joshua18 7,028 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) [...]I always thought he was better than Jacobs, but the Burkhead/Harris/White competition is concerning. Edited October 5, 2020 by tonycpsu Removed Assistant Coach content Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IlliniGuy76 1,124 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Don't overthink this - everything out of camp was they loved this guy & wanted him to be their primary back. Michel went on IR, Burkhead certainly isn't an every down back. It's Harris time baby! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why? Burkhead will get his 4-6 carries tonight as he always does - White will come in on purely passing downs. I'd be quite surprised if Harris doesn't see 15+ carries tonight IF they can keep it close with Hoyer behind center & aren't forced to throw the ball to stay in the game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SadFaceHappy 2,049 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 He's a dart throw. Could be useless, could turn into a 3 down back, could land somewhere in between. Worthwhile gamble if you can take it. I've had him stashed on IR on a couple teams. On another, just dropped Chase Edmonds for him (would've preferred to drop Cooks or Jeff Wilson, but I started them this week so they're stuck). It's a gamble on another gamble, but I think I can pick Chase back up on waivers. All that aside, he got good buzz. Would be nice for the Pats to have a RB out there who doesn't tip their hand, so I could see him taking snaps from White as well as Burkhead. We'll just have to see how he performs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JJ Taylor was who I meant to add as a concern, but what the heck; YOLO. No Cam to vulture him, and I’ve always believed. See you all on the other side. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JE7HorseGod 2,601 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 This is a Patriots RB. He will have a game where he scores 3 TDs and then a couple weeks later he will be DNP - coaches decision while some guy who is a FA now starts. It is written. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have Rex, J White, etc...Cam will run...anyone have an idea of his floor and ceiling in the next 2 weeks and then in the whole season? [...] I think most people are hoping for Sony Michel 2018. So a pretty solid flex spot, but will put up some stinkers cause that what Belichik does. He should get atleast a few weeks to show if he's better than Michel/Burkhead. I wouldn't use him till he shows something though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yung_fetty 170 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Two questions monumental to his gaining and keeping FF friendly role in the backfield: Can he CATCH the ball as competently as Burk/White? Will he be the RZ back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't drop Edmonds or any lottery ticket handcuff for a back with this muddled a backfield. Some of us need to see quick ROI from this guy, here is hoping he blows up tonight with the running QB on Covid-IR. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dnorma2 47 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'm thinking 10 carries 120 yards and 2 tds 4 catches 47 yards and a touchdown 1 pass 31 yards and a touchdown 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST. STEVEN 4,149 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 This could be huge! Or JJ Taylor could get 12 first half carries?! Ya never know with BB...but don't make the mistake of thinking that someone besides James White can't emerge and be a valuable RB2 type for fantasy, plenty have. Harris will at least get an opportunity tonight, up to him...pretty clear he has some talent--and pedigree/draft capital. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Both are gambles, but their situations are different. Harris' role is unknown, but we don't know that Edmonds will have a bigger role either.

Jubanton 345 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Ouch... Dianna Russini reporting that they will be leaning specifically on the running game tonight especially James White. Hope Harris does something amazing to warrant more than a handful of carries. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moveless 87 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I wonder if this game could go full garbage time by second half and we see Harris get some in game reps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owenmills 5,326 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I have this feeling that the 2 hours between him being activated and the start of the game is his peak value and I should ship his a** for anything of value 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
