Getting another shot in key role Harris and Tre'Quan Smith are the only healthy wide receivers on the Saints' active roster, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact The Saints had Smith, Harris and Marquez Callaway (ankle) as their lead trio last week, but Callaway is now ruled out alongside Michael Thomas (hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19). The 5-foot-6 Harris may still be largely limited to slot work, but he had his best game of the season last week (4-46-1 receiving line) and could see a handful or so of targets again. The Saints also will need to call up a couple WRs from the practice squad, likely Austin Carr and Juwan Johnson again.

Impact Harris was set for more opportunity than usual with both Michael Thomas (hamstring/ankle) and Emmanuel Sanders (illness) out of action, and he delivered a four-yard scoring grab just before halftime. The second-year speedster set a season high in both receptions and receiving yards, and with Thomas, Sanders and Marquez Calloway (leg) all in danger of missing a Week 8 battle against the Bears, Harris could be in for an expanded role once again.

Full speed ahead Harris (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Harris missed the Week 5 win over the Chargers, but he utilized the bye week to get back to full health. If Michael Thomas (ankle/hamstring) returns to the lineup this Sunday against the Panthers, Harris likely won't have much of a role on offense. However, he's set to be the Saints' main returner of both kicks and punts Sunday. The 22-year-old has averaged 26 yards per kick return and 15.1 yards per punt return this season.

Unavailable Week 5 Harris (hamstring) was ruled out for Monday's game against the Chargers.
Impact Harris was unable to practice this week due to the hamstring issue and won't be suiting up Monday. Taysom Hill could step in on kick returns and Alvin Kamara on punt returns for the Saints, though Marquez Callaway could also take over return duties.

Misses second straight practice Harris (hamstring) didn't participate in Friday's practice, Rod Walker of The New Orleans Advocate reports.
Impact With a second straight missed practice, Harris is trending in the wrong direction ahead of Monday's matchup against the Chargers. He's handled a decent workload while Michael Thomas (ankle) has been out of the lineup, recording 38 yards on six receptions and rushing three times for 21 yards. Harris makes most of his impact on special teams as a returner, but Alvin Kamara will likely handle those duties if Harris is forced to sit out.

Catches one pass in victory Harris brought in one of two targets for 10 yards and rushed twice for 10 yards in the Saints' 35-29 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Impact It was another quiet day for Harris, who has failed to see much boost in value with Michael Thomas (ankle) out of action. In three games with Thomas on the sidelines, Harris has caught just six passes for 38 yards. Targets will be even more difficult to come by in Week 5 when Thomas is likely to return.

Impact The All-Pro returner showed a glimmer of fantasy relevance in Week 2 against the Raiders, gaining 34 scrimmage yards on a combined four offensive touches as he logged the second start of his career. Week 3 marked a step back for his offensive role, as Tre'Quan Smith collected six-plus targets for a second consecutive game. If Michael Thomas (ankle) is able to return in Week 4 against Detroit, it would diminish Harris' offensive role further in a matchup against the NFL's 13th-ranked pass defense.

Hauls in three receptions Harris brought in three of five targets for 23 yards and added an 11-yard carry in the Saints' 34-24 loss to the Raiders on Monday.
Impact With Michael Thomas out of action, Harris saw an increase in targets and actually finished ahead of Emmanuel Sanders in looks from Drew Brees. It's clear that Alvin Kamara will be Brees' first read on the majority of passing plays, but Harris has some appeal in deeper leagues for as long as Thomas is out.

Goes for 17 yards in victory Harris brought in his only reception for 17 yards and added a nine-yard rush in Sunday's 34-23 win over the Saints.
Impact Harris surprisingly tied with Michael Thomas in yards and finished with more than Emmanuel Sanders in Sunday's loss. Harris saw only one target, however, and he won't often find himself among the team leaders in receiving yards. He also returned four punts for 59 yards and will likely do most of his damage on special teams this season.
