I am not sure how the Pats line is doing this year, but I get the feeling they are around average. I think that KC game provided a blueprint of sorts for how to get after the BUF D, which isn't all that imposing. Attack right at them with the run game, they are undersized some along the D-Line and you can push them back/open lanes. This could be a 20+ carry week for D Harris. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DerrickHenrysCleats 6,037 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Sony Michel can get 16 carries in a game but Damien cant? One time he did he went for 100 Pretty obvious Brady carried the Pats for years. 1 year without him and the Pats sign cam newton who can't throw and run a RBBC with Cam at the goal line.

Dirtywater97 1,074 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 The Pats have been bad on offense the past 2 weeks. They aren't going to be lights out this year, but willing to bet these past 2 weeks of this season are more of an outlier than the norm. I don't think they won't be able to muster 100 yards in the air with Cam again. You just don't see that in the NFL. Link to post Share on other sites

Bills really leak badly with the run, and it's not like Cam can be the entire rushing offence as that's not sustainable long-term. Michel is done and dusted, Burkhead sucks, and White is hobbled. It's Damien time now or never imo. This sophomore season is crucial for him to stake his spot in the team, much like it is for the fading Harry. Agree 100%. And the weather there is supposed to suck this weekend, super high winds, no pass game. It's this week or never for Harris. Link to post Share on other sites
jujus-jujubees 948 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Dropping him for a kicker this week because of byes/injuries. Enjoy the 1,000 yard/10 TD second half people. Link to post Share on other sites
gullit18 34 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Is this guy good to go for today? He is listed as questionable. Link to post Share on other sites
codyodea 351 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 ESPN says he's "fine" and expected to start. Cold game and Cam can't throw. Would seem like a run heavy game. Problem is NE has been trying to go run heavy every week but they can't seem to pull it off. D gives up points and Cam has to try and rally. I want to start Harris but a pattern has emerged.

owenmills 5,327 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Probably not starting but I hope he produces so we can start next week against NYJ. If he’s not usable by then he’s WW fodder 1 Link to post Share on other sites

harck 478 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Kid is showing some real real talent. Looks great running it. I think every successive week he becomes a bigger part of the gameplan. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
yung_fetty 170 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) [...] Rarely do you strike gold on injured WW unknowns... but this why you do it if you have nothing to lose. If he gets 3+ targets a game, he could be a solid RB2 option ros with a higher ceiling. For now, solid floor option Edited November 1, 2020 by tonycpsu Removed Cool Story Link to post Share on other sites

harck 478 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 He's got this backfield on lock. It's clear they see him as the future, and the RB coach says week to week they want him to touch the ball more. He will be in nearly every first and second down in decently close games. Like someone else pointed out, if they can start working him into the passing game, getting him screens -- wew, he will be nice week to week. With no passing game play though he's still a high RB3 / low RB2. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

MingusDew 407 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 He looks great out there. I've been holding him on my bench all year, so might as well finally start him against the Jets next week. Fully expecting a dud, but if not now then when? Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, if you've been holding he's a must start this week vs NYJ or else what was the point. Of course I also fully expect him to crash and burn now that he's in everyone's lineups because that's how fantasy football works 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But in future, patriots will use a lot? Idk In dynasty, I'd be buying low wherever I could. Burkhead and White will be coming off the books next year. Sony is as good as gone already. I see the Patriots drafting a young QB to groom, and probably draft a RB as a White replacement. Probably starting Stidham next year as a game manager with a run heavy game plan. Definitely a lot of potential value here. Link to post Share on other sites
