Who Should I Start? Damien Harris or Bijan Robinson

Monday, March 25, 9:07 PM

Former New England Patriots running back Damien Harris announced his retirement from professional football on Monday at age 27. The Patriots selected Harris in the third round (87th overall) in the 2019 NFL draft out of Alabama, and he had 449 rushing attempts for 2,094 yards and 20 touchdowns in his four years in New England in 38 regular-season games (34 starts) while adding 40 receptions on 51 targets for an additional 281 receiving yards. Harris spent the 2023 campaign with the Buffalo Bills but played in only six games before suffering a season-ending concussion/neck injury that saw him be taken off the field in an ambulance. He'll end his NFL career after just five seasons, recording 2,188 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns on 427 carries with the Pats and Bills.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson seemed unstoppable during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Robinson saw a heavy workload as he rushed the ball 23 times for 104 yards and scored two touchdowns in the overtime loss. Robinson scored a one-yard and a four-yard touchdown, so not flashy plays, but he got the job done. He also hauled in four of his five targets for an additional 39 yards through the air. Robinson had a few sluggish weeks, but he is back to giving fantasy managers elite value. He'll head into a plus-matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 12.
