New England Patriots GameDay: 5 players who will ride high vs Cowboys
N’Keal Harry, WR
With Mohamed Sanu out and Phillip Dorsett questionable to play in Sunday’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, all eyes will be on New England Patriots 2019 first-round pick N’Keal Harry.
While the expectations are low given that he has missed half the season, you can’t ignore the size and catch radius he has. Trust or no trust, Tom Brady will look his way a bit more in this game.
Given their lack of weapons, the Cowboys should be focused on eliminating Julian Edelman. That will free up Harry to have a one-on-one matchup with a defender that he should outsize. That will lead Brady to throw it up for his big receiver to battle for balls.
The Patriots don’t need anything high from N’Keal Harry (although it will be nice), they just need him to be in the right spots and let his talent dictate the rest. He can also be a viable blocker if the team can get the running game going.
Either way, Harry will factor into this game in some capacity. He’ll end up with at least five catches in this one.
