Im fine if White stays but if Burkhead stays then id be dissapointed as a Harris owner 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The talent is there. Does 22 for 121 not play in your league? I get that the TDs aren't there, but if you're not starting him against Houston next week you must have some nice options.

The reality is his ceiling is capped this year because of Cam and Burkhead. I'm simply suggesting that next year is when I think he'll really own this backfield. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brosephd 1,330 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 multiple 100 yard performances is impressive, especially in this RBBC. proving why patriots was so fond with him preseason. if he got the workload, he'd totally be josh jacobs in his rookie year.

When my other guys ahead of him get hurt. He's depth and insurance for me and a guy that I'm keeping an eye as a keeper for 2021. He's going to be a good keeper option for a lot of teams going into next year, especially if Burkhead and/or White sign elsewhere...oh, and Cam, too. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites

And they have another stud coming out next year. I'll just say it now, as long as he ends up in a situation where he'll be the lead back, Najee Harris is going to be a stud from the jump. Big and fast with soft hands...dude will be a monster. But anyway...Damien Harris is emerging, and it was good to see him do it on national TV yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites
owenmills 5,327 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Love the player, hate the offense. Burkhead once again outperformed him in fantasy. I think Harris is a fine bench stash and bye/injury/emergency start but he needs NE to dominate gameflow so he can rack up the carries. Surprisingly happened last night although the pouring rain may have helped. If NE can play better he may get that gamescript more often. He's not catching the ball though and Cam/Burkhead seem to be the preferred red zone options. Burkhead seems more matchup proof. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He's had two (TWO!) targets in his six games this season. Caught both of them, btw, lol. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

fingers 658 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 He probably can haul in passes but Burkhead has been putting together a nice season and is playing very well. Link to post Share on other sites
HOF12 348 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Great player hate the usage. Definitely not worth rostering in PPR leagues. unless of course your league is big. sucks that they don’t give him any targets. and to think they could have a complete back if they really used him properly. the thing is the coaching staff is still pretty much using a rbbc since that’s what suited brady. I think they’re forgetting that they no longer have Brady. Having James white and Burkhead in there shows their hand. The difference now is that with Brady it didn’t matter if they showed their hand. With cam you pretty much know what’s going to happen if Rex or white are on the field Edited November 16, 2020 by HOF12 Link to post Share on other sites

harck 478 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Beat writers at training camp were raving about his pass-catching ability. Unfortunately, the Pats have Harris in a clearly defined role and he's quite good at it. Bruising defenses down. Would love for him to catch passes for fantasy purposes, but it's obvious it ain't happening this year. Still a fun kid to watch, he's really damn good. If he had a workhorse role in an offense, he'd be putting up 25+ consistently. The guy puts up 12-15 points a week off raw rushing alone with very little goal line work and no passes, alongside a QB who also rushes. Imagine 3-4 passes and goal line.
