Najee Harris News
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris totaled 65 rushing yards on 19 carries in a Week 3 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Harris managed a few impressive runs but was ultimately inefficient once again. Although his usage on the ground was encouraging, Harris was mostly uninvolved in the passing game and was unable to secure his only target. Despite reports of Jaylen Warren earning more opportunities, Harris remained Pittsburgh's clear-cut RB1 on Sunday night. His fantasy output has been disappointing through three weeks, but there is reason to be optimistic as the Steelers' offense looked much improved this week. Harris will project as a solid RB2 option next week against the Houston Texans.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris continued to underwhelm in the Sunday night win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Harris was once again the clear backfield leader with a team-high 19 carries, but he gained only 65 yards (3.4 yards per tote) and failed to haul in his only target in the passing game. Pittsburgh's offense looked the best it has all year, which allowed them to get the 25-year-old a season-high in carries, but he didn't really do much at all with it. Jaylen Warren also touched the ball 11 times and isn't going away, so Harris is going to need to be much more efficient to reward his fantasy managers. Harris will be hoping to get into the end zone for the first time in a favorable Week 4 matchup against the Houston Texans.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has just 74 rushing yards through the first two weeks of the season and will hope to turn things around in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have given up the third-most fantasy points to running backs so far this season, allowing 183 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. Jaylen Warren has been involved, primarily as a pass-catcher, but the RB1 duties in Pittsburgh still clearly belong to Harris. It's difficult to rely on the Steelers' offense right now, but in this matchup, Harris can be started in fantasy lineups as a low-end RB2.

After finishing as a top-5 RB in his rookie season, Najee Harris barely cracked the top-15 in 2022. His rush attempts fell from 307 to 272 and his targets fell from 94 to just 53. The problem with the decreased volume is that Harris is reliant on the myriad of touches for his productivity. Through two seasons, he's averaging just 3.87 yards per carry. Additionally, his role in the receiving game decreased dramatically in his 2nd NFL season. He went from being first amongst all running backs...
