Makes four grabs in Indy Snead secured all four of his targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.

Impact Snead had five catches for 106 yards against Pittsburgh in Week 9, but he unsurprisingly fell back to earth in Indianapolis. The veteran slot man has only eclipsed 50 receiving yards twice this season, and he's only drawn five or more targets on once occasion. While he'll still see regular playing time at New England in Week 10, Snead should be considered a fairly low-ceiling fantasy option.

Paces team in receiving during loss Snead corralled five of seven targets for 106 receiving yards during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Snead led all Ravens in targets and catches, while his receiving total was 11 yards short of being three times more than the team's No. 2 option. The 28-year-old entered Sunday's contest averaging fewer than 25 receiving yards per game on the season, with no more than four catches in any contest. He'll face an Indianapolis defense Week 9 that just surrendered two receiving TDs to Marvin Jones while also allowing three other Lions pass-catchers to go for 50-plus receiving yards.

Makes splash play against Eagles Snead caught one of two targets for 32 yards Sunday against the Eagles.

Impact Snead again was lightly used Sunday, but he managed to make a splash play with a strong run after the catch on a 32-yard gain. He was on the field for 67 percent of the snaps, a slight uptick from his 60 percent clip Week 5. Snead is on a bye Week 7 before returning to action Week 8 against the Steelers, and while he'll still see plenty of playing time, the Ravens may start diverting more of their targets to young players like Devin Duvernay.

Held without a catch Snead was held without a catch on three targets Sunday against the Bengals.

Impact The veteran had caught all 10 of his targets on the year entering Sunday but was shut out by the Bengals. Snead played just 60 percent of the snaps -- 38 total -- which is in line with his season average outside of the Chiefs game in which he played 84 percent of the snaps. Despite playing a relatively high percentage of the snaps, Snead is not a major part of the passing game. He and the Ravens will travel to Philadelphia for a Week 6 showdown with the Eagles.

Efficient on low target volume Snead caught both of his targets for 20 yards against the Football Team.

Impact The veteran slot receiver has caught all 10 of his targets this season for 117 yards and a touchdown. While that's great efficiency, it also shows that Snead isn't drawing targets at a high rate (2.5 Tar/Game). He hasn't seen more than two targets in any game since the season opener, and he hasn't scored since then, either. Snead is a low-volume slot receiver in this offense. He will face the Bengals on Sunday.

Quiet against Chiefs Snead caught both of his targets for a total of four yards Monday against the Chiefs.

Impact Snead played the most snaps (47) of any Baltimore receiver but didn't factor much into the passing game. He was fifth among pass-catchers in targets and only mustered four yards on his two catches. Snead has now seen just two targets in each of his last two games after a big season opener with four catches for 64 yards and a touchdown. He will face Washington in Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient on low volume Snead caught both of his targets for 29 yards Sunday against the Texans.

Impact The veteran slot receiver continues to be effective when targeted, having caught all six of his targets for 93 yards and a touchdown through two games. Snead has a catch of at least 20 yards in each game as well. While Snead is effective in his role, it's not a role that adds up to much volume. He ranks fourth on the team in target share, and Baltimore has attempted a league-low 50 passes as a team. Snead and the Ravens will take on the Chiefs in Week 3.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes to rout Sunday Snead caught all four of his targets for 64 yards and a score in Sunday's win over the Browns.

Impact The veteran slot receiver played the second-most snaps among Baltimore receivers Sunday and tied for second on the team in targets as Lamar Jackson was spreading the ball around. Snead was extremely effective with his opportunities, though, as he caught all of his targets including a 19-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Baltimore's passing game still flows through Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown, but Snead is still the primary slot receiver in an explosive aerial attack.

Drops weight during offseason Snead said he feels faster after losing seven pounds during the offseason, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The change could help Snead gain separation from cornerbacks, but blocking is also a huge part of his distinct role in Greg Roman's offense. Despite signing a one-year, $6 million extension last fall, Snead isn't likely to see a big increase from last year's total of 46 targets.
