Houston Texans
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Harris, a budding star in 2023, was limited to just three regular-season games last season. He was coming off a 101-tackle season and prepared to reach the next level in 2024, but a July calf injury lingered, and he aggravated it late in August. Once back on the field in December, Harris injured an ankle and was never 100 percent. He didn't participate in OTAs but was expected to be ready by camp and set to win back a starting job at outside linebacker. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.35 million contract with the Texans in June of 2022.

Coach's Decision
October 5, 2025
Harris (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Harris worked in a rotational role at outside linebacker and contributed on special teams through the first four games of the regular season, but the 2022 third-rounder will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game in Baltimore. Jake Hansen and E.J. Speed should see a slight increase in defensive snaps in Harris' absence.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The Texans lost personnel up front this offseason, including linebacker and signal-caller Blake Cashman. That means the defense needs players to take on important roles in 2024. Harris, who began 2023 as a part-timer but finished as a full-timer, is expected to take on a larger role. He recorded 101 tackles, second only to Cashman's 106, and should return as an outside linebacker. Azeez Al-Shaair was signed as a free agent from Tennessee and should step into Cashman's spot at middle linebacker.
Harris was a third-round draft pick in the 2022 draft and ended up playing meaningful snaps upon his return from injury Week 7. The Alabama product registered 74 tackles, six for loss, three quarterback hits, one sack and an interception over 12 games. He'll start at outside linebacker.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate to be dealt
LBHouston Texans
October 8, 2025
Harris is a candidate to get traded in the next few weeks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Harris has held a minimal role in Houston's defense this season, with his highest snap count in a single game being 17. He was also a healthy scratch in Week 5, a clear indication that the team has no intention of expanding his usage in the near future. Harris battled injury in 2024 but logged 74 and 101 tackles in his first two years as a pro, so he could draw some interest around the league.
