By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Oct 19th 2024, 4:05am EDT
Harris opened the week by missing Wednesdayâs practice (ribs). He practiced in full the rest of the week and hasnât been listed with any injury designation for Week 7. Last week, he played 46% of the snaps with 16 touches and 122 total yards. He retained his leadback role, playing 54.5% of the snaps inside the red zone. Among 61 qualifying backs, Harris ranks 25th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 20th in yards after contact per attempt. Harris could surprise this week with another strong game. The Jetsâ secondary remains nasty, but their run defense is beatable. They have allowed the seventh-highest missed tackle rate, the ninth-highest rushing success rate, and the ninth-highest yards after contact per attempt.
