries are one of the worst for WRs to come back from. It can linger and negatively impact their play. Snead did not even get in a full practice at all this week. I am fading Snead as there are a lot of mouths to feed in that offense, I like it when a guy gets in a full practice at least on Friday. As for Fleener, that chemistry with the QB could continue as SD has given up the most receptions and most TDs to the TE position.

Although it was reported he got in a practice on Friday, that was incorrect. Snead, although present, did not participate in practice Friday.

Fantasy Goo: Facing the Falcons, this is a great opportunity for Atlanta WRs. IF indeed Snead cannot go, check your waivers now as this is a Monday night game. See if Thomas or Brandon Coleman is available. If not, look on the other side of the ball, just know all three of the Falcons WRs are currently listed as Questionable. This game has the highest over/under of the week!

Fantasy Goo: You never want to see players on injury reports and missing practice late in the week, but this isn't as concerning since the Saints play Monday.

A Passing Attack to Fear

The Saints got career performances from Willie Snead and Brandin Cooks. Brees targeted Snead nine times and he caught all nine passes for 173 yards and one touchdown.Cooks caught six of the nine passes thrown at him for 143 yards and two touchdowns, including a franchise-record 98-yard touchdown reception.

Fantasy Goo: Drew Brees is already known to be one of the greats of this generations fantasy quarterbacks. Cooks and Snead are proving that 2015 was no fluke. With Fleener coming along a little slow to grasp the TE role Snead and Cooks are taking the ball and running with it. Snead may prove to be one of this year’s fantasy bargains…again in 2016. Cooks likewise and both hold strong DFS value for now with Snead being at a very attractive salary. Brees loves to chuck the ball and is unrivaled in doing so, meaning someone has to catch it. Continue to roll with these two and you should be set for the year.

The Saints Rookie Limited in Practice this Week

Michael Thomas was limited in practice Thursday and Friday. The injury looks to be minor but if he does go, he could be on a bit of a snap count. This is one of the 3 games that Vegas has pegged to score over 50 points. If indeed Thomas does not go, or is limited, expect Snead and Fleener to get a larger slice of the pie.

Fantasy Goo: Thomas flashed in preseason but let’s not forget he is indeed a rookie. I would hold off on starting him in Week #1 if at all possible as there is enough concern to limit him in practice. I think Snead is a great play. He is likely to have a superior matchup against CB D.J. Hayden. snead should own this guy on routes. Finally, although there has been talk about Fleener’s struggles with the playbook, all it takes is a TD, and when they get in close, he should be a great target for Mr. Brees. after all, Watson has left town along with his 110 targets.

Colston Out for Week 16

Colston is out. This game has the makings of a shootout. However, that is contingent upon Brees being able to play. I think Snead and Coleman will see an uptick in targets with the Colston loss. However, if Brees is unable to suit up, the offense will suffer all around, accept maybe Hightower.

Willie Snead should continue his success

Don't be scared off by receiver Willie Snead's zero-catch game at Washington in Week 10. It was a mostly random result on a rough day for the offense in a blowout loss. Snead is never a sure thing for a big game in a Saints offense that spreads the ball around. But he has had at least five targets and three catches in every other game since Week 2, which should continue. -- Mike Triplett

His sore knee is not expected to be an issue. Snead and Brees could be in store for a nice game. It will be very close, both teams have a ne expected team total of just over 26 according to NumberFire - this means there should be points-a-plenty to be had for fantasy owners. In th elast few weeks, Snead has really cemented himself in the offense with 25 targets and 2 TDs in those 3 games.

Willie Snead credits tactical route running

The Advocate reported about Willie Snead. Here are snippets from the article.

Snead readily admits he isn’t a top athlete. Just look at his combine numbers. He ran a 4.62 40-yard dash and was mediocre in the three-cone drill, 20- and 60-yard shuttles.

Yet he gets open. Consistently and constantly. It’s not because he blows guys off the line of scrimmage or runs by them. He’s a tactician and wins with his mind as much — or more — than he does with his body.

“I just make sure my routes are detailed,” Snead said. “Technician, that’s what people say. I work hard at my craft. That’s what’s put me over the edge. I don’t have the best speed in the world, but I get open.”

“He has good feet, and his strong lower body allows him to sink his hips and get out of a cut quick,” coach Sean Payton said. “I would say above the shoulders he is very smart and has very good football instincts. Rarely does he do something on the field that surprises you.”

“I find that he’s a very good decision-maker, and his body language tells me what he’s doing,” Brees said. “That’s what we’d consider chemistry.”

“It’s just that work after practice that people don’t see,” Snead added.

Patience of a Saint

Saints WR Willie Snead (hamstring) listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis.
He was drafted in fantasy leagues with such high-hopes this year, but suspension and this nagging hamstring have left us completely disappointed. Looks like he’ll be riding the pine again this week, we can’t play him until we see him heavily targeted or make a big play.

Snead gets suspended, watch these 2 guys step up in his place!

A huge reason the Saints traded Brandin Cooks was a me first guy, but truly it was because they thought Willie Snead and a speedy WR free agent in Ted Ginn could be just as good without the headaches and his huge price tag that was looming. Snead just got suspended for the first 3 games for a DUI.

Fantasy Goo: Coby Fleener just became even more of a value and Ted Ginn's targets went up as well. Alvin Kamara should benefit from this as well, but man Fleener to me is going to get a lot of targets this year. If he can't do anything with them, then I'll kill him personally because I have solid value ADP shares of him across the board in my drafts.

In general, I think Michael Thomas is already getting his regardless what else is happening around him, hence not mentioning his uptick much.

Fantasy Goo: Thomas flashed in preseason but let’s not forget he is indeed a rookie. I would hold off on starting him in Week #1 if at all possible as there is enough concern to limit him in practice. I think Snead is a great play. He is likely to have a superior matchup against CB D.J. Hayden. snead should own this guy on routes. Finally, although there has been talk about Fleener’s struggles with the playbook, all it takes is a TD, and when they get in close, he should be a great target for Mr. Brees. after all, Watson has left town along with his 110 targets.

Colston Out for Week 16

Colston is out. This game has the makings of a shootout. However, that is contingent upon Brees being able to play. I think Snead and Coleman will see an uptick in targets with the Colston loss. However, if Brees is unable to suit up, the offense will suffer all around, accept maybe Hightower.

Willie Snead should continue his success

Don't be scared off by receiver Willie Snead's zero-catch game at Washington in Week 10. It was a mostly random result on a rough day for the offense in a blowout loss. Snead is never a sure thing for a big game in a Saints offense that spreads the ball around. But he has had at least five targets and three catches in every other game since Week 2, which should continue. -- Mike Triplett

Willie Snead credits tactical route running

The Advocate reported about Willie Snead. Here are snippets from the article.

Snead readily admits he isn’t a top athlete. Just look at his combine numbers. He ran a 4.62 40-yard dash and was mediocre in the three-cone drill, 20- and 60-yard shuttles.

Yet he gets open. Consistently and constantly. It’s not because he blows guys off the line of scrimmage or runs by them. He’s a tactician and wins with his mind as much — or more — than he does with his body.

“I just make sure my routes are detailed,” Snead said. “Technician, that’s what people say. I work hard at my craft. That’s what’s put me over the edge. I don’t have the best speed in the world, but I get open.”

“He has good feet, and his strong lower body allows him to sink his hips and get out of a cut quick,” coach Sean Payton said. “I would say above the shoulders he is very smart and has very good football instincts. Rarely does he do something on the field that surprises you.”

“I find that he’s a very good decision-maker, and his body language tells me what he’s doing,” Brees said. “That’s what we’d consider chemistry.”

“It’s just that work after practice that people don’t see,” Snead added.

Patience of a Saint

Saints WR Willie Snead (hamstring) listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis.
He was drafted in fantasy leagues with such high-hopes this year, but suspension and this nagging hamstring have left us completely disappointed. Looks like he’ll be riding the pine again this week, we can’t play him until we see him heavily targeted or make a big play.

Snead gets suspended, watch these 2 guys step up in his place!

A huge reason the Saints traded Brandin Cooks was a me first guy, but truly it was because they thought Willie Snead and a speedy WR free agent in Ted Ginn could be just as good without the headaches and his huge price tag that was looming. Snead just got suspended for the first 3 games for a DUI.

Fantasy Goo: Coby Fleener just became even more of a value and Ted Ginn's targets went up as well. Alvin Kamara should benefit from this as well, but man Fleener to me is going to get a lot of targets this year. If he can't do anything with them, then I'll kill him personally because I have solid value ADP shares of him across the board in my drafts.

In general, I think Michael Thomas is already getting his regardless what else is happening around him, hence not mentioning his uptick much.

Word is, Snead Will Return for Week 4

Vegas has this game as the highest scoring game on the slate. Snead has been dealing with a toe injury but is expected to return to the action in Week #4.

Fantasy Goo: Toe injuries are one of the worst for WRs to come back from. It can linger and negatively impact their play. Snead did not even get in a full practice at all this week. I am fading Snead as there are a lot of mouths to feed in that offense, I like it when a guy gets in a full practice at least on Friday. As for Fleener, that chemistry with the QB could continue as SD has given up the most receptions and most TDs to the TE position.

Willie Snead Misses Practice

Willie Snead was held out of Thursday's practice with a toe injury.

Fantasy Goo: You never want to see players on injury reports and missing practice late in the week, but this isn't as concerning since the Saints play Monday.

A Passing Attack to Fear

The Saints got career performances from Willie Snead and Brandin Cooks. Brees targeted Snead nine times and he caught all nine passes for 173 yards and one touchdown.Cooks caught six of the nine passes thrown at him for 143 yards and two touchdowns, including a franchise-record 98-yard touchdown reception.

Fantasy Goo: Drew Brees is already known to be one of the greats of this generations fantasy quarterbacks. Cooks and Snead are proving that 2015 was no fluke. With Fleener coming along a little slow to grasp the TE role Snead and Cooks are taking the ball and running with it. Snead may prove to be one of this year’s fantasy bargains…again in 2016. Cooks likewise and both hold strong DFS value for now with Snead being at a very attractive salary. Brees loves to chuck the ball and is unrivaled in doing so, meaning someone has to catch it. Continue to roll with these two and you should be set for the year.

Word is, Snead Will Return for Week 4

Vegas has this game as the highest scoring game on the slate. Snead has been dealing with a toe injury but is expected to return to the action in Week #4.

Fantasy Goo: Toe injuries are one of the worst for WRs to come back from. It can linger and negatively impact their play. Snead did not even get in a full practice at all this week.

Snead in Serious Question for Monday Week 3

Although it was reported he got in a practice on Friday, that was incorrect. Snead, although present, did not participate in practice Friday.

Fantasy Goo: Facing the Falcons, this is a great opportunity for Atlanta WRs. IF indeed Snead cannot go, check your waivers now as this is a Monday night game. See if Thomas or Brandon Coleman is available. If not, look on the other side of the ball, just know all three of the Falcons WRs are currently listed as Questionable. This game has the highest over/under of the week!

Willie Snead Misses Practice

Willie Snead was held out of Thursday's practice with a toe injury.

Fantasy Goo: You never want to see players on injury reports and missing practice late in the week, but this isn't as concerning since the Saints play Monday. It should be a great matchup in NO against the Falcons, so owners can dial Snead up with confidence assuming he's able to return to practice.

A Passing Attack to Fear

The Saints got career performances from Willie Snead and Brandin Cooks. Brees targeted Snead nine times and he caught all nine passes for 173 yards and one touchdown.Cooks caught six of the nine passes thrown at him for 143 yards and two touchdowns, including a franchise-record 98-yard touchdown reception.

Fantasy Goo: Drew Brees is already known to be one of the greats of this generations fantasy quarterbacks. Cooks and Snead are proving that 2015 was no fluke. With Fleener coming along a little slow to grasp the TE role Snead and Cooks are taking the ball and running with it. Snead may prove to be one of this year’s fantasy bargains…again in 2016. Cooks likewise and both hold strong DFS value for now with Snead being at a very attractive salary. Brees loves to chuck the ball and is unrivaled in doing so, meaning someone has to catch it. Continue to roll with these two and you should be set for the year.

The Saints Rookie Limited in Practice this Week

Michael Thomas was limited in practice Thursday and Friday. The injury looks to be minor but if he does go, he could be on a bit of a snap count. This is one of the 3 games that Vegas has pegged to score over 50 points. If indeed Thomas does not go, or is limited, expect Snead and Fleener to get a larger slice of the pie.

Fantasy Goo: Thomas flashed in preseason but let’s not forget he is indeed a rookie. I would hold off on starting him in Week #1 if at all possible as there is enough concern to limit him in practice. I think Snead is a great play. He is likely to have a superior matchup against CB D.J. Hayden. snead should own this guy on routes. Finally, although there has been talk about Fleener’s struggles with the playbook, all it takes is a TD, and when they get in close, he should be a great target for Mr. Brees. after all, Watson has left town along with his 110 targets.

Snead is not going to play in Week 13. They ahve a very tough matchup versus Carolina. This should give Colston a bump, he has the best matchup in the secondary, and without Snead, he should see more targets.

Willie Snead should continue his success

Don't be scared off by receiver Willie Snead's zero-catch game at Washington in Week 10. It was a mostly random result on a rough day for the offense in a blowout loss. Snead is never a sure thing for a big game in a Saints offense that spreads the ball around. But he has had at least five targets and three catches in every other game since Week 2, which should continue. -- Mike Triplett

Active Indeed for Week 10

His sore knee is not expected to be an issue. Snead and Brees could be in store for a nice game. It will be very close, both teams have a ne expected team total of just over 26 according to NumberFire - this means there should be points-a-plenty to be had for fantasy owners. In th elast few weeks, Snead has really cemented himself in the offense with 25 targets and 2 TDs in those 3 games.

Willie Snead credits tactical route running

The Advocate reported about Willie Snead. Here are snippets from the article.

Snead readily admits he isn’t a top athlete. Just look at his combine numbers. He ran a 4.62 40-yard dash and was mediocre in the three-cone drill, 20- and 60-yard shuttles.

Yet he gets open. Consistently and constantly. It’s not because he blows guys off the line of scrimmage or runs by them. He’s a tactician and wins with his mind as much — or more — than he does with his body.

“I just make sure my routes are detailed,” Snead said. “Technician, that’s what people say. I work hard at my craft. That’s what’s put me over the edge. I don’t have the best speed in the world, but I get open.”

“He has good feet, and his strong lower body allows him to sink his hips and get out of a cut quick,” coach Sean Payton said. “I would say above the shoulders he is very smart and has very good football instincts. Rarely does he do something on the field that surprises you.”

“I find that he’s a very good decision-maker, and his body language tells me what he’s doing,” Brees said. “That’s what we’d consider chemistry.”

“It’s just that work after practice that people don’t see,” Snead added.

Patience of a Saint

Saints WR Willie Snead (hamstring) listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis.
He was drafted in fantasy leagues with such high-hopes this year, but suspension and this nagging hamstring have left us completely disappointed. Looks like he’ll be riding the pine again this week, we can’t play him until we see him heavily targeted or make a big play.

Snead gets suspended, watch these 2 guys step up in his place!

A huge reason the Saints traded Brandin Cooks was a me first guy, but truly it was because they thought Willie Snead and a speedy WR free agent in Ted Ginn could be just as good without the headaches and his huge price tag that was looming. Snead just got suspended for the first 3 games for a DUI.

Fantasy Goo: Coby Fleener just became even more of a value and Ted Ginn's targets went up as well. Alvin Kamara should benefit from this as well, but man Fleener to me is going to get a lot of targets this year. If he can't do anything with them, then I'll kill him personally because I have solid value ADP shares of him across the board in my drafts.

In general, I think Michael Thomas is already getting his regardless what else is happening around him, hence not mentioning his uptick much.

Colston is out. This game has the makings of a shootout. However, that is contingent upon Brees being able to play. I think Snead and Coleman will see an uptick in targets with the Colston loss. However, if Brees is unable to suit up, the offense will suffer all around, accept maybe Hightower.

Snead Takes a Seat this Sunday Week 13

Snead is not going to play in Week 13. They ahve a very tough matchup versus Carolina. This should give Colston a bump, he has the best matchup in the secondary, and without Snead, he should see more targets. When Cooks is on the outside, he runs routes from the slot 30% of the time, he should mainly see Norman. Although Colston's skills have been dwindling, he has several things working in his favor today.

Willie Snead should continue his success

Don't be scared off by receiver Willie Snead's zero-catch game at Washington in Week 10. It was a mostly random result on a rough day for the offense in a blowout loss. Snead is never a sure thing for a big game in a Saints offense that spreads the ball around. But he has had at least five targets and three catches in every other game since Week 2, which should continue. -- Mike Triplett

Active Indeed for Week 10

His sore knee is not expected to be an issue. Snead and Brees could be in store for a nice game. It will be very close, both teams have a ne expected team total of just over 26 according to NumberFire - this means there should be points-a-plenty to be had for fantasy owners. In th elast few weeks, Snead has really cemented himself in the offense with 25 targets and 2 TDs in those 3 games.

Willie Snead credits tactical route running

The Advocate reported about Willie Snead. Here are snippets from the article.

Snead readily admits he isn’t a top athlete. Just look at his combine numbers. He ran a 4.62 40-yard dash and was mediocre in the three-cone drill, 20- and 60-yard shuttles.

Yet he gets open. Consistently and constantly. It’s not because he blows guys off the line of scrimmage or runs by them. He’s a tactician and wins with his mind as much — or more — than he does with his body.

“I just make sure my routes are detailed,” Snead said. “Technician, that’s what people say. I work hard at my craft. That’s what’s put me over the edge. I don’t have the best speed in the world, but I get open.”

“He has good feet, and his strong lower body allows him to sink his hips and get out of a cut quick,” coach Sean Payton said. “I would say above the shoulders he is very smart and has very good football instincts. Rarely does he do something on the field that surprises you.”

“I find that he’s a very good decision-maker, and his body language tells me what he’s doing,” Brees said. “That’s what we’d consider chemistry.”

“It’s just that work after practice that people don’t see,” Snead added.

Patience of a Saint

Saints WR Willie Snead (hamstring) listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis.
He was drafted in fantasy leagues with such high-hopes this year, but suspension and this nagging hamstring have left us completely disappointed. Looks like he’ll be riding the pine again this week, we can’t play him until we see him heavily targeted or make a big play.

Snead gets suspended, watch these 2 guys step up in his place!

A huge reason the Saints traded Brandin Cooks was a me first guy, but truly it was because they thought Willie Snead and a speedy WR free agent in Ted Ginn could be just as good without the headaches and his huge price tag that was looming. Snead just got suspended for the first 3 games for a DUI.

Fantasy Goo: Coby Fleener just became even more of a value and Ted Ginn's targets went up as well. Alvin Kamara should benefit from this as well, but man Fleener to me is going to get a lot of targets this year. If he can't do anything with them, then I'll kill him personally because I have solid value ADP shares of him across the board in my drafts.

In general, I think Michael Thomas is already getting his regardless what else is happening around him, hence not mentioning his uptick much.

Word is, Snead Will Return for Week 4

Vegas has this game as the highest scoring game on the slate. Snead has been dealing with a toe injury but is expected to return to the action in Week #4.

Fantasy Goo: Toe injuries are one of the worst for WRs to come back from. It can linger and negatively impact their play. Snead did not even get in a full practice at all this week. I am fading Snead as there are a lot of mouths to feed in that offense, I like it when a guy gets in a full practice at least on Friday. As for Fleener, that chemistry with the QB could continue as SD has given up the most receptions and most TDs to the TE position.

Willie Snead Misses Practice

Willie Snead was held out of Thursday's practice with a toe injury.

Fantasy Goo: You never want to see players on injury reports and missing practice late in the week, but this isn't as concerning since the Saints play Monday.

A Passing Attack to Fear

The Saints got career performances from Willie Snead and Brandin Cooks. Brees targeted Snead nine times and he caught all nine passes for 173 yards and one touchdown.Cooks caught six of the nine passes thrown at him for 143 yards and two touchdowns, including a franchise-record 98-yard touchdown reception.

Fantasy Goo: Drew Brees is already known to be one of the greats of this generations fantasy quarterbacks. Cooks and Snead are proving that 2015 was no fluke. With Fleener coming along a little slow to grasp the TE role Snead and Cooks are taking the ball and running with it. Snead may prove to be one of this year’s fantasy bargains…again in 2016. Cooks likewise and both hold strong DFS value for now with Snead being at a very attractive salary. Brees loves to chuck the ball and is unrivaled in doing so, meaning someone has to catch it. Continue to roll with these two and you should be set for the year.

The Saints Rookie Limited in Practice this Week

Michael Thomas was limited in practice Thursday and Friday. The injury looks to be minor but if he does go, he could be on a bit of a snap count. This is one of the 3 games that Vegas has pegged to score over 50 points. If indeed Thomas does not go, or is limited, expect Snead and Fleener to get a larger slice of the pie.

Fantasy Goo: Thomas flashed in preseason but let’s not forget he is indeed a rookie. I would hold off on starting him in Week #1 if at all possible as there is enough concern to limit him in practice. I think Snead is a great play. He is likely to have a superior matchup against CB D.J. Hayden. snead should own this guy on routes. Finally, although there has been talk about Fleener’s struggles with the playbook, all it takes is a TD, and when they get in close, he should be a great target for Mr. Brees. after all, Watson has left town along with his 110 targets.

Snead in Serious Question for Monday Week 3

Although it was reported he got in a practice on Friday, that was incorrect. Snead, although present, did not participate in practice Friday.

Fantasy Goo: Facing the Falcons, this is a great opportunity for Atlanta WRs. IF indeed Snead cannot go, check your waivers now as this is a Monday night game. See if Thomas or Brandon Coleman is available. If not, look on the other side of the ball, just know all three of the Falcons WRs are currently listed as Questionable. This game has the highest over/under of the week!

Willie Snead Misses Practice

Willie Snead was held out of Thursday's practice with a toe injury.

Fantasy Goo: You never want to see players on injury reports and missing practice late in the week, but this isn't as concerning since the Saints play Monday. It should be a great matchup in NO against the Falcons, so owners can dial Snead up with confidence assuming he's able to return to practice.

A Passing Attack to Fear

The Saints got career performances from Willie Snead and Brandin Cooks. Brees targeted Snead nine times and he caught all nine passes for 173 yards and one touchdown.Cooks caught six of the nine passes thrown at him for 143 yards and two touchdowns, including a franchise-record 98-yard touchdown reception.

Fantasy Goo: Drew Brees is already known to be one of the greats of this generations fantasy quarterbacks. Cooks and Snead are proving that 2015 was no fluke. With Fleener coming along a little slow to grasp the TE role Snead and Cooks are taking the ball and running with it. Snead may prove to be one of this year’s fantasy bargains…again in 2016. Cooks likewise and both hold strong DFS value for now with Snead being at a very attractive salary. Brees loves to chuck the ball and is unrivaled in doing so, meaning someone has to catch it. Continue to roll with these two and you should be set for the year.

The Saints Rookie Limited in Practice this Week

Michael Thomas was limited in practice Thursday and Friday. The injury looks to be minor but if he does go, he could be on a bit of a snap count. This is one of the 3 games that Vegas has pegged to score over 50 points. If indeed Thomas does not go, or is limited, expect Snead and Fleener to get a larger slice of the pie.

Fantasy Goo: Thomas flashed in preseason but let’s not forget he is indeed a rookie. I would hold off on starting him in Week #1 if at all possible as there is enough concern to limit him in practice. I think Snead is a great play. He is likely to have a superior matchup against CB D.J. Hayden. snead should own this guy on routes. Finally, although there has been talk about Fleener’s struggles with the playbook, all it takes is a TD, and when they get in close, he should be a great target for Mr. Brees. after all, Watson has left town along with his 110 targets.

Colston Out for Week 16

Colston is out. This game has the makings of a shootout. However, that is contingent upon Brees being able to play. I think Snead and Coleman will see an uptick in targets with the Colston loss. However, if Brees is unable to suit up, the offense will suffer all around, accept maybe Hightower.

Snead is not going to play in Week 13. They ahve a very tough matchup versus Carolina. This should give Colston a bump, he has the best matchup in the secondary, and without Snead, he should see more targets.

Willie Snead should continue his success

Don't be scared off by receiver Willie Snead's zero-catch game at Washington in Week 10. It was a mostly random result on a rough day for the offense in a blowout loss. Snead is never a sure thing for a big game in a Saints offense that spreads the ball around. But he has had at least five targets and three catches in every other game since Week 2, which should continue. -- Mike Triplett

Active Indeed for Week 10

His sore knee is not expected to be an issue. Snead and Brees could be in store for a nice game. It will be very close, both teams have a ne expected team total of just over 26 according to NumberFire - this means there should be points-a-plenty to be had for fantasy owners. In th elast few weeks, Snead has really cemented himself in the offense with 25 targets and 2 TDs in those 3 games.

Willie Snead credits tactical route running

The Advocate reported about Willie Snead. Here are snippets from the article.

Snead readily admits he isn’t a top athlete. Just look at his combine numbers. He ran a 4.62 40-yard dash and was mediocre in the three-cone drill, 20- and 60-yard shuttles.

Yet he gets open. Consistently and constantly. It’s not because he blows guys off the line of scrimmage or runs by them. He’s a tactician and wins with his mind as much — or more — than he does with his body.

“I just make sure my routes are detailed,” Snead said. “Technician, that’s what people say. I work hard at my craft. That’s what’s put me over the edge. I don’t have the best speed in the world, but I get open.”

“He has good feet, and his strong lower body allows him to sink his hips and get out of a cut quick,” coach Sean Payton said. “I would say above the shoulders he is very smart and has very good football instincts. Rarely does he do something on the field that surprises you.”

“I find that he’s a very good decision-maker, and his body language tells me what he’s doing,” Brees said. “That’s what we’d consider chemistry.”

“It’s just that work after practice that people don’t see,” Snead added.

Patience of a Saint

Saints WR Willie Snead (hamstring) listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis.
He was drafted in fantasy leagues with such high-hopes this year, but suspension and this nagging hamstring have left us completely disappointed. Looks like he’ll be riding the pine again this week, we can’t play him until we see him heavily targeted or make a big play.

Snead gets suspended, watch these 2 guys step up in his place!

A huge reason the Saints traded Brandin Cooks was a me first guy, but truly it was because they thought Willie Snead and a speedy WR free agent in Ted Ginn could be just as good without the headaches and his huge price tag that was looming. Snead just got suspended for the first 3 games for a DUI.

Fantasy Goo: Coby Fleener just became even more of a value and Ted Ginn's targets went up as well. Alvin Kamara should benefit from this as well, but man Fleener to me is going to get a lot of targets this year. If he can't do anything with them, then I'll kill him personally because I have solid value ADP shares of him across the board in my drafts.

In general, I think Michael Thomas is already getting his regardless what else is happening around him, hence not mentioning his uptick much.

Word is, Snead Will Return for Week 4

Vegas has this game as the highest scoring game on the slate. Snead has been dealing with a toe injury but is expected to return to the action in Week #4.

Fantasy Goo: Toe injuries are one of the worst for WRs to come back from. It can linger and negatively impact their play. Snead did not even get in a full practice at all this week. I am fading Snead as there are a lot of mouths to feed in that offense, I like it when a guy gets in a full practice at least on Friday. As for Fleener, that chemistry with the QB could continue as SD has given up the most receptions and most TDs to the TE position.

When Cooks is on the outside, he runs routes from the slot 30% of the time, he should mainly see Norman. Although Colston's skills have been dwindling, he has several things working in his favor today.

Willie Snead should continue his success

Don't be scared off by receiver Willie Snead's zero-catch game at Washington in Week 10. It was a mostly random result on a rough day for the offense in a blowout loss. Snead is never a sure thing for a big game in a Saints offense that spreads the ball around. But he has had at least five targets and three catches in every other game since Week 2, which should continue. -- Mike Triplett

Active Indeed for Week 10

His sore knee is not expected to be an issue. Snead and Brees could be in store for a nice game. It will be very close, both teams have a ne expected team total of just over 26 according to NumberFire - this means there should be points-a-plenty to be had for fantasy owners. In th elast few weeks, Snead has really cemented himself in the offense with 25 targets and 2 TDs in those 3 games.

Snead is Active for Week 9

Sneaky Snead only put in limited practice time Thursday Friday, so as an owner, I was nervous. But he is active for Week9.

Willie Snead credits tactical route running

The Advocate reported about Willie Snead. Here are snippets from the article.

Snead readily admits he isn’t a top athlete. Just look at his combine numbers. He ran a 4.62 40-yard dash and was mediocre in the three-cone drill, 20- and 60-yard shuttles.

Yet he gets open. Consistently and constantly. It’s not because he blows guys off the line of scrimmage or runs by them. He’s a tactician and wins with his mind as much — or more — than he does with his body.

“I just make sure my routes are detailed,” Snead said. “Technician, that’s what people say. I work hard at my craft. That’s what’s put me over the edge. I don’t have the best speed in the world, but I get open.”

“He has good feet, and his strong lower body allows him to sink his hips and get out of a cut quick,” coach Sean Payton said. “I would say above the shoulders he is very smart and has very good football instincts. Rarely does he do something on the field that surprises you.”

“I find that he’s a very good decision-maker, and his body language tells me what he’s doing,” Brees said. “That’s what we’d consider chemistry.”

“It’s just that work after practice that people don’t see,” Snead added.

Patience of a Saint

Saints WR Willie Snead (hamstring) listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis.
He was drafted in fantasy leagues with such high-hopes this year, but suspension and this nagging hamstring have left us completely disappointed. Looks like he’ll be riding the pine again this week, we can’t play him until we see him heavily targeted or make a big play.

Snead gets suspended, watch these 2 guys step up in his place!

A huge reason the Saints traded Brandin Cooks was a me first guy, but truly it was because they thought Willie Snead and a speedy WR free agent in Ted Ginn could be just as good without the headaches and his huge price tag that was looming. Snead just got suspended for the first 3 games for a DUI.

Fantasy Goo: Coby Fleener just became even more of a value and Ted Ginn's targets went up as well. Alvin Kamara should benefit from this as well, but man Fleener to me is going to get a lot of targets this year. If he can't do anything with them, then I'll kill him personally because I have solid value ADP shares of him across the board in my drafts.

In general, I think Michael Thomas is already getting his regardless what else is happening around him, hence not mentioning his uptick much.

Word is, Snead Will Return for Week 4

Vegas has this game as the highest scoring game on the slate. Snead has been dealing with a toe injury but is expected to return to the action in Week #4.

Fantasy Goo: Toe injuries are one of the worst for WRs to come back from. It can linger and negatively impact their play. Snead did not even get in a full practice at all this week. I am fading Snead as there are a lot of mouths to feed in that offense, I like it when a guy gets in a full practice at least on Friday. As for Fleener, that chemistry with the QB could continue as SD has given up the most receptions and most TDs to the TE position.

Snead Inactive for Monday Night Week 3

Snead is indeed nursing a toe injury and will not play against the Falcons.

Fantasy Goo: this should be a high-scoring affair, look for an increased slice of the pie for remaining Saints receivers.

Snead in Serious Question for Monday Week 3

Although it was reported he got in a practice on Friday, that was incorrect. Snead, although present, did not participate in practice Friday.

Fantasy Goo: Facing the Falcons, this is a great opportunity for Atlanta WRs. IF indeed Snead cannot go, check your waivers now as this is a Monday night game. See if Thomas or Brandon Coleman is available. If not, look on the other side of the ball, just know all three of the Falcons WRs are currently listed as Questionable. This game has the highest over/under of the week!
