Reasons WR Tre Harris Could Be a Bust
Meng Song: Harris ended his brief holdout, but there's not much upside even if he's the No. 2 on a run-heavy Greg Roman offense.
Phil Alexander: Harris missed rookie camp and OTAs, and broke out late at Ole Miss, where he feasted on hitches and slants. With McConkey and Johnston ahead of him, he's stuck running wind sprints.
b An early summer holdout cooled some of the buzz, and a WR54 ADP is modest. Still, he likely needs Ladd McConkey to miss time or an extremely strong preseason to merit consideration as a starter in managed lineups.
Colton Dodgson: The run-and-gun nature of this offense suits his over-the-top, contested catch style. Still, he's competing with Quentin Johnston out wide in an offense that ranked 10th in run rate last season.
