Damien Harris

We all know Sony Michel's performance has been uninspiring since the Patriots drafted him but did you know he had off-season foot surgery.....in the Spring! Foot injuries are a nightmare to come back from, especially when he might not be ready to go by the preseason, if there is one. Don't be surprised if Harris gets the starting gig from the get-go. You can say he didn't get many touches last year, but Belichick only makes backup RBs active when they are third-down options or used on special teams. Harris is neither. Instead, he could play the Steven Ridley role this season in a run-heavy offense.

Damien Harris expected to see more work in 2020

Damien Harris could pair well with primary running-back Sony Michel on early downs and should see more work as a result. "His power-running style, coupled with 2018 first-round pick Sony Michel, gives the Patriots a potentially nice one-two combination,” per ESPN's Mike Reiss.

Fantasy Impact

Harris was buried on the bench in 2019, but could see more carries as a one-two punch with Sony Michel. The 23-year-old doesn't turn the ball over and is known as a physical downhill runner. Harris recorded only four carries for 12 yards across two games in 2019. He is worth stashing in dynasty leagues and is a hold in deep-league formats.
