Harry Douglas misses practice Wenesday, fantasy status in question
The Falcons’ veteran receiver appears to have had a setback relating to his injury. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: Douglas was expected to practice this week, so it's a bit troublesome that he's not able to, especially considering he sat out last week's game. When he is in the lineup, Douglas is the team's third option in the passing game behind Julio Jones and Roddy White.
With Devin Hester also playing well, it might be hard for Douglas to be a consistent contributor when he does make his return. That said, the Falcons are definitely a pass-first team with little going on in the running game to change that, so Douglas should be able to chip in a solid fantasy day every now and then.
Fantasy owners should hang on to Douglas for now, although his fantasy upside is limited due to the plethora of offensive threats the Falcons have.
