FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – In the 2021 NFL season, many are expecting the New England Patriots to get back to their contending ways based on not just the active offseason they had, but also due to the progression of many of their player.
Two players in particular that are going to play key roles in this Patriots offense are running back, Damien Harris, and newly acquired tight end, Jonnu Smith. Online sportsbooks have parlayed odds for both Harris’s rushing yard total and Smith’s touchdown total.
Damien Harris Over 839.5 Rushing Yards + Jonnu Smith Over 4.5 TD
- Yes +275
Damien Harris was in a three-back committee along with Sony Michel and James White last season impacting his numbers from last year. With Sony Michel traded to the Rams, it leaves Harris as the lead running back far ahead of James White, who is mostly used as a receiving back.
Also, if Mac Jones takes the QB job from Cam Newton, it opens up even more room for Harris to gain yards without Newton's 592 rushing yards in 2020 accounted for.

It is surprising that Smith’s touchdown total is so low considering he scored eight touchdowns in 2020 while on the Tennessee Titans. Some might make the argument that Smith is sitting behind Hunter Henry on the depth chart, but Henry has never played a full 16-game season during his 4-year career.
Henry is also currently dealing with a shoulder that he suffered during NFL training camp that could keep him out for at least the first week of the season.
Smith is a premier threat in the red zone, leading all Titans' receivers with 12 targets last year. Smith will certainly get his red zone looks.
Samuel decided to get into writing 6 years ago when he first started his college career at Florida State University. After declaring a major in Editing, Writing and Media, Samuel had found his passion for writing. During his free time, he could be found writing about, watching or playing sports.
