Mohamed Sanu Sr.

Mohamed Sanu was released by the Dolphins Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Sanu signed a 1-year deal with Miami in late-July and was released just over a month later. Sanu logged 177 yards with 15 receptions in eight games with the 49ers last season. The 33-year-old likely will get an opportunity from another team but should be left on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.

Veteran wide receiver Mohamed Sanu Sr. has agreed to sign with the Dolphins ahead of the 2022 preseason.

Fantasy Impact

Sanu, 32, has played for five teams prior to his signing today. Most notably he contributed to some talented offenses in Cincinnati and Atlanta. Sanu now joins a crowded WR room in Miami which features second-year breakout candidate Jaylen Waddle, and superstar Tyreek Hill. If he does make the Dolphins’ 53-man roster he could carve out a role in the offense, but fantasy managers are best off taking a wait and see approach before committing a roster spot to Sanu.

49ers wide receiver Mohamed Sanu Sr. (knee) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Sanu will join the 49ers ahead of their NFC championship matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. It will be interesting to see how Sanu Sr. is utilized.

WR Mohamed Sanu signed a one-year deal with the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Sanu was with San Francisco in 2020 before getting cut. He ended the season in Detroit, but will return to the 49ers to serve as receiver depth. He won't be a fantasy factor to begin the year.

Mohamed Sanu brought in four of five targets for 38 yards in the Lions’ 46-25 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

This type of stat line is the norm for Sanu, and he doesn't offer much upside in Detroit's passing attack. Fantasy managers who roll with him have to bank on a TD, but he hasn't been a prolific scorer since suiting up for the Lions.
