Pittsburgh Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has scored as a top-12 fantasy option in each of his past two games and will hope to find continued success against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18. Baltimore's defense has been one of the best units in the NFL this season, but has been vulnerable to receivers recently and is expected to rest many of its starters on Saturday. Pickens has proven to be the favorite target of Mason Rudolph, who will get the start for a third consecutive week. With Pittsburgh battling for a spot in the playoffs, Pickens should be heavily utilized and viewed as a high-upside WR2 for fantasy managers.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) practiced in full on Thursday and is off the injury report ahead of a Week 18 divisional clash with the Baltimore Ravens. Harris has excelled over the past two weeks, finding the end zone three times and averaging exactly 100 rushing yards per contest. Although Baltimore's defense has been solid against the run this season, the Ravens are expected to rest many of their starters after clinching the top seed in the AFC last week. The Steelers, on the other hand, will be fighting for their playoff lives on Saturday, so Harris should remain plenty involved. Fantasy managers can consider the third-year pro a solid RB3 or flex option in starting lineups.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has had a very productive fantasy season, averaging just under 20 points per game. The Ohio State alum has scored at least 20 points in six of his last eight games, with the two misses coming against top 10 defenses in Cleveland and Minnesota. With the Bears in line to have the number one pick, Fields needs to have a good game if he wants to ensure the team opts to build around him instead of getting a new quarterback on a rookie deal. The Bears take on the Packers in the final game of the season, who allow the 20th-most points per game to quarterbacks this season. Back in their Week 1 matchup, Fields finished with just under 16 fantasy points on 275 total yards and a touchdown. The Packers rank 28th in defensive DVOA this year, and Fields has scored at least 20 points in every game against a bottom-10 DVOA defense except Week 1. He ranks as a strong QB1 option for Week 18.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) was downgraded to a non-participant in practice on Wednesday a day after he was listed as limited in a walkthrough. Harris followed a similar routine for practice last week but ended up playing in the Week 17 win over the Seattle Seahawks, rushing for 122 yards and two touchdowns. As long as Harris returns to practice on Thursday, he should be good to play in Saturday's must-win divisional clash against the Baltimore Ravens. The 25-year-old is still losing valuable touches to backfield mate Jaylen Warren, but Harris has looked better of late and will at least be an upside RB3/flex play for fantasy managers against a Ravens defense that could be resting several key starters in a meaningless game for them as they rest up for the playoffs.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) was listed as limited for the team's estimated walkthrough practice on Tuesday. Harris has been managing a knee issue for the last five weeks but he hasn't missed any time and will be ready to go for Saturday's must-win game against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. The matchup isn't a great one for Harris, but Baltimore could be resting a lot of their best players in this one. The 25-year-old RB continues to lose valuable touches to fellow backfield mate Jaylen Warren, but it hasn't stopped him from being very productive in the last two weeks for fantasy managers, carrying the ball 46 times for 200 yards and three touchdowns in wins over the Cincinnati Bengals and Seattle Seahawks. Harris will have RB2 upside in the Week 18 regular season finale.
