N’Keal Harry, WR

N’Keal Harry saw his snaps and touches increased significantly in the team’s 34-13 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15.

The New England Patriots rookie had just two receptions for 15 yards, but a couple of jet sweep plays, a touchdown and an outstanding, diving catch that was called back due to penalty has sparked excitement about the potential of the first-round talent.

Most importantly, Tom Brady is starting to trust the 6-foot-4, 225-pound receiver which can only pay dividends for a struggling offense going forward.

In this game against the Buffalo Bills, the size of Harry will be a factor.  As good as a cornerback like Tre’Davious White is, Brady may look towards the Arizona State product to go up and get the ball in traffic.

Yes, that is a lot of trust for a player who only has a handful of games under his belt, but N’Keal Harry has to be a factor on offense, especially with Julian Edelman battling injury and the lack of production from the tight end position.

Prediction: N’Keal Harry scores two touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills.  One might be on a jet sweep.
