Jacob Harris released by Jacksonville

The Jacksonville Jaguars have released WR Jacob Harris.

Fantasy Impact

Harris made the move from tight end to wide receiver last year with the Rams, but has yet to see regular playing time in the NFL. The former fourth-round pick could have a market on a team in need of some speed on special teams.

Jacob Harris hauls in four catches Friday

Jacob Harris caught 4-of-7 targets for 24 yards in a loss to the Texans Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Harris has spent this offseason and training camp converting from a TE to a WR. Despite being an amazing athlete, he has an uphill battle finding playing time on a stacked offensive roster. Fantasy managers should wait and see if Harris can crack the 53-man roster.

Jacob Harris converting to wide receiver

The Los Angeles Rams are working on converting TE Jacob Harris to a wide receiver.

Fantasy Impact

Harris was drafted more as a hybrid TE/WR combo, but he strictly played TE until an ACL tear ended his season in November. Considering the 25-year-old is going undrafted in all but the deepest leagues, fantasy managers can wait to see where (and if) he fits in with the Rams' plans before drafting him.

Jacob Harris suffers season-ending ACL and MCL injuries

According to LA Rams coach Sean McVay, TE Jacob Harris has suffered ACL and MCL injuries that will require season-ending surgery.

Fantasy Impact

Harris wasn't someone you were playing in fantasy this year. He may be someone you could roster in dynasty leagues going forward, but shouldn't be a priority add.

Jacob Harris drawing hype as mismatch weapon

With Tyler Higbee not practicing, rookie tight end Jacob Harris has seen first-team reps during OTAs. The Rams' coaching staff has been impressed by the fifth-round pick, who has proven he can move around the field and serve as a true mismatch headache for other teams. In addition to being a tall and agile pass-catcher, Harris is expected to have a major role on special teams. When commenting on the rookie, head coach Sean McVay said, "I think he’s a guy that has a tremendous amount of upside. Wes Phillips has done a really nice job of getting him up to speed. His natural range, catch radius, body control for a player of his size is pretty rare. I think you guys can see — for NFL guys to stand out the way that he has done, in some of these limited settings, in shorts and in helmets, he’s definitely made a positive impression."

Fantasy Impact

McVay isn't the only Rams coach excited about Harris. Rams scout Michael Pierce, who first tipped the team on potentially drafting Harris, said, "If you think that he can be a tight end—which, I think he can be a tight end—then you say, ‘Let him develop, and he’ll win a spot at tight end because he’s so athletic, so fast, he can jump so high and he has that determination that you want out of the position. But then you think, ‘OK, he can be a receiver,’ because he’s got that top-shelf speed, he can really get to the top of coverage, he can jump and attack the ball." There is also a data side to the hype surrounding Harris. “I have done some studies over the past few years, looking at positions where, in those later rounds, what is going to give you the most success?” explained Sarah Bailey, a football analytics manager. “Tight end is one of those positions where the athlete has more probability of actually making it. I look at probability of playing, and when he switched his position from wideout to tight end, he actually increased his probability of playing by almost 20 percent." Ultimately, the stars are all aligning for Harris. Offseason coachspeak should be taken cautiously and Harris may not be an immediate breakout candidate, but he's still an intriguing stash regardless.
