Charles Harris Fantasy

The Atlanta Falcons declined the $10.051 million fifth-year option on defensive end Charles Harris on Monday, according to a source. The Falcons acquired Harris from the Miami Dolphins last Friday in exchange for a 2021 seventh-round draft pick. The 22nd overall pick in 2017 had just 3.5 sacks in 1,196 snaps for Miami, so he will have to prove himself in Atlanta this year in order to remain with the team beyond the 2020 season. The Falcons are hoping Harris can help a pass rush that finished with only 28 sacks in the 2019 campaign. They've gotten pressure on a league-worst 22 percent of dropbacks in the last two years. Harris, 25, will make $1.943 million in the final year of his rookie deal.

The Atlanta Falcons struck a trade with the Miami Dolphins and received defensive end Charles Harris for a seventh-round pick, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. It was no surprise the Falcons were looking to upgrade their defense this offseason after finishing last season allowing 355.8 yards per game. Therefore, the team invested in a defensive tackle, safety, linebacker, and cornerback during the draft. Harris was a first-round pick in 2017 and looks to jumpstart his career in Atlanta as he didn't have a great tenure in Miami. He brings 61 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, and one recovered fumble to the Falcons. Still only 25-years-old, the DE could bring great value to the Falcons Defense, but it depends on how big of a role he receives.

Miami Dolphins defensive end Charles Harris (calf) is "week-to-week" after injuring himself in practice last Friday, according to head coach Adam Gase. Miami's defensive line has real concerns with Cameron Wake also missing the last two games after having surgery. They'll need Wake back if they want to have a consistent pass rush, starting in Week 7 against the Lions.
