Harris has not yet received a suspension or other punishment from the NFL following his July 16 arrest for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
While such issues commonly lead to a two-game suspension, Harris presumably won't receive any punishment until after the legal process has played out, which doesn't appear to be happening anytime soon. In the meantime, Harris is slated for a significant role at receiver while Michael Thomas (ankle) misses at least the first six weeks of the season on the PUP list. Boding well for his fantasy stock is the fact that true pocket passer Jameis Winston won the Saints' starting quarterback job over the dual-threat Taysom Hill, though Harris will still have to compete for targets with Tre'Quan Smith (undisclosed), Marquez Callaway, Ty Montgomery and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.
