Despite what you saw last week out of Harris, do not get him in your starting lineup. Plus, if the Pats are chasing points, we know the dump-offs will go to Stevenson, not Harris. Still, the Pats offense is not the Cowboys. They had allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs in the last month coming into Week 11, where Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott got the best of them. Minnesota ranks middle of the pack against running backs this season, but they have been very tough on them as of late. Harris has been too seldom used to trust this week against the Vikings. That will clearly not be the game script moving forward. And they were able to, as the Jets only mustered up a field goal themselves all game. They clearly could not throw on the Jets' tough defense (plus it was windy - ask Zach Wilson) so they were trying to run as much as they could. But this was a weird game for the Patriots that saw them only score a field goal up until the final five seconds. He finished with 93 yards, which was more than Rhamondre Stevenson. He did so playing a quarter of the snaps and carrying the ball eight times, adding in two targets. Harris is coming off his best game since Week 4, scoring 11.3 fantasy points against the Jets. Wilson is in play as an RB2 this week with more upside. He also should be the back they use to grind out the clock if they have a lead late. Wilson is much more effective on those inside carries as well with 41 rushing yards over expectation. In the last two weeks, Wilson and Mostert split the outside runs (10 to nine in favor of Mostert), but Wilson dominated the inside carries 17 to seven. The Texans have allowed the most rushing yards, the second-most yards on outside runs and the most on inside. Houston has allowed the most fantasy PPG to RBs in the past month (34.8) and on the year (31.03). The Dolphins backfield gets the best matchup a running back can have in the Texans. He has come in and immediately taken the lead back role, while Raheem Mostert gets to go back to being the secondary home run-hitting back. In his last game he rushed for 119 yards and added 24 as a receiver. has scored a touchdown in both of his games with the Dolphins and topped 16 fantasy points in each. Buy low on Pierce if you can and start him in this favorable matchup. After that, Pierce gets the Browns, Cowboys and Chiefs. They have also allowed 12 rushing touchdowns, which ranks seventh in the NFL. It starts this week against the Dolphins, who have ranked middle of the pack against running backs. That will change in the upcoming weeks as Pierce’s scheduling luck changes. But Pierce has had a very tough schedule as of late facing the Titans, Eagles, Giants and Commanders - all except the Eagles were in the bottom 10 in fantasy points allowed to running backs entering Week 11. Managers may be considering sitting him after last week, especially since his fantasy points have dwindled in every game since Week 4. It was rough, but it was in a very tough matchup, as the Commanders have been especially stingy to RBs as of late. He saw three targets, catching two of them for nine yards. Pierce is coming off his worst game of the season where he scored just 3.7 fantasy points rushing 10 times for eight yards.
