One-year deal Former Patriots RB Damien Harris reached agreement on a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter) FF Today's Take: The Bills have been searching for an early-down big back to go along with James Cook and Nyheim Hines and found their man in Harris who scored 15 touchdowns in New England back in 2021. The move for Harris was a necessity after Devin Singletary signed with the Texans earlier today. Harris' TD upside will be muted in Buffalo where QB Josh Allen has scored at least 6 rushing touchdowns in each of his five seasons.

On the same day RB Devin Singletary agreed to terms with the Texans, the Bills have reached a deal with a former rival. RB Damien Harris agreed to a one-year pact, according to multiple reports. The money has yet to be announced. It's tough to imagine the money being a lot less than the "up to $3.75 million" Singletary will get from the Texans. So Buffalo clearly believes Harris to be an upgrade. Expect him to complement James Cook, though we wouldn't rule out the Bills also making a significant backfield addition via the draft. Bijan Robinson in Round 1? Probably not. Harris -- who has averaged 4.7 yards per carry for his career and scored on a strong 4.5% of his career rushes -- lands in a good spot for TD upside. QB Josh Allen vultures some short-range rushing TDs, but Singletary still managed 12 ground scores over the past two years. Harris will be a nice value if he stays deep in RB4 range, as he currently sits in Underdog ADP. Cook should probably come down from his RB27 ADP there.
