Should You Start or Sit Bub Means in Week 7?
Means was the standout producer from Week 6 due to the carnage at the WR position for New Orleans in Spencer Rattler’s first start. The fifth-round rookie led the team in targets (eight) and led the secondary receivers in snap share (69.7%) in the blowout loss to the Buccaneers.
He was a big play threat during his collegiate days, an interesting strength, but more for when Derek Carr is back under center. No Saints players had a double-digit aDOT last week, meaning he will need to post another impressive target share to prove deserving of your trust. It was also encouraging to see him lead the team in slot targets, but that role is in flux as this team adjusts to the rash of injuries.
Means is more of an interesting option moving forward than in Week 7.
