Mohamed Sanu (WR, ATL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: A quick riser on the waiver wire, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu finds himself in the front runner’s category this week. It may be odd that I have a front runner who also shares snaps with Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley, but as I have explained several times over the past week, the emergence of Ridley is good for Sanu. Since Week 3, Sanu has 14 catches for 220 yards on 23 targets along with two touchdowns.

Since arriving in Atlanta, Sanu has been the WR2 and even though he has played well, I don’t think he is suited for that role. Sanu is much better playing out of the slot as the WR3 on the Falcons. All three of these guys can coexist and play well. Jones will always be Jones, while Ridley will be highly dependent on touchdowns and Sanu will be able to secure some volume in PPR leagues. Sanu is a player I would be able to place in my lineup as a WR3 or flex play in PPR leagues.
