Swifter02 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Any one rolling with him fresh out the gate? Thoughts on initial involvement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 The Saints' WRs are like the Patriots' RBs, anyone can explode at any given moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Not rolling with him the first week. If I didn't have a better option I guess I'd be ok starting him at flex but I have better options this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 It's not like Snead is coming back from injury. If I had the need to start him I would but I have better options. I did manage to pick him up in a league where he was apparently forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Well now he's on the injury report (hamstring) and is questionable lol. Looks like he is a hold for now and I wouldn't even think of starting him until week 7. But he is a great late season stash for playoff teams.

BrockStaysHigh Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Yeah he was practicing on an adjacent field to the team this week anyway. I think theyre giving him a week to get back in game shape b4 they start making him a part of the game plan. He'll be worth having later on tho as last year he had almost 1,000 yards with both thomas n cooks ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swifter02 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 We start 3 WRs in my main...My receivers as of today = Crabtree, Hilton, Snead, Shepard, Diggs. Was very happy with the group beginning of year. Minus Crabtree this group is absolutely killing me. Hilton has basically become a WR4 / 5...Snead who I thought would be a legit 2 after suspension isn't playing, and I swapped out Shepard for Snead this week to get a big fat 0. With even average production from this group I would be in contention...and to think that Dak Prescott was my biggest concern regarding lineup weakness at start of season. Venting, sorry.

cubdaddy Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I have Snead too and I’m anxiously awaiting him coming back to relevance...it seems Coleman is really not getting the targets...they seem to be going to Kamara and Ginn Jr...not sure what to do with Snead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdko Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Ted Ginn's targets don't compete with Snead's IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever in debt to mo lewis Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 one has to wonder if snead is deep in paytons doghouse...something just seems strange here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Maybe Snead was never that good. Brees is good enough to make an average player look better than the reality. Interestingly, the Saints have been using two tight ends on more than 30% of snaps. Maybe it is to improve their run blocking which has been poor. And when they haven't had two tight ends, they've often chosen to have 6'6" Brandon Coleman in the slot. It seems like a conscious effort of choosing size over quickness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a conscious effort of choosing size over quickness. Snead isn't a star, but he is very good. He's smart, reliable, Brees trusts him and he's an excellent route runner. I think it's more the situation of his suspension and then the injury. Kamara isn't helping either with the amount of touches he's getting.

BeeR Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I think the emergence of Kamara hurts him more than many realize. Just too many mouths to feed on the team for him to likely get you many pts, though he'll probably have a blowup week here or there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdko Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Just think about it this way. I think most of us agree that Kamara has had the largest impact on Snead's value, and Coleman has taken the other share of those targets with redzone looks. Is the team better with Snead, or Kamara on the field? Personally, I think the team is a lot better with Kamara lining up on the field.

doobwaa Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I like Snead but he really isn't more than a WR3 at best --- in a PPR league imo .... hes a good bye week filler or injury cover getting 5-8 targets with minimal red zone looks plus I think Brees may be throwing a bit less so far this year as the D has been playing a lot better than years past (cant believe I said that) even when he's 100% I don't think he's an automatic start, especially not when he's less than 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
