Scouting report

ATL WR Mohamed Sanu Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Carolina Panthers

Mohamed Sanu caught 4-of-6 targets for 31 yards in the Falcons’ Week 16 loss to the Saints. It was a disappointing fantasy outing for Sanu, who was essentially a ghost in the first half before getting more involved after halftime. With Julio Jones (ankle/thumb) banged up, Sanu could have more of a role when the Falcons host the Panthers. Ranked as our No. 19 WR for Week 17, we like Sanu as a low-end WR2 if you’re playing this week. He’s a solid DFS play as well.

ATL WR Mohamed Sanu - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at New Orleans Saints

Mohamed Sanu was held to 2 catches for 23 yards on 5 targets in the Falcons' Week 15 win over the Bucs. The veteran has been remarkably consistent this season but this was a dud performance. The entire Atlanta passing game remains out of sync for reasons that are unclear. Ranked as our No. 28 WR for Week 16, Sanu is a borderline WR3 for Sunday when the Falcons visit the Saints. New Orleans' young corners are outstanding and Sanu was limited this week in practice with a knee injury so if you have other options, avoiding him on Sunday might be the best play.

ATL WR Mohamed Sanu Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mohamed Sanu caught 6-of-8 targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' Week 14 win over the Saints. The touchdown proved to be the game-winner for Atlanta, which held on for a crucial 20-17 victory. The yards were just two shy of Sanu's season-high and he continues to be a reliable fantasy starter. Ranked as our No. 20 WR for Week 15, view Sanu as a solid WR3 for when the Falcons visit the Bucs on Monday night. Tampa Bay ranks 30th against fantasy receivers this season so there should be more than enough targets to go around for both Sanu and Julio Jones.

ATL WR Mohamed Sanu - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. New Orleans Saints

Mohamed Sanu caught 3-of-5 targets for 43 yards in the Falcons' Week 13 loss to the Vikings. Matt Ryan only threw for 173 yards on the day so for Sanu to walk away with 43 of those yards was somewhat of an accomplishment. Outside of three field goals, Atlanta's offense didn't do much against Minnesota's outstanding defense.

Sanu and the Falcons will host the Saints on Thursday night. New Orleans has the No. 11 ranked defense against fantasy receivers this season and with Sanu ranked as our No. 29 WR, view him as a FLEX option only.

ATL WR Mohamed Sanu - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Mohamed Sanu caught 8-of-9 targets for 64 yards in the Falcons' Week 12 win over the Bucs. He also added a 51-yard touchdown pass when he took a shotgun snap out of the Wildcat formation, bombed the ball, then launched it 50+ yards into the waiting arms of Julio Jones. A high school quarterback, Sanu is now 6-for-6 for 228 yards and 3 touchdowns in his career as a passer. Incredible.

Sanu draws a difficult matchup on Sunday when the Falcons host a Vikings defense that ranks 10th against fantasy receivers. That said, Sanu has been highly consistent all year and should continue to play a key role in an Atlanta offense that is finally starting to find its groove. Ranked as our WR25 for Week 13, view Sanu as a WR3 for Sunday.

ATL WR Mohamed Sanu - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mohamed Sanu caught all 3 of his targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' Week 11 win over the Seahawks. Sanu nearly made a one-handed catch on Atlanta's first drive of the game but set the Falcons up at the goal line as Seattle's defender was flagged for pass interference on the play. Following a Desmond Trufant interception on Seattle's first drive, Sanu then made a one-handed grab in the end zone to put Atlanta up 14-0. Unfortunately, he was quiet the rest of the night.

Outside of Week 10, Sanu has scored double-digit fantasy points in every game since Week 7. He has a great matchup on Sunday when the Falcons host a Buccaneers team ranked 31st against fantasy receivers. Ranked as our No. 28 WR, Sanu is a FLEX option for Week 12.

ATL WR Mohamed Sanu - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Seattle Seahawks

Mohamed Sanu caught 3-of-5 passes for 29 yards in the Falcons' Week 10 win over the Cowboys. Owners who use Sanu as a weekly DFS play, given his steady production, finally took one on the chin. He wasn't heavily involved in Atlanta's passing game, as Justin Hardy and Austin Hooper caught the two touchdown passes and Julio Jones and Taylor Gabriel saw the majority of the targets. Still, Sanu had 60+ yards or a touchdown in three straight weeks prior to this dud on Sunday.

The Falcons travel to Seattle on Monday to take on a Seahawks team without cornerback Richard Sherman. Sanu should see a bump in targets this week but only ranks as our No. 33 WR for Week 11. View him as a FLEX option only.
