Minimal impact in 2018

Harris recorded just 12 catches for 164 yards and three touchdowns on 25 targets during 2018.

Analysis: It's not a huge surprise that Harris didn't rack up much in terms of stats during 2018 given the team's numerous offensive weapons, but he did manage to haul in a career-high total of touchdown passes. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so there is no guarantee Harris' home games will come at Arrowhead Stadium next season.

Makes small mark on box score

Harris hauled in all three of his targets for 28 yards Sunday against the Ravens.

Analysis: Harris' status was in question entering Sunday, but he was ultimately cleared to suit up. The second-string tight end proceeded to post his second straight multi-catch week after recording just one during the team's first 11 games. Harris remains on hand as the next man up at the position should starter Travis Kelce be sidelined for some reason.

Cleared to play Week 14

Harris (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: The illness prevented Harris from practicing in any capacity Thursday and Friday, but he apparently made enough progress over the last 24 hours to gain clearance to play. Harris will slot in behind Travis Kelce as the Chiefs' backup tight end, but coach Andy Reid's offensive scheme frequently features both players on the field. After hauling in three of his season-high six targets for 39 yards in the Week 13 win over the Raiders, Harris could see a similar level of involvement Sunday with Sammy…read more

Should be available Sunday

Harris (illness/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Analysis: Harris was withheld from practices Thursday and Friday, with the illness seemingly the greater concern of the two issues at this point. Per Brooke Pryor of The Kansas City Star, coach Andy Reid said after the team's final practice of the week that he expects Harris to be ready to go Sunday barring a setback in his recovery, so the tight end ultimately should be available. Though Travis Kelce tops the depth chart at his position, the Chiefs often deploy two tight-end formations featuring Harris,…read more

Absent from practice

Harris (illness) is not participating in Thursday's practice, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Analysis: Harris is coming off a strong performance, where he caught three passes for 39 yards and a touchdown against the Raiders. It's unclear how serious the illness is for Harris, but it will be important to monitor his practice availability leading up to Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Collects third receiving TD of 2018

Harris hauled in three of six targets, amassing 39 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 40-33 win against the Raiders.

Analysis: Harris has developed an appetite for the end zone in his fifth pro campaign, with three receiving touchdowns this year compared to three scores through his first 56 career games. The part-time tight end remains a deep-league dart throw, however, never exceeding 40 receiving yards while accounting for a touchdown in the same game this season, and only once (in Week 13) having racked up at least three catches in a single game. Next in Week 14 is a matchup against a Baltimore defense that's been…read more

Minimal impact in Week 11

Harris snared just one of his two targets for three yards Monday against the Rams.

Analysis: Harris was on the field for 54 percent of the team's offensive snaps Monday, but he remains well down the pecking order for targets. There's no reason to believe that will change in the coming weeks as long as Travis Kelce remains healthy.

Kept out of box score

Harris was not targeted during Sunday's game against the Browns.

Analysis: The second tight end in the Chiefs' pecking order, Harris was limited to just 20 offensive snaps during Sunday's contest. While he can find the end zone on occasion when in the red zone, Harris can't be relied upon to produce on a consistent basis.

Scores second TD of 2018

Harris reeled in one of his two targets for 17 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Bengals.

Analysis: Harris has made the occasional minor splash in the box score but owns no more than two catches to his name any given week. Unless Travis Kelce is unavailable for some reason, it's unlikely that will change moving forward.

Snares just one pass in Week 5

Harris hauled in one of his two targets for five yards Sunday against the Jaguars.

Analysis: Harris saw 41 percent of the offensive snaps during Sunday's contest, ranking behind numerous pass cachers on that front. Considering he owns just four grabs in four games played, there's no reason to consider him in the majority of fantasy leagues unless Travis Kelce is unavailable.

Season-high receiving yards

Harris hauled in two of his three targets for 59 yards Monday against the Broncos.

Analysis: The Chiefs have utilized far fewer two-tight-end sets this season with Patrick Mahomes under center than they have in years past with Alex Smith at the helm. Harris did play a season-high 31 offensive snaps Monday, but he remains off the fantasy radar in the vast majority of leagues. That could change if Travis Kelce winds up unavailable at some point.

Finds end zone

Harris converted three targets into one 13-yard touchdown catch during Sunday's 38-27 win over the 49ers.

Analysis: Harris slipped behind the San Francisco defense for touchdown in the back of the end zone midway through the second quarter. It was the veteran tight end's first catch of the season. Harris has been a solid receiver for Kansas City in recent seasons but is consistently overshadowed by star teammate Travis Kelce. He's probably not worth much attention from a fantasy perspective, but he could strike again as the red-hot Chiefs offense takes stage on Monday night against a Denver defense that has…read more

Reinstated from suspension

Harris was reinstated from his one-game suspension Monday, Howard Balzer of BalzerSports.com reports.

Analysis: Harris was forced to miss Week 1 after violating the league's substance abuse policy, but looks set to return to a passing offense that just put up four touchdowns against a tough Chargers front. He's a red-zone asset at 6-7 and proven to be one half of a dangerous tight end combination with Travis Kelce. Harris will look to make an impact against the Steelers in Week 2.

Harris was suspended for one game by the NFL on Tuesday for a violation of the league's substance abuse policy, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: The suspension stems from Harris pleading guilty to a charge of possession of marijuana, and the backup tight end will now have to wait until Week 2 to make his 2018 debut. In Harris' absence, either Tim Wright or Jace Amaro will most likely operate as the No. 2 tight end behind Travis Kelce in the Chiefs' season opener.

Harris wrapped up the 2017 regular season with three catches (four targets) for 73 yards Sunday against the Broncos. He completed the campaign with 18 total grabs for 224 yards and a score.

Analysis: Harris was more involved in the passing game during the last two weeks of the regular season, hauling in a combined seven passes on 11 targets. However, he remains a distant second to Travis Kelce on the depth chart and should serve in the same role for the Chiefs in 2018. He has proven a capable backup when given the opportunity, but there won't be much opportunity barring an injury to Kelce.

Harris will serve as the starting tight end with Travis Kelce inactive for Sunday's Week 17 tilt against the Broncos.

Analysis: The 26-year-old, who has 15 receptions (on 31 targets) for 151 yards and one touchdown through 15 games, will run with the first unit in Kelce's absence. Harris will see targets from the arm of rookie Patrick Mahomes, who'll be under center in place of Alex Smith against the Broncos. Given that the Chiefs will also be down wideout Tyreek Hill (coach's decision) in terms of pass catchers, Harris could make for an intriguing Hail Mary Week 17 option, especially in DFS contests.

Harris could see additional snaps during the team's regular-season finale Sunday against the Broncos, Blair Kerkhoff of The Kansas City Star reports.

Analysis: Harris was unusually active in the offense during Week 16, and it wouldn't be surprising if that is the case again in the regular-season finale, especially if Travis Kelce sits out Sunday as expected. Harris could sneak on to the daily fantasy radar as a red-zone threat for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and the Broncos struggle covering the tight end, according to Football Outsider's DVOA.

Harris caught four passes on seven targets for 34 yards Sunday against the Dolphins.

Analysis: Harris' seven targets Sunday marked the second most of his four-year career. It seems unlikely he will replicate that frequently in 2018 given that he had no more than three targets in a game this season prior, but Harris could have some added production in Week 17 if the Chiefs elect to give their starters a breather with the division locked up.
