Demetrius Harris TE, KC (1 Viewer)

Starting a theme of KC offensive player threads. Conley is out for the season and Kelce is in the concussion protocol. This will obviously be null and void if Kelce goes but I think people should be handcuffing this guy to Kelce for this week at least. I know it’s been discussed about his preseason performances and athletic ability (former collegiate basketball player signed as a UFA):

Kelce has averaged 7.4 targets per game (lowered by a 1 target game). Perhaps with all the injuries and Pitt’s defense being susceptible to the run it all gets filtered through Hunt but ‘tis the season for byes and injuries. There are worse talents I’ve seen rostered at TE that were wings and prayers through the first 5 weeks already.

Would be worth adding for his red zone ability alone. Guy's a very talented player - would start for a lot of teams IMO. Much more appealing than Wilson.

Interesting. Putting him on the radar, but if Kelce is out, I think many of those targets go Hill’s way rather than Harris.

Trend has been that where Kelce is quiet, Hill has a big game and vice versa. If Kelce is out, that means that much more for Hill, a guy whose speed and quickness often defies extra secondary attention.

Agree but I think that's a function of Smith taking what the D gives his.  If they are taking Hill away he just won't force it to him, he'll go elsewhere.  And with no Kelce or Conley I think Hill gets a ton more attention.  I look for those targets to go to West, Wilson, and Harris.  I'm a Kelce owner in one league but snagged Harris in three leagues since I have TE issues all over the place.
