It feels like forever since Willie Snead has been on the field. Thankfully, he returns this week against the Dolphins. As for that matchup, I predict Snead will have a stellar game, ending with 100+ receiving yards and two touchdowns.

In their first three matchups, the Saints have sorely missed Snead. Week 3 was a huge improvement over the first two, but none of the receivers surpassed 100 receiving yards, which is a rarity. With Snead back in the lineup, the Saints not only have his consistency, but his versatility and potential for making big plays when necessary.
Snead is one of the team’s best route runners and could have been a huge factor in their Week 1 loss. Thankfully, getting him back during Week 4 will give the Saints such much-needed depth and more scoring potential.
While Brees has his fair share of receivers, Snead is irreplaceable. Even with the team’s focus on their run game, passing is always going to come first. If Snead is able to finish the game with both 100+ yards and at least a touchdown, then he’s on track for a breakout season. Despite missing third games, Snead still has a firm place in the Saints offense.
