New England Patriots to ‘buy’ after Week 10: Damien Harris
One of the best players in 2020 has been Damien Harris. After his performance in Week 10, it seems like he could be the starter moving forward.
Harris has taken the opportunity that was handed to him when Sony Michel went on Injured Reserve and ran with it. His time in the backfield has been nothing but a success.
In just six games, Harris has ran for nearly 500 yards. That is something that Patriots fans could only dream to get out of Michel.
Harris just runs angry and is able to gain yards at a great rate. He sees the hole and takes it with lightning-quick speed. Harris can escape and break off some long runs.
In Week 10, Harris had another great performance. He ran for 121 yards which was his third game with over 100 yards. That is exactly what you want from your running back.
Harris honestly might have stolen the starting job from Michel. It’s hard to see Harris being taken off the field. He deserves to get a majority of the carries.
So fans should be excited with how Harris is performing. It will be interesting to see what his numbers look like at the end of the season.
