The New Orleans Saints are set to face off against the Atlanta Falcons at home and they are hoping to shock their division rival and get a big win. Willie Snead is without question one of the more pleasant surprises in the NFL this season, especially from a Fantasy Football standpoint. He has been a major sleeper this year and is finally starting to break out as a big point playmaker.
Last week against the Philadelphia Eagles, Snead ended up catching six passes for 141 yards.
