Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Najee Harris expected to be utilized heavily in the run game
Najee Harris is expected to be heavily utilized in the run game after the Steelers’ offensive line additions this off-season. Though their passing game should improve on last year’s disappointing efforts, Pittsburgh is poised to “lean heavily on the ground game.”
Fantasy Impact
Harris is a bruising back who has made up for a lack of efficiency with a sheer volume of touches. He’s a back-end RB1 in fantasy based on his projected volume alone, but if he can increase his efficiency behind a revamped offensive line, he could easily reach the top tier of fantasy running backs.

Jameson Williams expected to see ‘a ton’ of reps in preseason
According to Eric Woodyard of ESPN, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said they will “douse [WR Jameson Williams] with a ton of game reps” in the 2023 preseason.
Fantasy Impact
Williams missed the 2022 preseason and the first 11 games of his NFL career due to an ACL tear in college at Alabama that sidelined him. In 2023, he will miss his first six games due to a violation of the league’s gambling policy. Because of his lack of in-game experience, his reps in the preseason will be important for getting Williams back into game speed. Williams played just 78 snaps in 2022, receiving nine targets – of which he hauled in just one for a 41-yard touchdown.

Odell Beckham Jr. solidifying himself as one of top wide receivers in camp
Odell Beckham Jr. has solidified himself alongside rookie Zay Flowers as the top two wide receivers in Baltimore this season.
Fantasy Impact
Flowers has reportedly been super impressive early in camp, while Beckham has held his own as well. He missed all of last season after tearing his ACL in the Super Bowl a couple of years ago with the Rams. Rashod Bateman remains on the PUP list for Baltimore.
