In fantasy football, the wide receiver position is the one that changes the most on a weekly basis. A top-10 receiver could quickly fall to No. 30 and vice-versa. The latter is the case for Cincinnati Bengals receiver Mohamed Sanu. He is now cemented as a top-15 pass catcher and should be started in all leagues.
Helped by the absense of A.J. Green for multiple weeks, Sanu has bumped up to being the 12th-best wide receiver in standard ESPN.com leagues. He is currently ranked ahead of Brandon Marshall and a few other big-name receivers. Sanu has 648 receiving yards and four touchdowns. in nine games this season. He finished the 2013 season with just 455 yards and two touchdowns.
Slated as the Bengals No. 2 wide receiver, Sanu will continue to get his targets and yards every week. Despite having just 20 yards last week, he still averages 78 yards per game. With Giovani Bernard hurt and Jermaine Gresham not playing well, Sanu will benefit from the lack of options in the passing game.
The Bengals travel south to face the New Orleans Saints. The Saints passing defense is ranked in the bottom five in the league. The unit allows opposing wide receivers to rack up 189 yards and score 24.4 fantasy points per game. If the Saints put up points like they usually do, Andy Dalton will be forced to throw the ball and play catch up.
If you own Sanu, you are undoubtedly starting Sanu. He is a top-15 receiver on a good offense. He is a WR2 in standard and PPR leagues.
