Damien Harris Logs Nine Carries In Return
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) rushed nine times for 32 yards and caught all three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Miami Dolphins. Harris returned to action on Sunday after missing the last five games due to a thigh injury. The 25-year-old outpaced backfield teammate Rhamondre Stevenson by one carry, but Stevenson led the team with 42 rushing yards in Sunday's victory. The former third-round pick logged a season-high three catches and will continue to split touches with Stevenson. Harris is on the flex radar in a critical divisional matchup against the Buffalo Bills in the regular season finale next Sunday.

Damien Harris Off The Injury Report For Week 17
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) was removed from the injury report and will play in Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. He practiced this week and will return on Sunday after missing the last four games due to a thigh injury. The 25-year-old has rushed for 383 yards and three touchdowns on 84 attempts while catching 13 passes for 75 yards over nine games in 2022. Harris will have a limited role behind Rhamondre Stevenson in Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The former third-round pick is on the flex radar in deep-league formats, but fantasy managers should look for other options, with it being Harris' first game back since Week 12.

Damien Harris Misses Thursday's Practice For Personal Reasons
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) was absent from Thursday's practice due to a personal matter. The 25-year-old has missed the last four games due to a thigh injury. Harris logged a limited session on Wednesday, and his practice status on Friday will determine if the former third-round pick will return against Miami in Week 17. He has rushed for 383 yards on 84 attempts and three touchdowns while catching 13 passes for 75 yards over nine games in 2022. Harris will have a limited role if active and will be behind Stevenson against the Dolphins.

Rhamondre Stevenson, Damien Harris Limited Wednesday
New England Patriots running backs Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) and Damien Harris (thigh) were both listed as limited practice participants on Wednesday. Stevenson has played through an ankle injury in recent weeks, so as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks, he should serve as the team's primary RB in Week 17 against the Miami Dolphins. The 24-year-old was shut down by the Cincinnati Bengals last week, gaining 30 yards on just 13 carries while catching two passes for three yards. The week before he had 172 rushing yards and a score on 19 carries, so he'll be looking to bounce back against Miami and is a must-start in fantasy lineups if he's active. Harris hasn't played since Week 12, so if he returns this weekend, his role will most likely be limited behind Stevenson.

Damien Harris Inactive Again On Saturday
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) won't play on Saturday versus the visiting Bengals. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported earlier in the day that he'd be a game-time call. However, most fantasy managers weren't expecting Harris to be out there. With Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) officially active in Week 16, Harris wouldn't have been more than a flex option anyway. That said, Stevenson is fresh off an impressive 172-yard rushing performance in Week 15 against the Raiders, keeping him a must-start in all formats.

Patriots Plan To Sit Damien Harris Against Bengals
The New England Patriots plan to sit running back Damien Harris against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Harris could suit up and be available as an emergency back for Saturday's contest. The 25-year-old continues to nurse a thigh injury and hasn't played since Week 12. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly. Pierre Strong Jr. should have an expanded role, with Harris expected to sit. Strong rushed for 25 yards on four attempts and caught all three of his targets for 12 yards in last Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders. The 24-year-old is mainly a flex option in deep-league formats despite the expanded role versus Cincinnati.
Dec 24, 2022 • 4:08 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris A Game-Time Call On Saturday
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) is questionable for the Week 16 meeting against Cincinnati, with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport labeling him a game-time call. The 25-year-old hasn't played in a month because of an thigh injury. He did manage to log limited practice sessions throughout the week, so it appears he could be back soon even if he doesn't suit up on Saturday. Nevertheless, Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle), fresh off a season-high 172-yard rushing performance versus the Raiders, is expected to play. As a result, Harris' fantasy upside will be extremely low, making him a desperation flex option against a tough Bengals defense.
Dec 24, 2022 • 8:28 AM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Questionable For Week 16
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) should be considered questionable for the Week 16 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was limited in three practices this week after not playing in Week 15. His return would cut into Rhamondre Stevenson's playing time and usage. However, the Patriots use a run-heavy offense, so both players would still have fantasy value. It's worth noting that the Bengals have been doing a stellar job of defending the run lately. Harris should only be in the flex conversation, assuming he's active for this game.
Dec 22, 2022 • 11:45 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Rhamondre Stevenson, Damien Harris Both Limited
New England Patriots running backs Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) and Damien Harris (thigh) were both limited in practice on Wednesday for the second straight day this week. Stevenson was questionable to play in Week 15 after injuring his ankle in Week 14, but he ended up playing and handling 19 carries for a season-high 172 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on 66 percent of the offensive snaps. Unless he suffers a setback, the 24-year-old second-year back should play on Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals, where he'll be in play as an RB1, even if Harris returns for the first time since Week 12. Harris cannot be trusted as a starter in the fantasy playoffs as long as Stevenson is seeing most of the Patriots' backfield work. If Harris misses another game, rookie Pierre Strong Jr. will once again serve as a change of pace for Stevenson.
Dec 22, 2022 • 1:58 AM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Downgraded To Out For Week 15
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The 25-year-old was initially listed as questionable on Friday's injury report, but New England ultimately decided on Saturday morning to keep him out for Sunday's contest versus the Raiders. Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) is listed as questionable and would lead New England's backfield if active. Rookie Pierre Strong Jr. could also have an expanded role and should see additional touches with Harris sidelined. If active, Stevenson is a must-start against a Raiders defense that ranks 18th in rush DVOA, while Strong is considered a flex play but would be in the RB2 conversation if Stevenson is downgraded to out. Fantasy managers of Stevenson will need to monitor the injury reports on Sunday to ensure he is playing.
Dec 17, 2022 • 4:20 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Rhamondre Stevenson, Damien Harris Listed As Questionable
New England Patriots running backs Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) and Damien Harris (thigh) are both listed as questionable for the Week 15 game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Stevenson was limited in Friday's practice after missing the two previous days, giving him a glimmer of hope for Sunday's contest. Harris has missed the last two games but was limited all week and appears much closer to returning. The Patriots backfield is a very fluid situation right now, and its outlook will depend on whether Stevenson and Harris play. If both Stevenson and Harris are out or limited, rookies Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris will step into bigger workloads in a likely timeshare. Stevenson has become New England's clear lead back when healthy.
Dec 16, 2022 • 11:45 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Limited During Thursday's Practice
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) was limited during Thursday's practice session. This marks back-to-back days that Harris has been limited during practice. He should be considered on the optimistic side of questionable for the Week 15 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. It seems unlikely that fellow back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) is going to play this week. That being said, Harris would be a low-end RB2 if he's able to get on the field. Otherwise, Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris would split up the carries in the backfield. Between the two, Strong is the much better streaming option, but fantasy managers should check back on Friday for another update on Harris.
Dec 15, 2022 • 11:39 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Present At Wednesday's Practice
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) was present at practice on Wednesday. Harris was most likely limited at practice after missing the last two games due to a thigh injury. It would be good timing for him to return in Week 15 against the Las Vegas Raiders after Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) was injured on Monday night. Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday. Rookies Kevin Harris and Pierre Strong Jr. stepped up when Stevenson left on Monday and both scored the first touchdowns of their careers while working in a timeshare. If Harris returns this weekend and Stevenson is unable to play, head coach Bill Belichick could employ a frustrating three-headed committee backfield between both Harris' and Strong.
Dec 14, 2022 • 10:22 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Officially Inactive Monday
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) is officially inactive for the Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals. Harris will miss his second straight game after being listed as doubtful on Saturday's final injury report for Week 14. Rhamondre Stevenson has become New England's unquestioned lead back, even with Harris healthy, and he played 98 percent of the offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills. He finished the Week 13 loss with 10 carries for 54 yards while also catching six of eight targets for 24 yards. Stevenson should be used even more against Arizona with the team's leader receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) out. The second-year back should be in all fantasy lineups. Rookies Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris will fight for any remaining backfield touches.
Dec 13, 2022 • 12:09 AM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Is Doubtful For Week 14
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) is considered doubtful for the upcoming Week 14 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The 25-year-old continues nursing a thigh issue that will likely force him to miss his second straight game. He hasn't practiced all week, so there's a good chance that Harris sits out in Week 14. Rhamandre Stevenson has seen his usage skyrocket without Harris on the field. He'll be a must-start fantasy player with Harris likely sidelined this weekend.
Dec 10, 2022 • 11:30 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Jakobi Meyers, Damien Harris Miss Another Practice
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) and running back Damien Harris (thigh) both missed another practice on Friday. Neither player has practiced this week and both are in serious danger of missing the Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals. Meyers and Harris could return to practice on Saturday, but right now they are looking very iffy to play in Week 14. Meyers is the team's leading receiver, so an already slumping Patriots offense could be in trouble if he's out, which would lead to bigger roles for DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne. Harris is trending toward missing his second straight game. Rhamondre Stevenson handled the bulk of the backfield workload in Week 13, with rookies Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris serving as backups.
Dec 9, 2022 • 8:06 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Jakobi Meyers, Damien Harris Miss Practice
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (head) and running back Damien Harris (thigh) both missed practice on Thursday. It's bad news for a struggling Patriots offense. Meyers is about to be the team's leading receiver for the third straight season, but he left last week's game early with a head injury. Meyers said he was "fine" after the game, but it's his second missed practice this week and he should be considered questionable for Monday night against the Arizona Cardinals. Harris missed last week's game and could be in danger of missing his second straight. He's become the clear backup behind Rhamondre Stevenson and has just 383 rushing yards and three touchdowns in 2022.
Dec 8, 2022 • 7:01 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Ruled Out For Thursday Night
The New England Patriots have officially ruled out running back Damien Harris (thigh) and offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn (foot) for the Thursday night game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Harris injured his thigh in last Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Minnesota Vikings and was seen on crutches after the contest, so it's not a huge surprise he isn't ready to go a week later. Lead back Rhamondre Stevenson should see the lion's share of the backfield work, making him a must-start in fantasy, even in a difficult matchup. With Harris sidelined, rookies Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris will split change-of-pace backup work, while J.J. Taylor could also be promoted from the practice squad. It remains to be seen if Harris will be ready to return on Monday, Dec. 12, for the Week 14 game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Nov 30, 2022 • 8:47 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Missing From Practice Again Tuesday
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) was the lone player absent from practice on Tuesday. Harris has missed the last two days of practice and is not expected to suit up in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night after injuring his thigh in last Thursday night's loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving. He was seen on crutches after the Week 12 game, and fantasy managers should have him firmly on their benches this week. Rhamondre Stevenson, who has already become New England's lead back, is a must-start on Thursday, even in the tough matchup. With Harris likely sidelined, rookies Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris will be fighting for change-of-pace scraps behind Stevenson on Thursday Night Football.
Nov 29, 2022 • 5:35 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Not Expected To Play Thursday Night
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) is not expected to play on Thursday night in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills, according to a source. Harris is considered week-to-week going forward, so he's expected to miss some time after injuring his thigh in the Thanksgiving night loss to the Minnesota Vikings last Thursday. The 25-year-old was seen using crutches last week and did not take part in Monday's practice. Fantasy managers should keep him Harris on their benches this week. Rhamondre Stevenson, who has already taken over as the team's primary back, should have an even higher ceiling, albeit in a tough matchup, this Thursday against Buffalo. In nine games in 2022, Harris has 84 carries for 383 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and three touchdowns, adding 13 receptions for 75 yards.
Nov 29, 2022 • 12:34 AM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Misses Monday's Practice
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) was listed as a DNP at Monday's practice. Harris injured his thigh in last Thursday night's Thanksgiving loss to the Minnesota Vikings and was seen on crutches after the game. He still has a chance to get back on the practice field on Tuesday and Wednesday, but the 25-year-old is looking extremely iffy to play this Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. Harris has taken a back seat to Rhamondre Stevenson in the Pats' backfield and had just five carries for 16 yards against Minnesota last week before leaving the game. He hasn't scored since Week 4 against Green Bay. Stevenson will continue to be a must-start in fantasy, but he'll have even more upside this week if Harris is inactive.
Nov 28, 2022 • 11:58 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Seen On Crutches After Thursday's Game
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) was seen on crutches in the team's locker room following their Thursday night loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving. Harris saw only five carries for 16 yards against Minnesota and looked to be in a considerable amount of pain walking around on the sidelines. The 25-year-old should be viewed as extremely questionable to play next Thursday against the Buffalo Bills. Rhamondre Stevenson, who is already the team's lead back at this point, would have an even higher fantasy ceiling if Harris were to miss any time. Rookie Pierre Strong Jr., Kevin Harris and J.J. Taylor would also be in line for more work in New England's backfield behind Stevenson. Stay tuned for more updates on Harris' injury.
Nov 25, 2022 • 5:18 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Downgraded To Out Thursday
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He had initially been listed as questionable, but New England downgraded his status midway through the fourth quarter. The 25-year-old rushed just five times for 16 yards before exiting. Rhamondre Stevenson will continue to operate as the Patriots' workhorse while Pierre Strong Jr. fills a depth role.
Nov 25, 2022 • 4:10 AM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Questionable To Return Thursday
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (thigh) is questionable to return against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. The 25-year-old had rushed just five times for 16 yards before exiting. If Harris is unable to return, Rhamondre Stevenson would operate as the Patriots' workhorse while Pierre Strong Jr. fills a depth role.
Nov 25, 2022 • 3:29 AM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Removed From Injury Report
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (illness) was removed from the team's injury report. He was ruled out ahead of Week 9's contest before the team's bye against the Colts due to an illness. The 25-year-old has taken a backseat to Rhamondre Stevenson and was out-touched 23-to-13 in the previous game; both backs were healthy. He has 302 yards on 71 carries and three touchdowns while 11 passes for 47 yards over seven games in 2022. Harris has seen his role reduced in New England's rushing attack and is a boom-or-bust option against the Jets in Week 11.
Nov 17, 2022 • 2:44 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Not Expected To Play Versus Indy
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (illness) isn't expected to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Colts. Harris missed a few practices throughout the week before logging a limited session on Friday. With the Pats entering a bye, fantasy managers presumably won't see Harris on the field again until the Week 11 meeting against the Jets. Of course, Rhamondre Stevenson is capable of handling the workload. Without Harris in the lineup for the Week 6 matchup against the Browns, Stevenson amassed 76 yards and two touchdowns off 19 carries while catching four of his five targets. Fantasy managers should consider him a must-start in all formats.
Nov 6, 2022 • 5:16 AM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris, Pierre Strong Jr. Questionable
New England Patriots running backs Damien Harris (illness) and Pierre Strong Jr. (hamstring) are both listed as questionable to play in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts. Harris hasn't practiced all week due to his illness, so he's on the wrong side of questionable for this weekend. The 25-year-old has taken a back seat to Rhamondre Stevenson in the Patriots backfield in recent weeks, so his fantasy stock has already taken a hit. If Harris is inactive on Sunday, Stevenson will play a bell-cow role for the team, giving him even more fantasy upside as a must-start. If Strong is also unavailable for depth, rookie Kevin Harris would see a bigger role as Stevenson's backup.
Nov 4, 2022 • 8:30 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Not On Practice Field Thursday
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (illness) was not spotted on the practice field in the portion open to the media for the second straight day on Thursday. Harris will now need to get back on the practice field on Friday in order to have a shot at playing on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Rhamondre Stevenson has overtaken Harris as the lead back in recent weeks, so if Harris is unable to play in Week 9, Stevenson would be a must-start in fantasy. Rookies Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris would likely be backing him up if Harris was inactive. In the last three games, Harris has only received 18 carries for 56 yards (3.11 yards per carry) and no touchdowns, adding four catches on five targets for just 18 additional yards.
Nov 3, 2022 • 6:32 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Practices In Full Again On Friday
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday, so he appears in line to play on Monday night against the Bears. Harris didn't suit up in Week 6 versus the Browns, opening the door for Rhamondre Stevenson to log 19 carries for 76 yards and two touchdowns. Nonetheless, there's a chance both men will be involved in Week 7, so it's anyone's guess who will be more productive, which has been the theme for fantasy managers concerning the Pats' backfield throughout the year.
Oct 22, 2022 • 2:26 AM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Close To Returning
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) was back to a full practice on Thursday, which is an indication that he's close to returning. Harris missed the Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns with his hamstring injury, but it looks like he might return as soon as the Week 7 contest against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. It's bad news for fantasy managers of Rhamondre Stevenson, who had 19 carries for 76 yards and two touchdowns while catching four of five targets for 15 yards last Sunday on 86 percent of the offensive snaps. Stevenson should remain involved in a timeshare with Harris in New England's backfield if Harris returns this week, but it will certainly cap his fantasy upside.
Oct 20, 2022 • 8:38 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris To Sit Out In Week 6
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) won't suit up for the Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The 25-year-old was on the field pregame testing out his hamstring. Clearly, Harris is still dealing with some pain in his hamstring, so he'll miss this contest. Rhamondre Stevenson will be the lead back for the Patriots, which bodes well for his fantasy value. The expectation is that the Patriots are going to pound the ball on the ground with Bailey Zappe under center. Stevenson has RB1 upside for this game, so fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.
Oct 16, 2022 • 3:42 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Is Working Out Pregame
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Earlier reports have Harris trending on the wrong side of the questionable tag. However, Harris is out on the field working out pregame. Possibly, that's a sign that Harris is feeling better and is going to give it a shot on Sunday. Rhamondre Stevenson would be in line to start, assuming Harris is unable to play. Stevenson would be a possible RB1 for this game with Harris on the sideline. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update closer to game time.
Oct 16, 2022 • 2:53 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Unlikely To Play In Week 6
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 6 matchup. However, it sounds like Harris is more than likely going to sit out this contest. Previous injury reports had Harris missing multiple weeks of action, so it seems unlikely that he'd be ready this fast. The team is likely going to wait until closer to game time to make a final decision. The expectation is that Rhamondre Stevenson would be the lead back and have RB1 value for this Week 6 matchup with the Cleveland Browns.
Oct 16, 2022 • 1:20 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris A Game-Time Call For Week 6
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) will work out ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Browns. If all goes well, he'll be out there. However, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it "would be a surprise" if Harris can suit up in Week 6. As a result, Rhamondre Stevenson may be in the driver's seat again. The 24-year-old had a monster showing in Week 5 versus the Lions, finishing with 161 yards off 25. With backup signal-caller Bailey Zappe expected to start, Stevenson could see plenty of action against a Browns defense that will be without Jadeveon Clowney (ankle, knee, elbow).
Oct 16, 2022 • 6:23 AM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Questionable For Week 6
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Cleveland Browns. He practiced in a limited fashion in back-to-back chances and has a shot to suit up against Cleveland in Week 6. The 25-year-old reportedly was expected to miss time after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Week 5 win over the Detroit Lions. If active, Harris would have a plus matchup against a Cleveland defense that allows 138 rushing yards per game and nearly 5.5 yards per carry to opposing running backs. Rhamondre Stevenson would be New England's lead back if Harris cannot suit up. Stay tuned.
Oct 15, 2022 • 3:34 AM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Gets In A Limited Practice On Wednesday
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in the team's practice on Wednesday. Harris is reportedly expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering a hamstring injury early in Week 5, so it comes as a surprise that he was able to practice already in any capacity. Fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up quite yet, but this is an encouraging sign that the 25-year-old could return sooner than anticipated. Assuming Harris is ruled out for Week 6, Rhamondre Stevenson will be a must-start fantasy option against the Cleveland Browns.
Oct 12, 2022 • 11:03 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Likely To Miss Multiple Games
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) is likely to miss multiple games because of the hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 5 win over the Detroit Lions, according to a source. Harris is still getting tests, but the expectation is that he's going to miss some time. There's a chance that he could be placed on Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games. Fantasy managers need to prepare for that possibility. In the meantime, Rhamondre Stevenson will be the team's lead back and will be a plug-and-play RB2 in fantasy. Rookie Pierre Strong Jr. will likely be active in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns, while J.J. Taylor and Kevin Harris will be options to be elevated from the practice squad for additional RB depth.
Oct 11, 2022 • 4:03 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Won't Return In Week 5
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. With New England facing one of the worst rushing defenses in football, Harris' absence is a tough blow. As the Patriots look to hold onto their lead in the second half, Rhamondre Stevenson will operate as the lead back.
Oct 9, 2022 • 6:45 PM | RotoBaller - Damien Harris • RB • NE
Damien Harris Questionable To Return Sunday
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) is questionable to return against the Detroit Lions in Week 5. Rhamondre Stevenson will operate as the lead back in his absence. Facing one of the worst rushing defenses in football, Stevenson could be in line for a big game, especially if Harris is unable to return.
