Whether you love them or hate them, there’s no denying that Patriots fans are passionate about their football team.
Earlier this week, FanDuel released its power rankings for starting running backs in the AFC. Jonathan Taylor, Derrick Henry and Nick Chubb were ranked in the top three – and rightfully so.
The biggest issue with this list is that Patriots running back Damien Harris is ranked 15th. That seems a bit harsh for a player who had 929 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns this past season.
Once these power rankings went public on Twitter, countless Patriots fans questioned Harris’ ranking.
“Damien Harris is 10th in yards in the NFL,” an NFL fan said. “Second in rushing TDs and averaged sixth in YPC among backs w/ over 200 carries. But yeah I’m sure he’s the second-worst starting back in the AFC.”

“Harris is better than Devin Singletary, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Travis Etienne, Michael Carter, JK Dobbins, Javonte Williams and Josh Jacobs,” a second fan said.

“The disrespect on Damien Harris is crazy,” another fan wrote.

There are a lot of talented running backs in the AFC, and Harris is absolutely one of them.
We’ll see if Harris can take his game to the next level this fall.
