Damien Harris Fantasy

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris had nine carries for 30 yards during Saturday's Wild Card loss to the Bills. He also added a catch for seven yards. Buffalo dominated this one right out of the gate, so considering Harris has been dealing with a hamstring ailment over the recent weeks, it opened the door for Rhamondre Stevenson to get some work. Overall, the 24-year-old had a fantastic year, finishing just shy of the 1,000-yard mark while accumulating 15 rushing touchdowns, with Jonathan Taylor the only player to have more. It's safe to assume Harris will have some uneventful outings next season. However, he exceeded expectations and should be taken seriously in fantasy drafts heading into the 2022-23 campaign.

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) is officially active for Saturday night's wild-card game against the Buffalo Bills. Harris was limited in practice all week and was never really in danger of missing this game. He has been New England's lead back late in the season and went for over 100 rushing yards in both games against the Bills this year. However, it'll be tough to do that for a third straight game, and rookie Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden remain threats to take touches away from Harris as New England tries to pull the upset on the road. Harris is the best fantasy bet of New England's backs and will be a touchdown-dependent second DFS RB on wild-card weekend.

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card game against the Buffalo Bills. Harris continues to be questionable on the final injury report, but he should suit up in the third matchup with Buffalo this weekend. In his two games against the Bills this year, Harris has found plenty of success, carrying 28 times for 214 yards and four touchdowns. He's also scored eight rushing TDs in his last five games, which is why Harris is the fourth-most expensive RB on DraftKings ($6,400) this weekend. Harris should operate as the Pats primary back, but the presence of rookie Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden also make him somewhat risky at that price tag against a tough Bills defense.
