Emmanuel Sanders Week 11 Outlook -

Despite Tre'Quan Smith missing a lot of the game, Smith played just 34-of-59 snaps against the 49ers. Don't forget he played just 22 snaps the prior week. It's tough to see Smith able to play in this game considering the hit he took, so we should prepare for a bigger role with Sanders this week. The Falcons are the perfect team for him to get more opportunities against, as they've allowed 16 different receivers to finish with 12-plus PPR points and finish as the WR37 or better. Sanders moves all over the formation, so he won't have one matchup in particular, but it's not like there's a matchup against the Falcons cornerback trio that isn't exploitable. Knowing the Falcons have allowed just 63.7 rushing yards per game to running backs, this should be a game the Saints go to the air, even if that is a bit risky with Winston under center. There have been just two games all season where Sanders has totaled more than five targets, so he's far from a lock for production, but he's a better WR4 bet than most this week.
