Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. Harris has been rested early in the week since Week 14 due to a knee injury, but he hasn't missed any time and has looked the best he has all year heading into the postseason. In the last three games, Harris has 72 rushing attempts for 312 yards (4.33 yards per carry) and four touchdowns, adding five catches for an additional 21 yards. He'll be facing a Buffalo Bills defense on the road that has allowed the fourth-fewest half-PPR points to opposing RBs in the last five weeks, though, and backfield mate Jaylen Warren will continue to take valuable touches away from Harris. It's why he's listed at only $5,400 at DraftKings, which ranks 14th at his position.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris handled 26 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 18 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He also secured all five of his targets for 21 receiving yards. Harris was dominant on Saturday, frequently running with power and appearing increasingly difficult to bring down as the contest continued. His six-yard score in the first quarter marked his fourth trip to the end zone over the past three weeks and his five receptions were his most since Week 8. Given the weather conditions in Baltimore, the Steelers leaned heavily on the run, and the former first-round pick delivered. Harris will hope to make an impact in the AFC playoffs, but Pittsburgh's postseason fate is yet to be determined.
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.
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.
