Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 6 Rankings
|
44.
Damien Harris
RB - (vs . DAL)
Harris was inches away last week from having two touchdowns. Instead, the play was reversed and Harris went from having six additional points to losing two due to a fumble right at the goal-line. Thankfully, he was able to come through for fantasy purposes and find the end zone in a plus matchup before leaving with an injury, which he is still reportedly dealing with this week. We'll need to monitor the practice reports this week for Harris, but if he does play, he's worth starting as a low-end RB2.

62.
Jakobi Meyers
WR - (vs . DAL)
Meyers continues to be a key part of this offense in New England, but it's not exactly translating to much from a fantasy perspective. Meyers is bringing a safe floor each week, but he has yet to find the end zone now on 116 career receptions. With Jones playing QB, there's very little upside with Meyers from a fantasy perspective and he's merely just a high-end FLEX play in Full PPR formats at this point.

Hunter Henry
TE - (vs . DAL)
Henry has started to steadily see his target share increase in this offense as the season has progressed and he's becoming a viable fantasy asset because of it. He's on the field for the majority of the snaps and he's being sent out as a receiver 27 routes per game on average, which is leading to plenty of opportunity. While he took advantage of a plus matchup last week in Houston, there's no reason at this point that we shouldn't view Henry as a mid-range TE2 every single week. Unless we see Smith suddenly become heavily involved in this offense, Henry should be a safe option moving forward.

Jonnu Smith
TE - (vs . DAL)
Here's the good news, folks. Smith was on the field for 62% of the snaps in week five! The bad news is that he ran just six receiving routes. Yes, you read that correctly. With four offensive line starters out last week against Houston, Smith was asked to stay in and block a heavy amount, which killed his fantasy output. While it's baffling why the Patriots paid Smith $50 million to not be used as a receiving threat in this offense, we have to face the reality of the situation and recognize that it's simply unlikely to change. Smith is now droppable in redraft leagues if there's a better option available.
