Is Willie Snead A Deeper Week 5 Lineup Sleeper?

It is amazing that this guy is only owned in 17% of Fleaflicker leagues at this point of the season. Coming into the season, the Saints were expected to be very thin at WR, with the exception of Brandin Cooks. Marques Colston and Brandon Coleman were supposed to be the second and third options for Drew Brees. Colston has not done much all season and, with the exception of an opening-week TD, neither has Coleman.

The next man up is Snead. All he has done is produce three consecutive games with at least four receptions and 44 yards. Not bad for a player most of us have never heard of. This week, the Saints visit the Eagles in a game that may not include much usage for running backs outside of the passing game. I expect Snead to produce the best game of his young career and probably have some effect on the result of the game.

Prediction: 7+ receptions, 100 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown
