Chris Harris Jr.
CB -
Week 17 Outlook
Availability
Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Chris Harris Jr. is inactive for Monday Night Football against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
Harris was limited all week with the shoulder injury but will be inactive for what could prove to be a pivotal matchup in the AFC West. He has not played since Week 1 due to the injury and will miss at least one more game for the banged-up Chargers defense. Asante Samuel Jr. will continue to start in his place.
Chris Harris Jr. has been activated off IR and will play in Sunday's matchup against the Bills.
Fantasy Impact
Harris will make an immediate impact on defense and should lower the ceiling for Stefon Diggs. However, Diggs should still be started as a surefire WR1.
The Chargers have activated former All-Pro CB Chris Harris Jr. and he'll play Week 12 vs. the Bills.
Fantasy Impact
Harris hasn't played a game since Week 3, and his availability couldn't have come at a more opportune time. With Casey Hayward already ruled out, and Derwin James on IR, Harris's return helps boost a Chargers' D/ST that's been ravaged by injuries this season.
Denver Broncos CB Chris Harris Jr. is headed to short-term IR with a foot injury.
Fantasy Impact
This news comes as no surprise as it was reported Monday that Harris Jr. would likely miss 4-6 weeks with the injury. The Chargers D/ST still boasts a formidable duo of CBs in Casey Hayward and Desmond King, but the injuries are starting to add up. They are now without Harris Jr. (short-term IR), Derwin James (season-ending IR), and DE Melvin Ingram (Short-term IR) with tough matchups against Tampa Bay and New Orleans in their next two games. Fantasy managers should monitor closely.
Chris Harris Jr. is expected to miss at least a month and potentially up to six weeks after suffering a foot injury in the Chargers' loss to the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
The extent and exact nature of the injury are unclear right now, but this is another brutal blow to a Chargers defense that is already dealing with the loss of Derwin James. The Los Angeles defense is still strong, including its secondary, but Harris's injury will certainly make things easier for opposing slot receivers. Fantasy managers should keep that in mind with upcoming matchups against the Bucs and Saints.
