Deonte Harris Fantasy

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris caught one pass for nine receiving yards, adding one carry for a rushing yard in Sunday's loss to Carolina. Harris was looking to build upon a solid Week 1 effort that saw him haul in a long touchdown from Jameis Winston, though it was not to be, as the signal-caller and the entire Saints offense took a step back. Harris can make big plays from time to time, but his boom/bust nature makes him hard to trust for fantasy.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris will attempt to carry his Week 1 success into a matchup with the Panthers. Harris led the Saints in receiving yards last week, totaling 55 of his 72 yards on a deep touchdown pass from Jameis Winston. The speedster only played 44 percent of the offensive snaps, a distant second to Marquez Callaway, and only saw two targets- though he possesses the kind of big-play ability to make an impact with fewer opportunities. Quarterback Jameis Winston likes to push the ball downfield, meaning there's a good chance of the signal-caller connecting with Harris on another deep pass against a Panthers defense that gave up a 40-yard catch to Jets receiver Denzel Mims in Week 1. Harris can't be trusted in redraft formats with such a small role in the offense, though he's worth rolling the dice on in DFS formats as a cheap upside play.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris finished with two receptions for 72 yards and one touchdown on two targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay. Harris did pace the team in yards though he didn't see many targets. The receiver could take on a big role going forward as the team's receiving corps is quite depleted at the moment. Nevertheless, it will be hard to trust someone who is unproven in fantasy. For now, Harris should only be monitored in fantasy leagues until he proves he can be a consistent fantasy performer.
