This could mean more looks for Brandin Cooks and Willie Snead. Brandon Coleman could benefit the most in terms of playing time.

Michael Thomas played 61 of 76 snaps (80 percent) in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Seahawks. It was just the second time this season Thomas led the wide receivers in snaps, also doing so in Week 4 in San Diego, and his 63 yards were a team high, marking the second straight week he led the team in receiving yards.

Snead played 74 percent and Cooks 50 percent. It was Thomas who led team in receiving yards as well, catching six passes for 63 yards against the Seahawks.

Michael Thomas should see more targets with Snead (toe) out, but the Falcons are second in allowing fantasy points to WRs so it's not a great matchup on paper, however the Saints are at home. TE Coby Fleener could also benefit and owners are hoping this is the game he gets on track.

WR Willie Snead is not expected to play Monday night for the New Orleans Saints as he recovers from a toe injury, sources told ESPN's Britt McHenry and Mike Triplett.

Snead labeled himself as a game-time decision after practicing on a limited basis Saturday. But the Saints apparently wanted to give him at least one more week of rest and recovery after he said he stretched ligaments in his toe last week against the New York Giants. If Snead doesn't play, that should provide a great opportunity for rookie receiver Michael Thomas. Thomas has 10 catches for 114 yards on 11 targets this season.

Falcons vs. Saints
Falcons
OUT
LB De'Vondre Campbell (ankle), LB Paul Worrilow (groin)

QUESTIONABLE
WR Julio Jones (calf)

Saints
OUT
T Terron Armstead (knee), CB Delvin Breaux (fibula)

QUESTIONABLE
DT Tyeler Davison (shoulder, foot), LB Dannell Ellerbe (quadricep), TE Josh Hill (ankle), DE Cameron Jordan (knee), WR Willie Snead (toe), S Kenny Vaccaro (ankle)

Jones has a calf injury for the Falcons and Snead a toe injury for the Saints. Jones was limited Saturday in practice but we had a report earlier Saturday that said he will play. Snead didn't practice Thursday or Friday and was limited Saturday. Michael Thomas would get a bump up if Snead can't go. It's a favorable matchup for both teams in what is shaping up to be a high-scoring game.
