Logs 18 carries in rookie season
Harris finished the 2022 season with 18 carries for 52 yards and a TD in five games.
Analysis: As a rookie, the 2022 sixth-rounder saw limited action, with Rhamondre Stevenson and Damien Harris handling the bulk of the Patriots' backfield duties. With Damien Harris slated to become a free agent this offseason, there could be carries available next season for Kevin Harris, as well as 2022 fourth-rounder Pierre Strong. Though Kevin Harris is no threat to overtake Stevenson as the team's top early-down option, the 5-foot-10, 225-pounder, who played his college ball at South Carolina, could…read more

Inactive Sunday
Harris (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: He's the odd man out in the Patriots' backfield Sunday, with Rhamondre Stevenson and Damien Harris (back in action for the first time since Week 12) set to lead the team's Week 17 rushing attack, with Pierre Strong in reserve.

One carry versus Bengals
Harris carried once for three yards in Saturday's 22-18 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Despite Damien Harris (thigh) still being sidelined, Kevin Harris logged just four snaps in the contest, while working behind Rhamondre Stevenson (51 snaps), per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. Ahead of New England's final two regular-season contests, Kevin Harris is off the fantasy radar as long as Stevenson and/or Damien Harris are available.

Rushes for 19 yards Sunday
Harris carried five times for 19 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders while logging seven of a possible 65 snaps on offense, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Damien Harris (thigh) out and Rhamondre Stevenson (43 snaps, 19 carries, two catches) working through an ankle issue, Pierre Strong (four carries, three catches) and Kevin Harris worked in complementary roles Sunday. Looking ahead, neither Strong nor Kevin Harris profile as high-percentage fantasy options down the stretch as long as Stevenson and/or Damien Harris are available.

Helps fill in for Stevenson
Harris rushed eight times for 24 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 27-13 win over the Cardinals on Monday night.
Analysis: Harris ended up pacing the Patriots in rush attempts due to Rhamondre Stevenson's early exit with an ankle injury that first cropped up in the first quarter and was later aggravated shortly before halftime. Harris recorded a 14-yard touchdown run, the first of his career, during Stevenson's initial stint on the sideline, but he finished with 44 fewer rush yards than backfield mate Pierre Strong despite logging three more carries. If Stevenson's injury lingers into a Week 15 road battle against…read more

Doesn't play Monday
Harris was among the Patriots' inactives for Monday night's loss to the Bears, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: With Damien Harris back in the mix, the 2022 sixth-rounder was the odd man out in the Patriots' Week 7 backfield, which was led by Rhamondre Stevenson, with Pierre Strong in reserve. Kevin Harris is thus off the fantasy radar until injuries hit the team's RB corps.

Logs three carries in season debut
Harris carried three times for five yards in Sunday's 38-15 win over the Browns.
Analysis: The 2022 sixth-rounder suited up Sunday with Damien Harris (hamstring) out, logging 12 snaps behind lead back Rhamondre Stevenson (60 snaps), while fellow rookie Pierre Strong (one carry) saw action on four snaps. For now, Kevin Harris is off the fantasy radar, but if at any point the Patriots are without both Stevenson and Damien Harris, he could be pressed into an expanded early-down role.

Gets call-up from practice squad
The Patriots signed Harris off their practice squad Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The sixth-round rookie out of South Carolina was unable to secure a spot on the Patriots' Week 1 roster, but New England thought enough of the 5-foot-10, 225-pound back to include him on its practice squad once he cleared waivers. With Ty Montgomery (knee) having since been moved to injured reserve and with Damien Harris (hamstring) looking unlikely to suit up Sunday in Cleveland, Kevin Harris looks like he could get the chance to make his NFL debut Week 6. Though Rhamondre Stevenson is capable…read more

Joins Pats' practice squad
New England signed Harris to its practice squad Wednesday, Mike Dussault of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: J.J. Taylor was also re-signed to the practice squad after being cut a day earlier, giving the Patriots added backfield depth to turn to behind Damien Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson, Ty Montgomery and Pierre Strong, who are on the team's initial 53-man roster. Harris -- a 2022 sixth-round pick -- profiles a player that New England can groom on the practice squad.

Let go by New England
The Patriots will waive Harris on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though the 2022 sixth-round pick isn't in line to be included on the Patriots' initial 53-man roster, Harris is a candidate to land on the team's practice squad if he clears waivers.

Rushes for 54 yards Friday
Harris carried four times for 54 yards (including a 33-yard run) and caught one pass for seven yards in Friday's preseason finale against the Raiders.
Analysis: As long as Damien Harris (who sat out the contest with an unspecified injury) and Rhamondre Stevenson remain in the mix, Kevin Harris doesn't have a path to steady carries. However, the 2022 sixth-rounder's chances of securing a roster spot may have increased Friday, with Ty Montgomery having suffered an ankle injury. Also in the depth mix in the Patriots' backfield are fourth-rounder Pierre Strong and J.J. Taylor.

Scores TD in preseason opener
Harris rushed six times for nine yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for minus-2 yards in Thursday's 23-21 preseason loss to the Giants.
Analysis: It would have been a forgettable NFL debut for the rookie sixth-round pick out of South Carolina if not for his three-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Harris notably saw the field before fellow rookie Pierre Strong but after J.J. Taylor. Even with James White having announced his retirement, Harris is still locked in a battle with Taylor and Strong to make the roster behind Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson in a deep New England backfield. He'll look to bolster his case in the…read more

Sees second-team work
Harris has logged work with the Patriots' second unit during training camp, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Lazar notes that the 2022 sixth-rounder's "lower-body build catches the eye immediately; the guy is built like a Mack truck." Down the road, Harris -- who is listed as 5-foot-10, 225 pounds -- has a chance to become an early-down factor in the Patriots' backfield, but for now he slots in behind returnees Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson. As a result, the South Carolina product doesn't have a clear path to steady touches as long as that context remains in play.
