Who Should I Start? Kevin Harris or Deuce Vaughn

Monday, January 1, 10:15 AM

New England Patriots running back Kevin Harris rushed for 15 yards on two carries during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. He also caught both of his targets for an additional 54 yards through the air. Most of his production came from a short pass that Harris ultimately took 48 yards down the field, putting New England in the red zone and setting up a Bailey Zappe rushing touchdown. With Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) sidelined, the second-year back is averaging five touches per game since Week 15. However, he remains off the fantasy radar in most redraft formats.

The Dallas Cowboys placed rookie running back Deuce Vaughn (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and activated defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko (knee) from Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Vaughn's move to IR is a sign that Rico Dowdle (ankle) should be OK to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Washington Commanders on Sunday after he sat out last week's win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday. The 22-year-old Vaughn was the talk of training camp over the summer, but he never really found a meaningful role with Tony Pollard and Dowdle in front of him in his rookie season. He finishes his first year in the NFL with 23 carries for 40 yards and seven catches for an additional 40 yards through the air. With Vaughn now out heading into the playoffs, Malik Davis will serve as the team's No. 3 RB.
