Primed for a big game. He's 2nd on the team behind Gonzales on redzone targets. And that was with Julio and Roddy.

Should be a solid play.

Not sold.

If he's a desperation play, I understand. I'm not buying the hype beyond that. He's scored exactly 1 TD per season in 4 seasons. He hasn't scored this year, so maybe this is the game, but I have a feeling people will be highly disappointed - even in PPR.

Drizz I usually agree with you, but it think Harry is in a prime position to have a solid last 2/3's to the season.













I took K Allen over Harry.

I could be wrong for sure.

He's definitely going to get the opportunity with Julio done and White out/hobbled. I just don't believe in his ability.

I am hoping this situation is like the Brandon Jacobs situation. Everybdy knew the opportunity was there but felt the player didn't have the ability. They were wrong about Jacobs and keeping fingers crossed for the same.

You & me both. If Jacobs comes on strong, I am stacked.

He has been the 5th option for those 4 seasons. He's now the 2nd option with the injuries. He will get several looks. Probably 8-10.

I understand. To me it's a prove it first. I don't think he's a good talent, but that doesn't mean the opportunity won't equal success.

I consider this more of a Ryan Broyles situation. Hasn't done shite, gets opportunity, people expect PPR goodness, he disappoints.

Douglas has played longer and accomplished more than Broyles, but I would temper expectations.

Classic too much hype takes away the sneaky play.

Broyles was never just given automatic targets. He never separated himself from Burleson, Durham, Patrick Edwards etc.

Douglas is the WR1. He is getting targets by default. A guy named Kevin Cone is the only other active WR with a catch. He has 1. Douglas's numbers are pretty damn good for a guy who has been a 4th option In the passing game over the years. He tore the saints up once or twice

Not a good measure of effectiveness.

Still

He's been catching balls from Ryan for a few years. The trust is there. He's on pace to have his best season this year.

Overtime Saints win in ATL, 2011. Julio leaves game early.


Douglas 8/113
Roddy 4/62
Julio 2/9
Tony 6/71
