Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Harris didn't practice to open the week, but appears ready to go after getting in a full practice on Thursday and Friday. The expectation is that Harris will continue seeing a heavy workload this weekend. He has seen 19 carries or more over each of the last three games. Harris rushed for over 100 yards in two of those games, so fantasy managers should continue to lean on him going forward.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (ankle) returned to the team's practice and was a full-go on Thursday and looked to be just fine while running the football. Harris apparently picked up an ankle injury in the Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday and was held out of the first practice of the week on Wednesday. It appears the Steelers were just giving the 26-year-old a day of rest on Wednesday, and he should be all systems go for Sunday's big divisional clash against the Baltimore Ravens. Jaylen Warren (back) didn't practice on Thursday and could be in danger of missing this weekend's game, which would give Harris even more fantasy upside as an RB2. The Ravens defense hasn't been the greatest matchup for RBs from a fantasy perspective this year, but Harris should see enough volume to keep him on the RB2 map.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. Fantasy managers should continue to pay close attention to his status throughout the week, as he could be in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens if he misses another session. Last weekend in their victory over the Washington Commanders, Harris eclipsed double-digit PPR points for the fourth straight contest. Through nine games this season, the Alabama product has averaged 71.7 yards per game with 17.4 attempts and 2.7 targets per game. Fantasy managers should view Harris as a solid RB2 heading into a divisional tilt against the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed the eighth-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (ankle) is dealing with an ankle issue but should be good to play in the Week 11 divisional showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Harris is held out of a practice or two or is limited all week, but all signs point to him being available as Pittsburgh's lead back this weekend. The 26-year-old apparently picked up the ankle injury in the one-point win over the Washington Commanders in Week 10, where he had a season-high 21 carries for 53 yards and a touchdown. If his ankle is still bothering him on Sunday, Jaylen Warren could see a bigger workload as the change-of-pace back. Harris has averaged a career-high-tying 4.1 yards per carry and is averaging 11.8 half-PPR points per game in 2024, which ranks 28th among all RBs through 10 weeks.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris handled 21 carries for 53 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 10 win against the Washington Commanders. Harris was a non-factor in the passing game and turned in his least efficient showing since Week 4. A one-yard score in the third quarter salvaged Harris' fantasy output, but he could cede additional opportunities to Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson in the coming weeks if he continues to struggle on the ground. A tough test is on tap for Week 11 against a stout Baltimore Ravens run defense.
