NFL
8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 5

Mohamed Sanu, WR, Atlanta Falcons

The Calvin Ridley show is something you want to be fading unless the Atlanta Falcons really start to ramp up his volume.

While he has put up ridiculous numbers in the last two weeks, he has still ranked third among Falcons wideouts in snaps played in each of those games, playing 62% of the team's offensive snaps in Week 3's eruption, then a season-low 54% in Week 4.

His 14 targets in those two weeks look solid on the surface, but the Falcons amassed 74 pass attempts in those games, and Ridley's modest 18.9% target market share also ranks third on the team.

Mohamed Sanu, on the other hand, has a 21.6% market share over the last two weeks. He has even played more snaps than Julio Jones in each of those games, and he's the only Falcons wideout to have been on the field for 80% of the team's offensive snaps this season.

Atlanta has a strong 27.25-point implied total this week, and Sanu should have no trouble turning his volume into fantasy production against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts.
