Humphrey is a candidate for early season snaps in the absence of Michael Thomas (ankle), Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.
The Saints have a number of candidates to see expanded roles in Thomas' absence, starting with Tre'Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway, Deonte Harris and Kawaan Baker. However, at 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, Humphrey certainly is a bigger asset as a blocker in the run game than many of them. However, even if Humphrey does find a way to work himself onto the field during the regular season, his upside as a fantasy contributor is low considering his 4.75-second 40 time from the 2019 NFL Combine was slowest among all wide receivers from that year's draft class.
