Najee Harris Fantasy

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (elbow), who was listed as questionable, doesn't carry an injury designation for the AFC Wild Card game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He was a full participant in Friday's practice and is all systems go for Sunday's contest. The 23-year-old rushed for 93 yards on 19 attempts while catching five of seven targets for 17 yards in the Week 16 loss to the Chiefs. Harris is the third-highest-priced running back on FanDuel at $8,000 and should see a heavy workload against a Kansas City defense that ranks 20th in rush DVOA. Fantasy managers playing this weekend's main DFS slate should expect the Steelers rookie to be heavily rostered in both cash and GPP contests.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Najee Harris (elbow) is officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs in the wild-card game despite putting in a full practice on Friday. Harris declined to answer questions about his availability for Sunday, but as long as he doesn't have a setback from Friday's practice, ESPN's Brooke Pryor thinks Harris will play. The 23-year-old missed the first two practices of the week and received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his elbow this week. Harris led all NFL players with 382 total touches during the regular season, but fantasy managers have to wonder how effective he'll be if he's able to play on Sunday. And at his DraftKings price of $6,500, which is tied for second-most expensive at RB, Harris comes with plenty of risk this weekend.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Najee Harris (elbow) is scheduled to return to practice on Friday, according to head coach Mike Tomlin, and that will be telling for Harris' availability for Sunday's wild-card game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Harris has missed the first two practices of the week after suffering an elbow injury in the Week 18 win over the Baltimore Ravens that caused him to play a season-low 53% of the offensive snaps. Harris will likely be limited in Friday's practice and will be listed as questionable for Sunday. The 23-year-old led the league with 381 touches as Pittsburgh's do-it-all back, but he could be limited against the Chiefs if he plays, which makes him a potential bust candidate at his current $6,500 salary on DraftKings, which is the third-highest salary among RBs. Benny Snell would take on the lead-back role if Harris cannot go.
