Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Harry Douglas drew the start last week and filled in admirably as he's so accustomed to doing. Taking the place of the injured Julio Jones, Douglas finished with 10 receptions for 131 yards. This was the second time in three weeks that he topped the 100-yard receiving mark.
Fantasy start/sit advice, Week 16: Harry Douglas
The Falcons receiver is coming off a big game. Is he worth the start in the fantasy finals?

The issue with Douglas is that he's the team's third receiver and he rarely produces in that role. He needs Jones or Roddy White to be sidelined in order to make a significant fantasy impact. Both White and Jones are listed as questionable this week -- White is expected to play while Jones will likely be a game-time decision.
Fantasy Impact: Jones will have a good matchup in the New Orleans Saints. Their secondary allows the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Douglas' opportunity will come down to Jones' availability. Jones is expected to do a pre-game at which point the decision will be made. Owners need to monitor the situation right up to kickoff. Douglas will be a WR2 if Jones doesn't play but isn't worth the start if Jones is active.
