Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris managed just 14 rushing yards on six carries and hauled in his only target for a seven-yard gain in a 27-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Although fantasy managers cannot be pleased with this performance, Harris' output would have been even worse had he been credited with a lost fumble on a dropped toss from quarterback Russell Wilson. This turnover, which occurred in Philadelphia territory, arguably cost the Steelers the game as they trailed by just one touchdown in the third quarter before coughing the ball up. Harris' lack of touches can mostly be attributed to the fact that Pittsburgh never led on the scoreboard and only possessed the ball twice in the second half. Unfortunately, Harris has another difficult matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has had to overcome a few difficult matchups this season and will once again have his work cut out for him in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles limit opposing offenses to the eighth-fewest rushing yards and hold running backs to the fourth-fewest fantasy points. That said, Philadelphia has allowed a running back to score on the ground in three of its last four contests. Harris is averaging over 20 touches per game and should be a focal point of Pittsburgh's offensive attack on Sunday, especially with George Pickens (hamstring) out of the lineup. Fantasy managers should not expect a massive performance from Harris but can still count on him as a volume-based low-end RB2 this week.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris handled 16 carries for 53 yards and a touchdown in a Week 14 win against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. Harris was a focal point of Pittsburgh's offense early in the first quarter, gaining 32 yards through its first two possessions. Although he was surprisingly quiet for much of the rest of the contest, he punched the ball into the end zone for a one-yard score in the second quarter to give the Steelers a 10-7 lead. He was not utilized as a pass-catcher on Sunday after hauling in six receptions last week. Regardless, Harris has been a steady contributor for fantasy and continues to receive a heavy workload on the ground. A difficult matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles awaits in Week 15.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris had his best fantasy outing of the season in Week 13 and will look to keep rolling against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Harris was ineffective against this Browns' defense two weeks ago, but he remained a focal point of the offense with 18 opportunities. Even if Jaylen Warren mixes in for additional work, Harris should be a lock for at least 15 touches, a number he has surpassed in every contest this year. Although Cleveland has been solid against the run in 2024, the Browns are giving up a lot of points and are tied for the fifth-most rushing touchdowns surrendered to running backs. Fantasy managers can continue to rely on Harris as a volume-based RB2 with a good shot of finding the end zone in Week 14.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris handled 16 carries for 75 yards and a touchdown while catching all six of his targets for 54 yards in a Week 13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Harris, who struggled mightily against the Cleveland Browns and played on fewer snaps than Jaylen Warren last week, dominated opportunities in Pittsburgh's backfield and bounced back in a big way on Sunday. His six receptions were his most since Week 4 as quarterback Russell Wilson targeted him early and often. He seemingly injured his leg on the Steelers' second possession of the contest but quickly returned to score from 10 yards out in the second quarter. The fourth-year pro will look to keep trending positively in another meeting with the Browns next week.
