NE RB Damien Harris - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at New York Jets

Damien Harris saw just nine snaps last week against the Bears and just four touches. This is Rhamondre Stevenson's backfield now. Harris can be kept on the bench this week against a tough Jets defense.

NE RB Damien Harris - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Detroit Lions

Damien Harris had his best rushing day last week against the Packers, going for 86 yards and a touchdown, his third straight game with a touchdown. It's still a straight split between Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson, but there could be enough work to make both fantasy-relevant this week, especially if Bailey Zappe starts at quarterback. Detroit ranks dead last in Rush DVOA. We actually have Harris just outside our top 12 in half-PPR this week. It should be another week with close to 20 touches for Harris.

NE RB Damien Harris - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Green Bay Packers

Damien Harris has scored a touchdown in two straight games, but also has two games with less than 50 rushing yards. He's also seen Rhamondre Stevenson continue to be even, if not overtake Harris in the run game and Stevenson is the better pass-catching back, too. That said, Harris is still seeing about 10-15 carries a game and is in a true committee with Stevenson. He's a low-end flex option against one of the worst rush defenses by DVOA measures in Green Bay.

NE RB Damien Harris - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Baltimore Ravens

So far, Damien Harris has had the slight inside track in the Patriots backfield. He had 15 carries to 9 for Rhamondre Stevenson. Harris also scored a touchdown against the Steelers and added a couple more catches. This week, the Patriots get the Ravens, who rank in the top half of rushing DVOA. Harris will continue to split work with Stevenson, limiting his potential, but still worth a look at the flex position.

NE RB Damien Harris - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Damien Harris "led" the Patriots backfield in Week 1 against the Dolphins, but that's not saying much. Harris saw 22 snaps, Ty Montgomery played 21, Rhamondre Stevenson saw 14. In terms of rushing attempts, Harris had nine, Stevenson has eight. That sort of split will almost certainly continue and it's a tough uphill climb this week as the Patriots face the strong Steelers defense and the Patriots' offensive line has had issues. Harris should be considered a flex option this week. He gets the edge over Stevenson as he is still the favorite for goal-line work.

NE RB Damien Harris - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Miami Dolphins

Rhamondre Stevenson may be the up-and-coming back in New England, but the Patriots aren't just going to toss Damien Harris aside. Remember, Harris had five games with over 100 rushing yards last season. One of those games was Week 1 against the Dolphins. New England will split the work for now between Harris and Stevenson and there should be enough to make both happy and both potential RB2s this week.

NE RB Damien Harris - 2022 Fantasy Football Outlook

2022 Fantasy Upside
Damien Harris broke out in 2021, posting five games with at least 100 yards, going over 900 yards rushing on just 202 carries and scoring 15 touchdowns. Four of those 100-yard games came with less than 20 carries. Harris can break a big one at any time, just ask the Buffalo Bills. Per our own John Paulsen, Harris was 21st in broken tackles per attempt, 10th in yards after contact per attempt and had a top-five PFF rushing grade.

2022 Fantasy Downside
15 rushing touchdowns is always tough to repeat. Plus, Rhamondre Stevenson improved as the season wore on and is ready to eat more into Harris’ workload, if not take over. Harris also isn’t really involved in the passing game. He had just 18 catches for 132 yards on 21 targets, so he won’t add much PPR value.

2022 Bottom Line
Harris will still get early-down work with the way the Patriots love to mix their running backs up. But that’s the key, the Patriots will be a true committee in the backfield between Harris and Stevenson, limiting Harris to an RB2 at best, more likely a flex.
