Scouting report

NO WR Willie Snead - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Arizona
Willie Snead caught six-of-eight passes for 85 yards in the Saints' Week 14 loss to the Bucs. With Michael Thomas (foot) sidelined and Brandin Cooks once again ineffective, Snead was the team's leading receiver. Thomas was limited in practice on Wednesday and even if he does play on Sunday, he'll see a lot of Patrick Peterson. Thus, Snead could be a sneaky start for Week 15 for those owners in search of a FLEX option for their fantasy playoffs. Snead ranks as our WR40 for Week 15.

NO WR Willie Snead - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Tampa Bay
Willie Snead caught two-of-five targets for 38 yards in the Saints' Week 13 loss to the Lions. Snead continues to take a backseat to Michael Thomas and Brandin Cooks in the Saints' passing game and hasn't gone over 50 yards receiving since Week 8. Granted, Thomas is currently dealing with a foot injury so Snead could be the Saints' No. 2 receiver on Sunday when they visit the Bucs. That said, he would still be a major roll of the dice and should probably just be avoided in all formats. Snead ranks as our WR45 for Week 14.

NO WR Willie Snead - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Detroit
Willie Snead caught five-of-seven targets for 38 yards and tossed a 50-yard touchdown pass to Tim Hightower in the Saints’ Week 12 win over the Rams. The touchdown pass came off a flea-flicker when Sean Payton was trying to run up the score on his former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. Only rookie Michael Thomas saw more targets than Snead, but the veteran wideout hasn’t topped over 50 yards receiving in his last four games. With Thomas continuing to dominate and Brandin Cooks openly complaining about his role (and thus, might receive extra attention from Drew Brees this weekend), Snead will be a risky flex option on Sunday when the Saints host the Lions. Ranked as our WR37 for Week 13, view Snead as a WR4 for this weekend.

NO WR Willie Snead - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Los Angeles
Willie Snead caught four-of-five targets for 33 yards in the Saints' Week 11 loss to the Panthers. Carolina did an excellent job limiting New Orleans' deep game throughout the night, which impacting the fantasy success of Snead, Brandin Cooks and rookie Michael Thomas. Snead remains stuck behind Cooks and Thomas, but he's one of the team's best deep threats. Ranked as our WR36 for Week 12, Snead does have some appeal as a FLEX option versus the Rams' No. 18 defense against fantasy receivers this season. That said, Snead is more of a boom-or-bust fantasy option at this point.

NO WR Willie Snead Week 11, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Carolina

Willie Snead caught 5-of-7 targets for 47 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints' Week 10 loss to the Broncos. The touchdowns were Snead's first since Week 2 and he has now drawn seven targets in five straight games. His yardage isn't there, as he's been held to below 60 yards receiving in six of his past seven games, but he'll be on the WR3 radar this Thursday night in Carolina. The Saints visit the Panthers, who rank as fantasy's No. 21 defense against wide receivers. Snead is our WR25 for Week 11 and can be viewed as a WR3 in both PPR and standard formats.

NO WR Willie Snead Week 10, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Denver
Willie Snead caught three-of-seven targets for 36 yards in the Saints’ Week 9 win over the 49ers. Those seven targets were the second-most on the team but rookie Michael Thomas, Brandin Cooks, Coby Fleener and backup tight end Josh Hill racked up more yards. Ranked as our WR34 for Week 10, view Snead as a WR4 against the Broncos’ stout defense.

NO WR Willie Snead - Week 9, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at San Francisco
Willie Snead caught six-of-eight targets for 56 yards in the Saints' Week 8 win over the Seahawks. Snead has seen a combined 26 targets in his last three weeks but has yet to find the end zone since Week 2 and his yardage total has been suppressed. There's plenty of opportunities to go around in New Orleans' pass-happy offense, but Snead appears to be settling into a No. 3 role behind Brandin Cooks and Michael Thomas. Snead ranks as our WR30 for Week 9 and should be viewed as a WR3/4 for Sunday's game against the 49ers (who rank No. 24 against fantasy receivers this season).
