Bottom Line

Harris underwhelmed in 2022, but was it due to an early-season injury? Or maybe New England’s dysfunctional offense?

It’s a moot point now, as the now-healthy 26-year-old joined an established Bills offense looking for a thumper. That role could include heavy goal-line usage – and ten+ TD upside.

Sure, Harris figures to be inconsistent given his lack of receiving upside. But for the RB4-level price, he’s a low-risk target.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Harris failed to deliver in a contract year with New England.
    • Among 44 RBs with 100+ carries, Harris ranked 23rd in Pro Football Focus rushing grade, 19th in yards after contact per attempt, and 38th in Elusive Rating.
  • However, the Pats rolled out a run-blocking unit that ranked last in ESPN’s Run Block Win Wate; 20th in PFF’s run-blocking grade.
  • Harris missed five games with thigh/hamstring issues.
  • He finished as a top-24 PPR RB only four times. He never cracked the top-12.
  • One other issue? Harris remained quiet as a pass-catcher. He caught only 17 passes – one shy of a career-high.
  • Despite a rough environment, Harris watched Rhamondre Stevenson take over the backfield and finish PPR RB8.
  • Absent an OC, New England’s offense lacked any direction or creativity. The stale unit ranked 26th in yards per game.
What to Expect in 2023
  • Harris signed a team-friendly, one-year deal with the Bills in March (only $1 million guaranteed).
  • Moving to Buffalo is certainly a macro-level upgrade for Harris.
  • He joins a backfield that lost 177 carries from 2022 lead back Devin Singletary.
  • RB James Cook enters year two poised for a bigger role. GM Brandon Beane suggested as much after the dynamic rookie averaged only 5.5 carries per game.
  • Cook profiles as the better receiver, so it’s tough to see Harris carving out much of a role there.
  • In year one under OC Ken Dorsey, Buffalo ranked 16th in carries per game.
  • Buffalo ranked 28th in PFF run blocking grade last year but added talent to the unit with guards Connor McGovern and rookie O'Cyrus Torrence.
  • Harris’ differentiator is his power. A stout 215 pounds, we anticipate Harris seeing the majority of the goal line work.
  • Buffalo ranked 2nd last year with 28.4 points per game. But will the Bills (and Josh Allen) deliver on their talk of reducing the QB’s rushing role?
    • Allen scored five times on 15 rushes inside the ten-yard line in 2022.

Leonard Fournette, RB BUF

1:14pm EDT 10/30/23

Bills adding Leonard Fournette

Bleacher Report's Jordan Schultz reports that RB Leonard Fournette is planning to sign with the Bills, pending a physical. The move would add Fournette to a backfield currently led by James Cook, who ranks just 26th among RBs in PPR points per game. Adding Fournette would seem to indicate the team hopes he can at least be an upgrade over Latavius Murray and Damien Harris -- and perhaps that the Bills would like to siphon a bit more work away from Cook. The crowd will make it tough for any Buffalo RB to consistently help your fantasy lineup. We'll watch for more details on how quickly the Bills plan to bring Fournette along and how the work might be split.

Update: Fournette has passed his physical and is signing with the team's practice squad, his agents have said. Don't be surprised if the Bills elevate him as soon as this weekend.

The Bills placed RB Damien Harris (neck, concussion) on IR. He'll miss at least the next four games and can be dropped in most fantasy leagues. RB Latavius Murray should get an uptick in work with Harris sidelined. Harris' absence can't hurt RB James Cook's volume either.

Bills RB Damien Harris (neck, concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. He's averaged 4.4 carries in five healthy games this season. Expect most of that work to go to RB Latavius Murray this weekend, putting him on the RB3 radar.

Bills RB Damien Harris has a neck sprain "but is otherwise good," a source tells insider Jordan Schultz. It's excellent news after Harris was taken off the field in an ambulance during Sunday night's game vs. the Giants. We'll look for further updates on when Harris might be able to get back on the field. His absence figures to boost RB Latavius Murray's workload.

Dynasty Write-up
Harris missed significant time in 2022 due to thigh/hamstring injuries. When active, he was out-produced by Rhamondre Stevenson. The ‘Bama product departed in free agency via a 1-year deal with Buffalo. He projects as an early-down compliment -- and a potential upside TD play -- alongside James Cook.
