Harris struggled on the ground in Week 3 against the Saints as he finished with just six carries for 14 yards. Look away fantasy managers, because he could be in for a performance reminiscent of this one for a second consecutive week. When you think of nightmare matchups for a running back, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the first team that comes to mind. For the first three weeks of the season, the Tampa Bay defense has shown why that is the case. They've given up just 63.7 rushing yards per game (fourth-fewest) against the likes of Ezekiel Elliott, Mike Davis, and Sony Michel.
Almost nothing in this matchup favors Harris, as the game script will likely call for Mac Jones trying to get chunk plays as they trail. In Week 3, the Patriots were chasing the game which led to him being phased out of the game plan. With Tom Brady and the dynamic Tampa Bay offense in town, this will likely once again limit Harris’ usage as a ball-carrier. By no means is the former Alabama star is a must-start option this week, as he almost certainly needs to score a touchdown to have any sort of noteworthy fantasy production. He is best valued as a low-end FLEX option in Week 4.
