Deonte Harty Fantasy

Buffalo Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir and Deonte Harty will compete to be the starting slot receiver in a more traditional 11-personnel look this summer at training camp. However, whoever wins the job could concede a lot of snaps to first-round tight end Dalton Kincaid, who is expected to be lined up a lot as a receiver in his rookie year. Shakir, Harty and Trent Sherfield can also play outside in the Stefon Diggs role if needed, and Sherfield and rookie Justin Shorter can both fill in for Davis if he were to miss any time. There is opportunity for Shakir and Harty to carve out a nice role for themselves in this offense, but it's unlikely to be a prominent fantasy one if Kincaid is as heavily involved as everyone expects him to be.

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.
