Wide Receivers

Start

Mohamed Sanu, Atlanta Falcons vs. New York Jets – In his first game back from injury he finished with 6 receptions for 65 yards. It was his second game of the season with six receptions and third with at least five. In a favorable matchup against the Jets this week, he’s FLEX material.

Juju Smith-Schuster, Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Detroit Lions – Martavis Bryant looks to be benched for the week and Juju’s snap-count keeps rising. I believe he’s worthy of a FLEX spot for desperate owners.

Sit

Kenny Stills, Miami Dolphins vs. Baltimore Ravens – He had a helluva game last week but that was against the Jets. The Ravens defense is a different animal and I don’t trust Stills to get open deep against them.

T.Y. Hilton, Indianapolis Colts vs. Cincinnati Bengals – Hilton now has three total receptions over the last two games and the Bengals have been solid against the pass for most of the season. Hilton is a big name but he needs to be on benches this week.
