After a slow start to his Atlanta Falcons career, Mohamed Sanu is finally having a positive effect on his new team.

After leaving the Cincinnati Bengals to sign with Atlanta in free agency this offseason, Sanu caught just 23 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns over his first seven games.
Against the Green Bay Packers last week, Sanu racked up a season-high nine grabs for 84 yards and the game-winning score in the final minute. He also got 10 targets, which is the second time in three games that has happened.
Sanu also has a pair of touchdown grabs in that span, and his other score actually came in Week 1 vs. the same Tampa Bay Buccaneers team he faces on Thursday Night Football this week.
All of this makes Sanu an intriguing fantasy play in Week 9.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Sanu as the 38th-best receiver for Week 9. He faces a Bucs defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to receivers this season.
Sanu should probably stay on the bench this week, but do not hesitate to play him if you need a fill-in player with other receivers injured or on bye weeks.
