No. 5: Wide Receiver Mohamed Sanu (15% Owned)

If you missed out on the Calvin Ridley sweepstakes last week, here’s your chance to pick up another productive Atlanta Falcons receiver.

Mohamed Sanu, the Falcons’ No. 2 receiver last year, has seemed to take a step back in the depth chart due to the addition of Ridley to the team.

While Ridley did score two touchdowns in Week 4, he only played 54 percent of the snaps last week for the Falcons. Meanwhile, Sanu drew three more targets than Ridley and compiled 111 receiving yards against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Sanu’s veteran presence cannot be ignored. This Falcons offense is on the come-up, and Sanu is a crucial piece of the unit.
