4. Top fantasy football pickups for Week 10 – New Orleans Saints WR Deonte Harris

Sometimes quarterback changes can affect the wide receiver hierarchy, which makes sense since each signal-caller has different chemistry with his pass-catchers. Trevor Siemian appears to be the man of the moment for the Saints with Jameis Winston on the shelf with a season-ending knee injury, making the emergence of Deonte Harris against Atlanta today noteworthy.

An undrafted free agent signee in 2019, Harris was lightly used last season but has formed a good connection with Siemian over the past two tames. Harris was targeted eight times in the Saints’ loss to the Falcons in Week 9, securing six receptions for 52 yards in the process.

The eight targets that Harris received are a nice follow-up to the seven targets he received last week when Siemian took over for Winston. With the news that Michael Thomas isn’t coming back this season, those targets make Harris an appealing waiver wire target this week.

Harris is rostered in just 15 percent of Yahoo leagues but that percentage should rise significantly after this performance. With a potential shootout against Tennessee looming in Week 10 Harris is a strong flex consideration next week and beyond.
