Huddle Up: Sanu was a solid contributor in the team's passing game this season and finished the regular season with 703 yards and five touchdowns. He should be one of the starting receivers again in 2018 and can be a low-end No. 3 or a No. 4 receiver for fantasy owners.
-
Posted: 1/11/2018 11:14am ET
Huddle Up: Sanu and Julio Jones coexisted as well last week as they had all season. Jones, Sanu and Devonta Freeman are clearly Matt Ryan's go-to targets. Sanu can be started as a WR2 or flex even in a difficult matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles.
-
Posted: 1/10/2018 2:24pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu recorded four catches for 75 yards last week and should receive a solid amount of targets against the Philadelphia Eagles. He can be considered a No. 2 fantasy receiver or flex option in leagues.
-
Posted: 1/9/2018 3:20pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu saw a season-high 11 targets in the Falcons' big playoff victory last week, tallying seven catches for 71 yards. Even in a tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, Sanu shouldn't be overlooked in daily fantasy games.
-
Posted: 1/6/2018 8:55pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu doesn't come close to matching the upside of his teammate, Julio Jones, but as the teams still alive in the playoffs dwindle, you could do a lot worse than Sanu when it comes to finding a WR3.
-
Posted: 12/22/2017 4:09pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu has posted at least 50 yards in only two of the last eight games but does have three touchdowns during that span. He will be facing an improved New Orleans Saints pass defense but could still be a flex option in some leagues.
-
Posted: 12/21/2017 3:19pm ET
Huddle Up: Owners should check on Sanu's status later in the week to see if he is in any danger of missing Week 16. He is coming off a disappointing Week 15 performance but will continue to be a starting receiver for the Falcons. He has a chance to be a flex option in some deeper leagues.
-
Posted: 12/20/2017 4:14pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu should be fine for the team's Week 16 game but is coming off a disappointing Week 15 performance. He has been targeted at least five times in each of the last four games and could be at least a flex option in some deeper leagues.
-
Posted: 12/18/2017 9:32pm ET
Huddle Up: You'd think that if Julio Jones (five catches for 54 yards) had an off game, Sanu would be a beneficiary of that but alas, that wasn't the case, as the former Cincinnati Bengal was awfully quiet as well. In general, he's a pretty volatile option, with plenty of games in which he registered less than 30 receiving yards, so his owners can't be surprised when it happens here and there.
-
Posted: 12/16/2017 11:14am ET
Huddle Up: Sanu has been targeted 23 times over the last three games and is coming off a 83-yard performance in Week 14. He should have a favorable matchup this week and can be a No. 3 receiver or a flex option.
-
Posted: 12/15/2017 2:47pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu should be able to play this week despite the injury. He is coming off a terrific Week 14 performance where he recorded 83 yards and one touchdown. He should have a favorable matchup and can be a No. 3 receiver or a flex option in leagues.
-
Posted: 12/14/2017 3:36pm ET
Huddle Up: With the club's game on Monday night this week, Sanu should be perfectly fine in time for kickoff. He's coming off an outing that saw him record his most yards (83) since Week 2, doing so with a healthy six catches on eight targets. He also scored his fifth touchdown of the year. With Tampa Bay having the worst pass defense entering Week 15, Sanu is a logical WR3 candidate.
-
Posted: 12/7/2017 9:38pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu has been up and down this year, but by scoring Thursday night he has now logged a touchdown in four of his last seven games. While Sanu has some value in larger leagues, he's not someone you want to pin your playoff hopes on.
-
Posted: 12/3/2017 1:55pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu has been held to under 50 yards in four of the last five games but does have three touchdowns in the last six games. He should receive a solid amount of targets against the New Orleans Saints but is not a must-start option.
-
Posted: 11/26/2017 2:04pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu was fairly quiet over the last three weeks prior to Week 12 but does have three touchdowns in his last five games. He should receive a decent amount of targets next week but would not be a strong fantasy option.
-
Posted: 11/12/2017 8:52pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu has three or more receptions in seven of his eight games, but he has gone backwards with just 52 total receiving yards over the past two outings. Still, he isn't a bad low-end WR3 or flex option in most fantasy formats.
-
Posted: 11/5/2017 2:15pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu's yardage total wasn't great, but he was able to score a touchdown for the second straight game and third time in five outings. He remains more of a WR4 or flex option heading into Week 10 against the Cowboys.
-
Posted: 10/29/2017 1:33pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu has posted back-to-back solid performances and was targeted 17 times during the span. He appears to have a good role in the passing game and could be a flex option in deeper leagues.
-
Posted: 10/23/2017 4:54am ET
Huddle Up: Considering Sanu came back from a hamstring problem, these numbers aren't bad at all. Sanu is one of the bigger weapons in the Falcons' offense and should merit WR3 or flex status in future weeks.
-
Posted: 10/19/2017 2:36pm ET
Huddle Up: It's hard not to like any offensive player in the Atlanta Falcons - New England Patriots tilt. Sanu was playing well before succumbing to his hamstring injury in Week 4. If he's not on a snap count then he's worth a look as a WR3 or flex.
-
Posted: 10/18/2017 3:30pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu is on the mend and on his way to suiting up in Week 7 after being sidelined last week. The Falcons need their No. 2 wide receiver in what is shaping up to be a barn burner with the New England Patriots. Sanu's status needs to be monitored in the coming days, but if he's healthy enough to play then he warrants at least flex consideration.
-
Posted: 10/17/2017 9:33pm ET
Huddle Up: Outside of his 85-yard performance in Week 2 Sanu has been pretty quiet this season, so odds are you'll want to see him make a positive contribution before considering him for your lineup, even against a vulnerable Patriots secondary.
-
Posted: 10/12/2017 2:12pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu looks doubtful for Week 6. If he does miss the Falcons' contest then Taylor Gabriel and Austin Hooper should see more targets. Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman may also be more involved in the passing game. Gabriel and Hooper are sleeper candidates in standard leagues.
-
Posted: 10/9/2017 12:25pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu was expected to miss multiple weeks because of the injury, so he probably will be sidelined for at least one more week. Taylor Gabriel should have a bigger role in the passing game and can be a flex option in deeper leagues this week.
-
Posted: 10/1/2017 11:48am ET
Huddle Up: Owners will need to keep an eye out for an update on Sanu after the game or in the next day or two. Sanu was off to a solid start to the season, but owners should be able to find other options to use in their lineup is Sanu misses multiple games.
-
Posted: 9/17/2017 9:54pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu stepped up his game and was a nice secondary target in Matt Ryan's arsenal, which is exactly why he was brought in last season. Still, he is only worth a look as a low-end WR4 or WR5 in PPR fantasy formats heading into Week 3 at Detroit.
-
Posted: 9/16/2017 8:15pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu also caught a touchdown against the Packers in the postseason. He could be worth a look as a flex play in deeper leagues in Week 2.
-
Posted: 9/10/2017 3:37pm ET
Huddle Up: The Bears did a good job of containing Julio Jones, making Matt Ryan look to his secondary and tertiary options in the pass game. Despite the solid performance Sanu remains more of a WR4 or flex play in most fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams. The Falcons host the Packers in Week 2.
-
Posted: 7/10/2017 10:01pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu has always boasted a reputation for having great hands, and this statistic further cements that. The 27-year-old is coming off a year in which he logged a career-high 59 catches for 653 yards and four touchdowns in his first year with the Falcons, and might be on the verge of putting up bigger numbers. He's definitely worth consideration as a WR3/FLEX option.
-
Posted: 7/7/2017 8:16pm ET
Huddle Up: Sanu may be the No. 2 option on paper, but there is a huge gap between Julio Jones and any other player in Atlanta's passing attack. Consider him a WR5 for fantasy purposes.
