Deonte Harris Fantasy

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris had seven receptions for 83 yards on seven targets in Sunday's wild-card victory over Chicago. Harris was just brought off Injured Reserve on Saturday after dealing with a neck injury and managed to pace the team in receiving yards. This was a season-high in yards for the pass-catcher, but he only managed 20 receptions for 186 yards and a score on 25 targets in nine regular season games. Therefore, he's not a worthy fantasy option next week, considering his normally small role in this offense and the fact that's he unproven. At best, he'll be a low-cost DFS sleeper against Tampa in the Divisional Round.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris (neck) was designated to return to practice on Wednesday after being previously placed on Injured Reserve. Depending on how Harris fares in practice this week, he could be activated from IR and be on the active roster for the wild-card playoff game on Sunday against the Bears. Harris has mostly been a special teams guy for New Orleans, though, catching only 20 passes on 25 targets for 186 yards and a touchdown in nine games (two starts) in his second season with the Saints. With Michael Thomas (ankle) expected to return this weekend after also being put on IR, Harris would strictly be receiver depth behind Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, rookie Marquez Callaway and Austin Carr.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris hauled in four of five targets for 44 receiving yards, including his first career receiving score. Harris' score was crucial, as it came with just seconds left in the first half, giving New Orleans a 21-17 lead heading into the locker room. The dynamic return man flashed some receiving ability at Division II Assumption University, so he's certainly capable if the Saints need some more receiving work out of him. With Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) out, Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) up in the air, and Marquez Callaway (ankle) banged up- Harris could be worth a look on the waiver wire in deep leagues.
