Maurice Harris Fantasy Stats

The New England Patriots released wide receiver Maurice Harris (leg) from Injured Reserve on Tuesday with an injury settlement. Harris was impressing the coaching staff early in camp, but his injury ended up costing him a roster spot. He caught a career-high 28 passes for 304 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games with Washington in 2018. Despite opportunity in New England's receiving room, there are a couple rookies (N'Keal Harry, Jakobi Meyers) who give the team more upside. Demaryius Thomas is also trying to successfully return from an Achilles injury.

New England Patriots wide receiver Maurice Harris is looking at missing extended time with a lower leg injury. Harris suffered the injury during Wednesday's practice and, while a time table is unknown, is expected to miss significant time. The Patriots wide receiving group had some open spots available heading into camp but looks like Harris will be unable to compete in the near future.

New England Patriots wide receiver Maurice Harris registered three receptions for 27 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's preseason road victory against the Detroit Lions. Harris turned some heads during minicamp, but he has been overshadowed during training camp by the emergence of Jakobi Meyers. With Julian Edelman and Demaryius Thomas nursing injuries, Harris and Meyers have had golden opportunities, and they are taking advantage. Harris might not necessarily be a fantasy option out of the gate, but he might make the 53-man roster and is a name to file away in case injuries rear their ugly heads during the regular season.

New England Patriots wide receivers Braxton Berrios and Maurice Harris stood out in minicamp practice on Tuesday. Berrios spent his entire rookie year on Injured Reserve but showed quickness on his routes over the middle and also impressive long speed. He was working on punt returns as well. Harris is a big slot receiver at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds and could be a sleeper this summer. The Patriots are thin at receiver this year with Chris Hogan moving on in free agency and tight end Rob Gronkowski retiring, so there's a chance that Berrios and/or Harris could enter the picture and make some noise.

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) and wide receiver Maurice Harris (concussion) have been ruled out for Week 16 against the Titans on Saturday after initially being questionable. It further weakens an already extremely thin offense that is using Josh Johnson as the starting quarterback. With both Davis and Jordan Reed (toe) out, Jeremy Sprinkle will be the starter. He scored a touchdown last week but will be a desperation streamer. Jamison Crowder is the team's top wideout, but Jehu Chesson, Michael Floyd and rookie Darvin Kidsy may be asked to step up with Josh Doctson questionable. Stay far away from this situation if you can.

Washington Redskins wide receiver Maurice Harris surprisingly leads all his teammates at the position in receptions and receiving yards despite not catching a single pass until Week 5. That is more an indictment against said teammates than it is a reason to celebrate Harris, but somebody has to catch the ball occasionally for the Redskins, and Harris is just one week removed from a relatively impressive two-game stretch. In Weeks 9 and 10, Harris hauled in 15 of 17 targets for 176 yards. Perhaps those numbers are an anomaly, but they are also the most recent example of reliability from the wideout position in Washington. New quarterback Colt McCoy may seek to develop a connection with Harris as a result.

Washington Redskins wide receiver Maurice Harris caught one pass on four targets for 13 yards in Sunday's loss to Houston. Before writing him off altogether, though, consider this: in the two games prior, Harris had 15 receptions for 176 yards. Washington's receiving corps has been so unimpressive that they didn't need any help becoming more of a collective unknown quantity, but Alex Smith's season-ending injury makes it even more difficult to know what to expect. With that in mind, however, a look back at recent performances might lead new starter Colt McCoy to target Harris over some of the other options. In any case, this whole group of wideouts is in "see how it plays out" mode for the moment.

Washington Redskins wide receiver Maurice Harris caught all five of his targets in Sunday's victory over Tampa Bay, converting those into a 52-yard showing. For those keeping an eye on Harris to see if he followed up on his 10-catch, 124-yard outing from a week ago, it's probably safe to consider Sunday's performance the more likely result on a weekly basis. This would make Harris an afterthought on most NFL teams, but in Washington's low-volume passing offense, it actually appears he is establishing himself as a reliable option after leading the team in receiving yards in back-to-back weeks. He remains worth monitoring in fantasy, with the caveat that no pass-catcher in this offense deserves legitimate lineup consideration at the moment.

Washington Redskins wide receiver Maurice Harris took advantage of his involvement in the desperation passing attack during last week's loss to the Falcons. He caught 10 passes and--surprisingly enough--became the first Redskins player to surpass 100 receiving yards in a game this season. Week 10 presents him with the opportunity for another first: to be the first Redskins receiver to follow up one good performance with another. Inconsistency (and injury) has plagued the entire Washington wideout corps thus far, and Harris can use this week's contest with a bad Buccaneers defense to separate himself as a go-to option for Alex Smith. The Bucs have allowed at least one touchdown in every game this season to opposing wideouts. If Harris can continue that trend, he may start to climb into the fantasy conversation after two consecutive solid outings.

Washington Redskins wide receiver Maurice Harris hauled in 10 of 12 targets for 124 yards against Atlanta on Sunday. This could be considered a strange development considering his place on the depth chart, but the Redskins have needed somebody in the receiving game to step up for some time now, and Harris rose to the occasion on Sunday. Before fantasy owners go breaking the FAAB bank to pick him up for Week 10, consider the season-long ineffectiveness of Washington's passing game. Harris has momentarily placed himself on the fantasy radar, but on a team that prefers the running game, Sunday's performance is probably an anomaly and not something to expect going forward.
