2022 Fantasy Outlook
The Patriots' decision to trade Sony Michel last summer paved the way for a breakout from
Harris, and the Alabama product seized the opportunity with five 100-yard games and 15
touchdowns on the ground while posting modest career highs as a receiver. However, minor
bumps and bruises cost Harris a couple games, and during a Week 10 absence rookie
Rhamondre Stevenson emerged as a strong alternative. The duo teamed up to wear down
defenses in the second half of the season, with Harris finding the end zone six times in the final
three weeks. As a runner, the 25-year-old Harris offers a good blend of power, balance and
patience that allows him to hit holes and plow through traffic, making up for average speed and
size. New England's backfield figures to be more of the same in 2022, with Ty Montgomery potentially replacing retired James White as the passing-down specialist. A pair of draft picks joining the backfield could be another complicating factor, though Stevenson's involvement was the exception rather than the rule for first-year RBs under coach Bill Belichick, so expectations should be kept in check with fourth-rounder Pierre Strong and sixth-rounder Kevin Harris. The experienced NFL starter, Damien Harris, likely retains the edge here, but Stevenson is both larger and more powerful, so week-to-week production between them could well depend on matchups or the hot hand.

Heading to Buffalo
The Bills and Harris agreed to terms on a one-year contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After losing Devin Singletary to the Texans earlier Monday, the Bills were in need of reinforcements at running back. Harris is the first to join holdovers James Cook and Nyheim Hines. Considering that Cook and Hines ring in at 190 and 196 pounds, respectively, the 5-foot-11, 213-pound Harris becomes the top candidate for early down and short-yardage work with his new squad. In the first four seasons of his career with the Patriots, Harris averaged 4.7 yards and scored 20 touchdowns on his 449 carries across 38 games while also hauling in 40 of 51 targets for 281 more yards.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
After barely seeing the field as a rookie, Harris had his sophomore NFL campaign bookended by three-game absences due to finger and ankle injuries. For the 10 games in between, he was a solid addition to the New England backfield, posting three 100-yard rushing games and averaging five yards per carry in an offense that gave defenses little reason to worry about the passing game. Harris' best asset is his versatility. He's a patient runner with the power and balance to make his way through traffic, and while James White's presence gave him few opportunities to show it, Harris' college resume suggests he could handle third downs in a pinch. He doesn't have breakaway speed, meaning he needs volume to make an impact rather than being a threat to go the distance with every touch. With Sony Michel having been traded to the Rams, Harris has a chance to be the team's clear-cut option on running downs. Meanwhile, White remains entrenched as the team's top pass-catching/change-of-pace option, with power back Rhamondre Stevenson poised to serve as a complement/backup to Harris when it comes to early-down work, and 5-foot-6, 185-pound J.J. Taylor potentially mixing in as well. Though Stevenson impressed during the preseason, the Patriots have in the past tended to ease rookie backs into the mix, so with Michel -- who had been in line to see his share of touches in tandem with Harris -- out of the picture, added opportunities are now available for Harris in what could be a run-heavy attack helmed by rookie QB Mac Jones.
