ST. STEVEN 4,145 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Even in PPR he might be inching towards really solid-start-status? Just based on the matchup this week, almost no team is as forgiving as HOU to backs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BRIGUY11 71 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I’m just finding it hard to believe that all 4 backs will be active on game day, someone has got to be a healthy scratch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hate Belichick and his tendency to zig when we all think he's going to zag. He's going to give 6 different running backs 5 touches, but no more. Or Michel comes back and gets 30 touches and then disappears forever. Or maybe they bring Corey Dillon out of retirement and make him the starter... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harck 478 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Yeah, Harris is a monster, but no one in this backfield can be trusted fantasy wise. Harris is an absolute monster of a player (as is the NE O-line) with his rushing average against 40-45% stacked boxes, but too crowded and 0 passing work. I can easily see a world where Michel is inactive or just takes 2-3 carries, but just him being there, the chance that he takes more and gets hot or Harris gets cold, not worth the risk. Maybe next year we'll see Harris molded into more of a feature back with some designed screens and passing work. Not going to drop him, but can't see myself playing him short-term unless I'm desperate. Edited November 21, 2020 by harck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrianM 1,203 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Heading to the bench for me and I'll drop if he gets even a partial chunk of his load handed to Sony. No catches, limited carries, and no goalline carries allowed by Bud Kilmer the OC? Done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatddy 140 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Glad to see you guys are souring and looking to bench him. I'll be confidently sending him out as RB2 for the week I've been holding him for. 2tds coming... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Al.Davis 508 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Curse you BB and your insatiable need to dole out Shanahan-jobs at RB! Why must you tinker with our rare ray of light in this cesspool of 2020RBs? Yet another reason to hate the Pats even when they suck. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's been so much better than Michel there's no real reason to be IMO. That said, if I owned him I admittedly would be. I really didn't think we'd see Michel again this year.

Prezkot 496 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I’m holding Harris in my flex spot until I see who the game day inactives are and if any news comes out right before the game. They could say Michel is just injury insurance since Harris has been banged up a bit in practice, or perhaps James White will be an inactive. I don’t think Michel is going to get the ol’ Billy B 30 carry switcheroo special. That being said if all four backs are active and no gameplan comes out, I’m benching Harris even if he’s in line for 15 carries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BennyStocks 7 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I think Harris will just play and be good for at least 65 yards and hopefully a TD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moveless 87 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 People going to stop worrying about Sony now? This is a Harris Backfield with Burkhead mixing in here and there until further notice. Fire him up! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harck 478 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Hope he gets some passing work now with Burkhead likely done for the season. Pats were weird on this one. Harris ran it down their throats in the opening drive, game was close for a couple quarters, but he never saw the field again until Burkhead went down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gandalfthecat 863 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I feel like the Texans dared them to throw and essentially...it worked. If I was any team playing the Pats, this would be my gameplan. He is the most game script dependent player in fantasy I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get that. Was Harris injured, or was he afraid for an injury? I really don't get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TTo34 2,942 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 If I had to guess what happens now, post Burkhead: Sony will be active now and siphon about 15% of 1st/2nd down work Damien will keep the remaining 85% of the 1st/2nd down work and assume 80% of Burkhead's work White will maintain his current role and assume 20% of Burkhead's work A net positive for Damien I think, and really could be a boon for his effectiveness now that teams won't be able to stuff the box on him. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
