The New Orleans Saints are really banged up right now, especially in the passing game. Receiver Marques Colston has a separated shoulder and quarterback Drew Brees is also banged up.
Fantasy football start/sit, Week 6: Willie Snead becoming hot fantasy commodity
Willie Snead could be getting hot in the Saints offense. We break down the fantasy implications.

With Colston out, it looks like it’s Willie Snead time. Snead busted loose on Sunday with six catches for 141 yards. He can catch the short stuff, but is really more of a field-stretching guy. On top of the Week 5 game, Snead also had a big Week 4 with six catches for 89 yards. He’s so hot right now.
The Saints are obviously missing Seattle Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham and they've had some issues scoring in the red zone. With Snead entering the week as a focal point, he should have a lot of red-zone looks coming his way in a very high-scoring game.
Fantasy impact: Snead should be owned in all leagues and he can be viewed as a very strong WR3 with major upside.
