Steelers Beat: Harris, McFarland will be one-two punch

In his '10 Takeaways' column, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic wrote that RBs Najee Harris and Anthony McFarland will be the team's one-two punch in the backfield. "McFarland has shown the most promise of all the competitors," Kaboly wrote. "He fits into Matt Canada’s scheme, which is a plus, and his running abilities are notably better than a year ago."

Kalen Ballage was mentioned as a similar runner as Harris.

Fantasy Impact: 

Two things to take from here. 1) McFarland will have a steady role as a pass catcher and runner. 2) If Harris were to be out for any amount of time, Ballage would likely take his role.

If you are of the handcuffing persuasion, Ballage is the Harris handcuff according to Kaboly.
