Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: All the hype was pointed towards Saints receivers Brandon Coleman and Brandon Cooks during the offseason. Meanwhile, Willie Snead has somehow managed to outdo them both so far in the 2015 fantasy football season.

Snead currently leads the team in yardage (240 receiving yards), despite being 4th on the team in targets (22) and 3rd in receptions (16) - and he's currently tied for the team lead in receiving touchdowns (1). With Brees making his return to the lineup, he showed no fear of targeting Snead over and over as he separated from cornerbacks at will.

Snead delivered, catching all six of his targets for 89 yards. With the supporting cast of receivers around him struggling, Snead's rise to relevance could be huge in an offense that has always made at least one fantasy star receiver a year.
