Harris logged eight snaps on offense in Thursday's 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles, NESN's Zack Cox reports.
It's not a surprise that Harris -- the Patriots' presumed top back -- and pass-catching ace James White (five snaps) saw limited touches Thursday, given their solid roster standing. In that context, Sony Michel, Rhamondre Stevenson and J.J. Taylor logged the bulk of rushing opportunities versus the Eagles, as they jostle for slotting on the team's depth chart. While Harris continues to profile as the New England back to target earliest in fantasy drafts, the team's deep backfield could lead to a regular-season scenario in which Harris' week-to-week workload varies due to game flow and opponent-specific game scripts.
