2025 Fantasy Outlook
Harris, a budding star in 2023, was limited to just three regular-season games last season. He was coming off a 101-tackle season and prepared to reach the next level in 2024, but a July calf injury lingered, and he aggravated it late in August. Once back on the field in December, Harris injured an ankle and was never 100 percent. He didn't participate in OTAs but was expected to be ready by camp and set to win back a starting job at outside linebacker. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.35 million contract with the Texans in June of 2022.
Won't play vs. Jacksonville
Harris (shin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
A shin injury prevented Harris from practicing all week, and he will miss Sunday's AFC South tilt as a result. He's mostly worked on special teams this season, but his absence means Jake Hansen and Jamal Hill will serve as the backup outside linebackers for Houston behind E.J. Speed and Henry To'oTo'o.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The Texans lost personnel up front this offseason, including linebacker and signal-caller Blake Cashman. That means the defense needs players to take on important roles in 2024. Harris, who began 2023 as a part-timer but finished as a full-timer, is expected to take on a larger role. He recorded 101 tackles, second only to Cashman's 106, and should return as an outside linebacker. Azeez Al-Shaair was signed as a free agent from Tennessee and should step into Cashman's spot at middle linebacker.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate to be dealt
Harris is a candidate to get traded in the next few weeks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Harris has held a minimal role in Houston's defense this season, with his highest snap count in a single game being 17. He was also a healthy scratch in Week 5, a clear indication that the team has no intention of expanding his usage in the near future. Harris battled injury in 2024 but logged 74 and 101 tackles in his first two years as a pro, so he could draw some interest around the league.
