Week 9 at Tampa Bay
Mohamed Sanu had his best game of the season in Week 8, catching nine-of-10 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons win over the Packers. The targets and yardage were season-highs for Sanu, who has now caught two touchdown passes in his last three games. With Julio Jones dealing with double coverage and a knee injury, Matt Ryan started to work the ball to Sanu, who had a monster final drive to help lead the Falcons to a come-from-behind victory. Sanu made a nice adjustment in the back of the end zone to catch the game-winning score for the Falcons in the closing minute.
Despite the big game last Sunday, Sanu ranks as our WR35 for Week 9 and should be viewed as a WR4 only. He has a great matchup versus the Bucs, and if Jones is banged up again, Sanu could emerge as Ryan's favorite target for the second straight game. But if Jones is torching the Bucs' leaky secondary, Sanu could produce a dud performance and leave fantasy owners high and dry. Start him at your own risk.
