Damon Harrison Fantasy Stats

The Green Bay Packers claimed defensive lineman Damon "Snacks" Harrison off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday. Harrison requested his release late last week and was granted it on Tuesday, and the run-stuffing defensive tackle didn't go without a team for long. The 32-year-old was a first-team All-Pro with the Giants in 2016 and has a reputation for shutting down opposing run games, but he had just nine tackles and a forced fumble in a situational role in six games for the Seahawks. Harrison is no longer in his prime and probably won't play an every-down role with Green Bay heading into the postseason, but he'll provide veteran leadership and a big body in the trenches as the Packers seek to return to the Super Bowl.

Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Damon Harrison asked for his release after learning that he'd be inactive in Week 16 against the division-rival Rams, and the team plans to grant his wish next week, according to sources. The Seahawks have enjoyed their time with Harrison and hopes he has a change of heart, but it seems as though he has his mind made up. Harrison would go on waivers and would be eligible to be claimed by another team for interior defensive line help. Snacks has played in only six games with the team after spending the 2019 season in Detroit, and he has only nine combined tackles and a forced fumble in a rotational role.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that there is a "good chance" that defensive tackle Damon Harrison makes his debut with the team in Week 10 against the division-rival Rams. Harrison has spent the last month getting into shape after signing with Seattle. The man they call Snacks signed to the team's practice squad on Oct. 7 after considering retirement. The 31-year-old run-stopper should help Seattle's defensive line in their quest to slow down the run, and he's been durable in his career, playing in 112 games in nine years while totaling 485 tackles. Harrison isn't an IDP asset at this stage of his career, but he should help a Seattle defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game (93.6), at least in a rotational role. Seattle's defense has been much more susceptible through the air, however, and they're not the most attractive unit for fantasy owners this Sunday against a Rams team coming off their bye.

Veteran defensive tackle Damon "Snacks" Harrison is signing with the Seattle Seahawks practice squad on Wednesday, according to a source. Harrison can plug holes up with the best of them in the middle of the defensive line. He won't be in play in IDP leagues if he winds up playing significant snaps for Seattle, as he has just 11 sacks in nine years in the NFL. In 15 games for the Lions in 2019, Harrison had 49 combined tackles (29 solo), two QB hits, three passes defensed and two sacks. Seattle's defense finally was able to hold a team (the Dolphins) under 30 points this year in Week 4. They're a borderline streaming defense in Week 5 against the Vikings.

The Seattle Seahawks Defense is eyeing reinforcements, with linebacker Mychal Kendricks set for a visit Tuesday, in addition to the one that was previously reported for defensive tackle Damon Harrison. Kendricks, who sustained an ACL tear at the conclusion of 2019, has been cleared to return to action. Having started 14 games for Seattle last year and made a combined 71 tackles, he may be a seamless fit for the organization. Harrison, an All-Pro selection back in 16, started 15 games last season for Detroit. He has additional visits lined up, so the Seahawks appear to have competition in Harrisons market. Check back for updates on if either gets officially brought aboard to help a defensive unit that has scuffled through the first four weeks.

The Detroit Lions plan to release defensive tackle Damon Harrison in the coming days, according to a source. The move will free up around $6.7 million in salary cap space but will leave the team with a hole on their defensive line up the middle. Even though Snacks Harrison had a down year in 2019 due to knee and groin injuries, he was their best defensive player in the second half of 2018 after he was acquired from the Giants. Harrison finished with 49 tackles last year, his lowest total since his rookie year in 2012, and he only had two sacks in 15 games. He will consider retirement this offseason while seeing what materializes in free agency. In his prime, Harrison was one of the best run-stuffing nose tackles in the game.

The Detroit Lions agreed to a one-year, $11 million extension with defensive tackle Damon Harrison on Wednesday. Snacks Harrison won't do much in the sack column -- he has just nine total sacks in his six years in the league -- but he's most known for being an elite run clogger up the middle with his size (6-foot-3, 353 pounds). The Lions run defense was much improved after they acquired Harrison from the Giants at midseason last year.

The Detroit Lions took defensive tackle Damon Harrison off the active/Non-Football Injury list on Thursday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. There was never any doubt that Harrison would come off the NFI list before the regular season. The 30-year-old nicknamed Snacks made a big difference for Detroit's defense in the 10 games he played after coming over from the Giants. Harrison is a big upgrade in the run defense, but he doesn't really make a big impact in IDP leagues, as he's accumulated just nine sacks in his six seasons in the NFL.

Detroit Lions defensive end Damon Harrison will not show up to mandatory minicamp this week, according to a source. Harrison also missed voluntary organized team activities as he seeks a new deal. He'll be fined for each day he doesn't show up to mandatory minicamp. The 30-year-old improved the Lions rush defense last year after he was traded from the Giants. He accumulated 50 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in his 10 games in Detroit. Harrison is a much more effective real-life force in the middle than he is a fantasy one in IDP leagues.

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Damon Harrison didn't show up to the start of the team's voluntary conditioning program this week. Harrison hired a new agent this year and has expressed interest in a contract extension this offseason. He has two years left on his deal. The 30-year-old isn't much of an IDP commodity with just nine sacks in his career, but he's a real-life difference-maker as a run-stuffer for a Detroit team that needs all the help it can get on the defensive line.
