Latest news

Steelers RB Najee Harris (arm) expected to be fine

Jordan Schultz on X

Sources: Steelers RB Najee Harris is expected to be fine and is likely to be ready for Sunday’s game vs the Colts.

Related players: Jaylen Warren, Cordarrelle Patterson

Fantasy Impact:

Reports said Harris was seen in the locker room with a sling on his right arm on Monday. However, there doesn't seem to be any concern. We reported Monday that Warren was getting an MRI on his knee, however there has been no word about the results. If Warren can't go, look for Patterson to be more involved.

Steeler RBs banged up after Week 3

Najee Harris had a sling on his right arm in the Steelers locker room today.

Jaylen Warren is getting an MRI on his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

There hasn't been word yet about how significant the injuries to Harris and Warren are, but at this point it's not great news. Patterson likely wouldn't carry a workload which leaves Shampkin and Ward, who are both on the team's practice squad. This could be a situation to watch closely as we go through the week. The Steelers play at the Colts in an early Sunday game in Week 4.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) expects to play Week 1

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) said he did individuals and special teams work in practice today, and he anticipates joining team periods on Wednesday.

He said he'll be good to go for the season opener Sunday.

Related players: Najee Harris

Fantasy Impact:

Warren should find himself complementing Harris, taking on change of pace and third down and passing duties. Warren (RB24) finished two spots ahead of Harris (RB26), and if we just look at the back half of the season, Warren was the fantasy RB19 from Week 10 to Week 18. His touches increased from 10.6 to 13.9 when comparing the first half of the season to the second half. That increased workload may or may not carry over now that there’s a new offensive coordinator (Arthur Smith) in town. Smith is known to use his players in frustrating ways from a fantasy perspective. Interestingly, Warren’s increased usage did not come at Harris’s expense. Harris saw his touches increase from 14.4 to 18.8 from the first half to the second half of the season. (Harris/Warren combined to average 25.0 touches from Week 1 to Week 8 compared to 32.7 touches from Week 9 to Week 18, so Pittsburgh was much more RB-oriented in the back half of the season.) The Steelers figure to be very run-heavy under Smith so there should be room for both Warren and Harris in 15+ touch roles.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) expects to play Week 1

Jaylen Warren says he expects to play Week 1 against the Falcons.

Related players: Najee Harris, Cordarrelle Patterson

Fantasy Impact:

Warren says his hamstring is feeling much better. Owners will still want to hear this team from HC Mike Tomlin or from the team before counting on Warren in Week 1. However, it's good news he feels he's trending in the right direction. Warren should continue to have a role, but still share time with Harris in the Steelers offense. The addition of Patterson could complicate things in terms of fantasy, especially in terms of pass catching and third down work.
