2023 Fantasy Outlook
Harris, a 2022 sixth-round pick, saw limited action last year, logging 18 carries for 52 yards and a TD in five games, while Rhamondre Stevenson and Damien Harris handled the bulk of the Patriots' backfield duties. With Damien Harris now with the Bills, Harris -- along with Ezekiel Elliott, Pierre Strong and Ty Montgomery -- who will compete for the veteran's vacated carries. Although the younger Harris is no threat to overtake Stevenson as the team's top early down option, the 5-10, 225-pounder could yield occasional fantasy utility in 2023 if he secures a key backup role and Stevenson misses time.

Records 16 carries this past season
RBNew England Patriots
January 11, 2024
Harris finished the 2023 regular season with 16 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 58 yards in four games with the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Harris spent the bulk of his second year as a pro on the Patriots' practice squad, but he ended up working in a complementary role for the team down the stretch behind Ezekiel Elliott due to Rhamondre Stevenson being sidelined by an ankle injury. The 2022 sixth-rounder remains under contract with New England through the 2024 campaign, per Evan Lazar of the team's official site, and Harris thus will have an opportunity to carve out a role next season as an early-down power back option behind Stevenson. Whether such a gig translates into fantasy relevance hinges on where Harris lands on the depth chart in the wake of the Patriots' looming offseason moves in free agency and the draft.

Increasing chance of getting cut
RBNew England Patriots
August 16, 2023
Dakota Randall of NESN.com posits that Harris could be cut when the Patriots trim their roster down to 53 players ahead of Week 1.
ANALYSIS
Neither Harris nor Pierre Strong have been standing out in camp, and the ongoing struggles of the two 2022 draft picks prompted New England to sign veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott on Monday. The Patriots will likely keep only one additional running back behind Elliott and Rhamondre Stevenson, and Strong appears to have the edge over Harris thanks to Strong's superior speed and receiving ability.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Heading into the 2022 NFL Draft, running back didn't look like a major short-term need for the Patriots, but with Damien Harris approaching the final year of his rookie deal, the team took a proactive approach in taking Pierre Strong in Round 4 and then Kevin Harris in the sixth round. While neither rookie has a clear or immediate path to steady touches, that could change in the event of roster moves or injuries. At 5-10, 221 pounds, Kevin Harris is a power back to develop behind top early down options Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson, but as long as the returnees remain healthy and available, the South Carolina product is of more interest in dynasty formats than redraft leagues.
