Damien Harris
RB -
Week 16 Outlook
Availability
Damien Harris announced his retirement from the NFL after five seasons.
Fantasy Impact
Harris ran for 2,188 yards with 21 total touchdowns across his five years with the Bills and Patriots. "Today I am grateful I have found the strength to walk away from the game I love so much,” Harris said in a statement on social media.
The Bills are placing Damien Harris (neck) on their injured reserve, knocking him out for at least four games.
Fantasy Impact
Harris suffered a scary neck injury in Week 6 that required him to leave the field in an ambulance, and although it turned out to be not as serious as originally thought, it's still a bad enough injury to land him on injured reserve. He will be out for the next four games at the very least, which will open the door for Latavius Murray to get more work in his extended absence.
Damien Harris has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
Harris suffered a scary injury last Sunday night against the Giants where he was taken off the field in an ambulance. It should continue to be James Cook and Latavius Murray leading the Bills backfield.
Buffalo Bills RB Damien Harris (neck/concussion), who was taken to the hospital during the Week 6 matchup with the New York Giants, is missing his second practice of the week.
Fantasy Impact
This is expected, as Harris will need some time for recovery. He was diagnosed with a neck sprain and entered the league's concussion protocol. RB Latavius Murray should see an increased workload as the team's true RB2 behind RB James Cook, though a matchup with the New England Patriots isn't super favorable.
Damien Harris (neck) entered concussion protocol following Sunday's win over the Giants, per head coach Sean McDermott.
Fantasy Impact
Harris was taken to the hospital after a scary on-field situation Sunday, but he was discharged on Monday and is now resting at home. According to a tweet from the team, the running back "has a neck sprain but seems to be in good spirits."
