Damien Harris Announces His Retirement

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.

Najee Harris Gets Difficult Matchup In Week 12

Wednesday, November 20, 7:44 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has been a consistent fantasy producer for most of the season and will hope to continue this success on the road against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns have been solid against the run this year, specifically in Cleveland where they allow just 98.6 rushing yards per game. Nonetheless, Harris is a dependable fantasy asset based on volume. The 26-year-old has been given at least 16 opportunities in every contest this season and usually earns a few looks in the passing game even with backfield mate Jaylen Warren healthy. Thursday night's divisional face-off isn't expected to be high-scoring, so while Harris' touchdown upside might be somewhat limited, he still offers a high floor and thus should be started in most formats as an RB2.
