How this is measured
Each bar is the league at his position; the marker is him. Right is better, the dashed line is the median. Ranks are out of the qualifying pool, ties shown as T-, and move every week as the pool changes.
Harris scores 2.1 standard points a game, RB72 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 0.5 and 3.4; 0 boom weeks (12+) and 4 busts (under 5). Next up, in Week 9, the Eagles allow the 13th-most standard points to RBs, 18.2 a game.
Harris scores 2.2 half-PPR points a game, RB73 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 0.5 and 3.4; 0 boom weeks (16+) and 5 busts (under 6.5). Next up, in Week 9, the Eagles allow the 14th-most half-PPR points to RBs, 19.9 a game.
Harris scores 2.3 PPR points a game, RB76 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 0.5 and 3.4; 0 boom weeks (20+) and 5 busts (under 8). Next up, in Week 9, the Eagles allow the 16th-most PPR points to RBs, 21.5 a game.
How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the RB24 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.
How he's usedhis fingerprint, where the ball finds him and when
The passing game barely involves him: 3% of his touches are targets (league 18%). He runs from under center: 16% of his carries come from shotgun (league 34%). His share of the team's touches is 8%: on third down it falls to 2%; inside the 20 it climbs to 15%. RPOs are rare for him: 0% of his carries (league 7%).
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own touches, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying backs; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
Harris's -11.2 EPA is 50th of 70 backs. The biggest share comes after the catch (+0.5, 18th percentile per target). His incompletions rank in the 96th percentile (0.0). Runs cost him more than most (-12.4, 4th percentile).
career -0.07 over 2021–2024 · the lowest of his 5 seasons
How this is measured
Every carry and target this season, split by what happened. Catches divide at the catch: the yards in the air and what came after. Runs are per carry, the receiving parts per target. The percentile is him among the qualifying backs, higher is better, so a cost smaller than most ranks high. The parts add up to the totals above; the career strip counts seasons with at least 30 touches.

Touches are steady: 6.3 a game over his last three against 6.4 for the season. 5 straight games below a starter's median in touches. Week 6 was his season low in yards.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 15th-toughest slate vs the run: his opponents rank 15.6 of 32 on average (league middle 16.6). Ahead: 3 of his next 10 are top-10 vs the run and 5 are bottom-10, starting with the Eagles (32nd, away) in Week 9.
