Video: Damien Harris Free Agency Preview: Will He Return To Patriots?
The 2023 free agency class of running backs is as loaded as we’ve seen in a long time (Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard, Damien Harris, etc). Who will be back? Who will sign elsewhere? And perhaps most importantly (for us), how will this impact our dynasty fantasy football teams?

Damien Harris Free Agency Preview
The warning signs were there all summer long, telling us not to draft Damien Harris in redraft and to get out in dynasty. Between losing his job to Rhamondre Stevenson and numerous stints on the injury report, Harris’ dynasty value has plummeted. The same could be said about his value on the open market. It would be a shock to see him back in New England. He’s unlikely to find a starting gig anywhere else, either. Instead, we can anticipate a committee role or even a true backup job on a one-year deal in 2023. His best case scenario would be to pair with a Kenny Gainwell in Philadelphia or a James Cook in Buffalo. We could also see him reunite with Josh McDaniels if Josh Jacobs leaves Vegas and have a chance to compete with Zamir White.
The next man up in New England would be Kevin Harris. We’ve seen Pierre Strong involved a bit this year as well, but Kevin Harris is more the plodder type like Damien Harris. We liked Kevin Harris coming out of South Carolina last year where he had an extremely productive sophomore season before a back injury set him back. But that sophomore season showed us he can be a workhorse running back that dominates in between the tackles and in short-yardage situations. He’s big and powerful and has enough juice to break off a few chunk plays here and there.
What do you think will happen with Damien Harris in free agency? Will he return to Patriots? Let us know!
