Najee Harris

The Pittsburgh Steelers running back took a slight step backward in his second season, falling to RB14 in points per game after a top-5 fantasy season as a rookie. However, his usage metrics were still very strong across the board. Harris still operated as a pseudo-workhorse ranking 6th in opportunity share (70%) and 8th in total touches through the first 17 weeks of the season. Harris also improved drastically after the team's bye week operating as the RB7 in points per game over the last 9 weeks of the season. After tallying zero games with 20 carries through the first 8 weeks, Harris totaled 5 games with 20-plus carries during the second half of 2022. Should the Steelers undergo an offensive surge in Kenny Pickett's second season, Harris could easily get back into the top-tier fantasy RB tier.

Najee Harris carried the ball 22 times for 111 yards and caught two of his three targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in a 16-13 win over the Ravens in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact

Harris caught the game-winning touchdown with 62 seconds left in the fourth quarter. His 111 rushing yards were a season-high and his first 100-yard game all year. Sitting at nine all-purpose touchdowns, Harris will be a high-end RB2 against the Browns in Week 18.
