Demetrius Harris Fantasy Stats

The Chicago Bears agreed to terms on a one-year deal with tight end Demetrius Harris on Wednesday, according to sources. Harris was cut by the Browns recently and spent time with head coach Matt Nagy when they were both with the Chiefs. The 28-year-old caught just 15 passes for 149 yards and three touchdowns in 2019 despite David Njoku missing most of the year with an injury in Cleveland. Chicago was looking to upgrade their tight end room after both Trey Burton and Adam Shaheen missed large chunks of last season due to injuries. Harris will have an opportunity with his new team, but it's still unlikely he has a huge pass-catching role is Burton and Shaheen are on the field.

The Cleveland Browns released tight end Demetrius Harris, cornerback T.J. Carrie, offensive guard Eric Kush and linebacker Adarius Taylor on Monday. Harris played in 15 games (six starts) in 2019 and caught 15 passes for 149 yards and three touchdowns. Mostly known for his blocking prowess, Harris couldn't even take advantage when David Njoku was lost for most of the year due to an injury. The 28-year-old should land on his feet, but we wouldn't expect him to enter the 2020 season with much fantasy appeal, even as a backup tight end.

Cleveland Browns tight end Demetrius Harris caught one of three targets for a one-yard touchdown in a 31-15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. The veteran tight end was not a major part of the passing attack but he made his lone catch count as he hauled in a one-yard score from Baker Mayfield in the first quarter. Harris has been getting some extra work with David Njoku having spent the past two weeks on the sideline as a healthy scratch. That being said, Harris can't be counted on in Week 17 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cleveland Browns tight end Demetrius Harris settles in as a shaky fantasy option in Week 11. Harris will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers at home on Thursday night. The Steelers have been solid against the pass this season, although they have been susceptible to enemy tight ends. On the season, Pittsburgh is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Harris has been mostly an afterthought in the passing attack, as he will operate as the No. 5 option at best on Thursday night. Harris has yet to catch more than three balls in a game this season and should be treated as a touchdown-dependant TE2 for Week 11.

Cleveland Browns tight end Demetrius Harris is likely to see an uptick in snaps with fellow tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (knee) looking doubtful for Week 10. Harris has been a presence in the red zone for the Browns this season but his overall role isn't robust enough to trust in fantasy leagues. Fantasy owners should only use Harris if they are extremely desperate at the position this weekend.

Cleveland Browns tight end Demetrius Harris caught three of four targets for 25 yards in a 24-19 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 9. Harris continues to be a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option, with the three-catch game setting a season high for the athletic tight end. He could see a larger role in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills as fellow tight end Ricky Seals-Jones left with a knee injury during the second quarter and did not return. Either way, Harris is not a very inspiring fantasy option outside of extremely deep leagues.

Cleveland Browns tight end Demetrius Harris caught 2-of-3 targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in a 27-13 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Harris was the recipient of Baker Mayfield's lone touchdown pass, a 21-yard dime in the second quarter. Harris caught the ball just shy of the end zone and was able to twist his way over the goal line for the score. Since Week 4, Harris and Ricky Seals-Jones have alternated productive weeks, meaning it would be Harris' turn to take a backseat in the passing attack in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. That being said, neither Harris nor Seals-Jones is a particularly strong option in 12-man fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns tight end Demetrius Harris was not targeted in a 32-28 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6. The big tight end did contribute by catching a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter. Harris has been up-and-down since David Njoku broke his wrist in Week 2 but he has been outproduced over the past three weeks by fellow tight end Ricky Seals-Jones, who has two touchdowns over that span. Harris simply isn't a big enough part of the Cleveland passing attack to trust in fantasy for now. He will take on the New England Patriots in Week 8 after his bye this weekend.

Cleveland Browns tight end Demetrius Harris will continue to operate as the team's lead tight end while David Njoku heals from a broken wrist. Harris will suit up against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on the road in Week 4. Baltimore has been tough on enemy tight ends this season, allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Harris does have some touchdown upside as he was targeted twice in the end zone in his team's Week 3 loss. He came down with one of those targets for a two-yard touchdown in the contest. Harris should continue to be utilized in the red zone but he is likely to disappoint in fantasy if he doesn't score. Treat him as a desperation TE3 for Week 4.

Cleveland Browns tight end Demetrius Harris caught a two-yard touchdown in a 20-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3. It was his only catch in a game where he drew just two targets. Harris saw an increased role with David Njoku on injured reserve with a broken wrist but was not a major part of the game plan. His only other target came in the end zone in the fourth quarter on what looked like a catchable ball but Harris was unable to pull down the high pass. He will be a low-end TE2 for Week 4's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
