PIT RB Najee Harris - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Seattle Seahawks
Najee Harris tied his season-high with 19 carries. He ended up with 78 yards. But for the second week, he wasn't targeted in the passing game. Harris has had a better second half of the season even though he is still splitting time with Jaylen Warren.

Harris faces the Seahawks who are ranked 29th in aFPA to running backs. Expect another heavy workload for him so the numbers in standard leagues should help team managers in their playoff games. Start Harris as a RB3 or Flex for Week 17.

PIT RB Najee Harris - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Najee Harris had 12 carries for 33 yards last Sunday and although he continues to get playing time along with Jaylen Warren, he has slowed down the last couple weeks. Harris has been struggling with a knee issue, but is expected to play.

Next up is Cincinnati. The Bengals are ranked 13th in aFPA to running backs. Harris had 15 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown when the Steelers beat Cincy several weeks ago. However, Pittsburgh has not been running the ball as efficiently in recent weeks.

Start Harris as a low-end RB3 or Flex for Week 16. Unfortunately, we don't expect a repeat performance from the last Cincinnati game as the Steelers offense has been lost the last three weeks.

PIT RB Najee Harris - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Indianapolis Colts
Najee Harris got 15 touches again and the results were minimal with 48 total yards. Although he has had some decent fantasy games the second half of the season, the Steelers inefficient offense has held him back at times. But the coaching staff feels he still needs to get the ball.

Harris has a great matchup this week against the Colts who are ranked dead last in aFPA to running backs. The Steelers only have seven touchdowns in the last five games and that bring Harris' stock down. Start him for Week 15 because of the great matchup but only as a high-end RB3 or Flex.

PIT RB Najee Harris - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. New England Patriots
Najee Harris rushed 16 times for 63 yards and added two receptions for 14 yards last Sunday. The running back has been getting touches the last two weeks with the new offensive coordinator and even though he is splitting carries and playing time with Jaylen Warren, the Steelers are going run-heavy.

Harris faces the Patriots on Thursday and New England is ranked seventh in aFPA to running backs. The Pats defense has been good and it won't be easy for the Steelers to run the football, but volume should at least make Harris viable for the game.

Start Harris as a WR3 or Flex for Week 14. The offense will have a new quarterback and that could change the way the Steelers call the game, but Harris should still get 15 touches.

PIT RB Najee Harris - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Arizona Cardinals
If you thought Najee Harris was going to fade into oblivion with the emergence of Jaylen Warren, last week will give you pause. Harris rushed for 99 yards, his highest total of the season and he scored a touchdown for the third time in four games. It seems him and Warren will each get enough touches in this offense.

It's a great matchup for Week 13 as the Steelers play the Cardinals who are dead last in aFPA to running backs. Harris definitely ran hard last week and the Steelers offense eclipsed 400 yards for the first time since 2020 as they changed offensive coordinators.

Start Harris as a low-end RB2 or Flex for Week 13. We like the matchup plus what we saw last week from him.

PIT RB Najee Harris - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Cincinnati Bengals
No doubt that Najee Harris' fantasy stock is trending downward, but he still has value as the Steelers have finally committed to the run. Harris still had 12 carries for 35 yards and could stay in the 10-touch range. The problem all year has been production for him.

Bengals are up next and Harris had mixed results rushing against them last season with a 23-yard game and a 90-yard game. Cincy has been average against the run this season.

Keep Harris in your lineup but only as a low-end RB3 or Flex for Week 12. We will see how the new offensive coordinator for Pittsburgh uses him, but we expect him to still be part of the game plan.

PIT RB Najee Harris - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Cleveland Browns
Najee Harris has put up some good fantasy numbers in recent weeks. He rushed for 82 yards and added 14 receiving yards last Sunday. He also scored his third touchdown in the last four games. That's all good news for his managers. The bad news is Jaylen Warren was named the starter against Cleveland this week.

But don't go dropping Harris anytime soon. He and Warren were both very involved in the offense and that could be a trend moving forward. It won't be easy this week as the Steelers face the Browns who are ranked fourth in aFPA to running backs.

It's a tough matchup against Cleveland and Harris had only 33 rushing yards in the first meeting. Start him as a high-end RB3 or Flex this Sunday.
