Damien Harris Fantasy

New England Patriots rookie running back Damien Harris and rookie wide receiver Jakobi Meyers are both healthy scratches for Week 2 against the Dolphins. Both players have exciting long-term appeal for those in dynasty leagues, but the Patriots are just too stacked at running back and receiver now for either of them to make an impact. If anything were to happen to Sony Michel this year, Harris could be in line for a big role and would be an immediate addition off the waiver wire in redraft leagues. With the Antonio Brown signing last week, Meyers gets pushed out of the rotation among Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon and Phillip Dorsett.

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris will make his NFL debut against the Steelers on Sunday night. Harris has played some solid football in his first training camp but has been held back, at times, with a sore wrist. Harris should certainly see a handful of snaps in Week 1 but his playing time early on could be sporadic due to his place on the depth chart. The Patriots will open the season with Sony Michel, Rex Burkhead and James White ahead of Harris, making the rookie no more than a stash play in dynasty leagues.

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday after missing two practices with an undisclosed injury suffered in Saturday's preseason game. Harris combined for 103 yards from scrimmage on 14 touches in the second preseason game and flashed power, vision and soft hands. Harris doesn't have a clear path to much playing time this season, but he has some long-term appeal in dynasty formats.
