Saints' Willie Snead was sneaky productive in 2016

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Willie Snead averaged 8.7 targets, 6.4 catches, and 81.1 yards last season in games he played at least 70% of the offensive snaps.

What It Means:

With the trade of Brandin Cooks, Snead figures to play in the slot in three-receiver sets and on the outside in two-receiver sets. Snead established himself as an elite route-runner his first two seasons, and the opportunity opening can only improve his fantasy outlook.

Our models project Snead for 952 receiving yards and 5.28 touchdowns on 72 receptions in 2017.
