BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Damien Harris sustained a thigh issue in Week 12 which has now sidelined him for the Patriots’ last four matchups. The fourth-year back has yet to resurface since that injury transpired and the timing of his return remains uncertain.
While his current status does not present the appeal that exists with several other backs who are contained among this week’s recommendations, the fourth-year back does have a navigable path toward a favorable workload if he re-emerges for New England’s Week 17 matchup with Miami.
Harris has averaged 9.3 attempts per game during the season while operating in a rotation with Rhamondre Stevenson. It is reasonable to believe that he would regain a similar workload upon his return.
Stevenson’s disappointing performance during New England’s Week 16 matchup with Cincinnati could also have enhanced the likelihood that Harris will collect rushing attempts if he is active. Stevenson was limited to 30 rushing yards on 13 carries (2.3 yards per attempt) before losing a critical fumble near the conclusion of the contest.
Anyone who is positioned to stash Harris could be presented with an additional flex option if he is active on Sunday.
