Who Should I Start? Damien Harris or Rhamondre Stevenson

Friday, October 20, 4:19 PM

Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris (neck, concussion) has been placed on injured reserve. He will miss a minimum of four games. In a corresponding move, running back Ty Johnson was elevated from the practice squad. Harris had been splitting time with Latavius Murray as depth options behind James Cook, but he will now miss extended time after exiting Week 6 and being taken to the hospital with a serious upper-body injury. Harris was discharged the next day, but his road to recovery will still take some time. Placing the 26-year-old on IR gives Murray sole possession of the No. 2 role while Johnson occupies the third-string role.

According to ESPN's Jeff Howe, New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) is expected to "miss time." The 25-year-old injured his ankle in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, ending the day with 39 yards off nine carries. X-rays were negative, and there's a belief he suffered a sprain. But with the Patriots not looking like a playoff team, Stevenson could be done for the year. If that's the case, Ezekiel Elliott, who has 112 touches for 429 yards and two scores in 12 appearances this season, should be in line for more work. However, New England has struggled to get anything going offensively, so Elliott's value for fantasy managers could be minimal.
