Who Should I Start? Damien Harris or Josh Jacobs

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.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee, ankle) is officially listed as questionable to play on Saturday night against the division-rival Chicago Bears after missing practice all week, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. It's an injury that dates back to Week 11 for Jacobs. The 27-year-old was held out of Week 12, but he's played in each of the last three games and has maintained his workhorse role at less than 100%. Jacobs was also questionable going into last Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. He played through the knee injury on his way to 12 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions for 19 yards and his first receiving TD of the year. Jacobs is expected to gut through his knee injury again versus Chicago, where he'll be a low-end RB1 for fantasy managers. He's found the end zone 14 total times in 2025 in 13 games played.
