Falcons' Mohamed Sanu: Targeted just twice

Sanu caught both targets for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia.

Analysis:

Sanu entered the game on a bit of a hot streak, with at least five receptions in three of four games and two touchdowns. If you were on the Sanu train, don't let Sunday sway you too much. Atlanta was unable to get its running game going, and it forced the ball to Julio Jones for a season-high 16 targets. Taylor Gabriel is emerging as a deep threat and warrants monitoring, but both were able to play well in Weeks 8 and 9, so don't assume that Gabriel's success will automatically come at Sanu's expense.
