Deonte Harty Fantasy

Former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harty reached an agreement on a two-year deal with the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday, according to a source. The speedy receiver from Assumption University finds a new home in Western New York. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Harty is more of a special teams asset as a return man, as he totaled just 64 catches for 793 yards and four touchdowns in his four seasons with the Saints after he entered the league as an undrafted free agent. The 25-year-old played in only four games in 2022 in his final season in New Orleans due to a foot injury. Harty will only have fantasy value in the deepest of leagues that reward points for return yardage.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harty (toe) suffered a turf-toe injury in the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks, according to a source. Harty will get a second opinion, but if nothing changes, it's likely an injury that will keep him out for a few months. He played just four offensive snaps on Sunday and has played a total of 24 snaps in four games this season. The 24-year-old has caught both of his targets for 13 yards so far in 2022, but he'll remain well off the fantasy radar moving forward due to his injury. The Saints receiving corps is extremely beat up with Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) both missing the Week 5 game, and rookie first-rounder Chris Olave (concussion) also left Sunday's game after suffering a concussion.

New Orleans Saints restricted free-agent wide receiver/kick returner Deonte Harty continues to seek a new deal with the team, but it sounds like he will still report to this week's mandatory minicamp, according to a source. Harty will make $4 million in 2022 on the second-round tender. The 24-year-old has primarily been a special-teamer in his three seasons in the NFL, compiling 690 return yards and 199 punt-return yards for the Saints last season while catching a career-high 36 passes for 570 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games. He'll only have value in the deepest of leagues that count return yardage, but he's been pushed further down the receiving depth chart with the additions of first-round rookie Chris Olave and veteran slot man Jarvis Landry.
