Who Should I Start? Damien Harris or Khalil Herbert

Monday, September 18, 1:45 AM

Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris ran seven times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 26-year-old most notably plowed into the end zone with the Bills sitting on the ball in the fourth quarter amidst the blowout victory. Harris also continues to see his fair share of high-value touches, keeping him on the fantasy map in games Buffalo is projecting for positive game script. That particular setup was ripe for the picking in this one, and the power back hit paydirt to save an otherwise middling display for "zero-RB" fantasy managers who took the leap of faith in starting him. With Harris well behind James Cook for base work and also sharing red zone totes with incumbent veteran Latavius Murray, he once again resides on the TD-dependent RB3/4 fringe for Week 3's favorable draw against the Washington Commanders.

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert should be a focal point of the offense as the Bears try and get into the win column against the Buccaneers in Week 2. Herbert got off to a solid start in Week 1 but then the wheels fell off for the entire Chicago offense. He will face a Tampa Bay defense that allowed only 41 team rushing yards to the Vikings last week. The Bears offense is already at a crossroads one week into the season and playmakers like Herbert need to be involved. The talented back will carry RB3/4 fantasy value heading into Week 2.
