Out with White. That was the easy part. But then there was a second question for a number of fantasy players to consider: did this mean it was time to put Harry Douglas in the lineup?
One figures that Douglas is going to get some good looks on this night playing opposite Julio Jones. Furthermore, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ defense has not exactly been stout against the pass this season. On the other hand, going with a relatively unproven guy like Douglas can be a tough call, especially when the game is on a Thursday night.
Those who played Douglas, rejoice. Those who toiled over the decision and then didn’t, time to start kicking yourself.
Douglas hauled in an early touchdown from Matt Ryan after an effortless drive down the field to make it 7-0 Falcons.
If this opening drive is any indication, it’s going to be a long night for the Tampa Bay defense.
