Steelers running back Najee Harris has had a peculiar beginning to his NFL vocation. Since being drafted 24th by and large in the 2021 NFL Draft, he’s done third and fourteenth in PPR scoring in Fantasy, but most Fantasy Football examiners (and likely most players, as well) view him as a really huge frustration.
Or on the other hand, perhaps that is not the correct method for expressing it. Harris has, generally, satisfied hopes in Fantasy Football. The issue is, he simply hasn’t appeared to be an especially decent genuine NFL running back. Since his presentation, he positions 26th among 26 running backs with no less than 300 conveys in yards for every convey; among 117 players with somewhere around 100 targets, he positions 116th in yards per target.
Playing behind permeable hostile lines in stale offenses hasn’t helped, however that didn’t appear to dial Jaylen Warren back. Warren, an undrafted free specialist from last year’s class, found the middle value of 4.9 yards per convey last season, in excess of a yard better than Harris’ normal; he likewise outmaneuvered Harris in yards per focus by more than two with his 6.5 normal. He did those on essentially more modest responsibilities, clearly, however it’s brought up the issue: Is Najee Harris even the best running back on his own group?
Warren’s 62-yard score run in last week’s preseason game took that inquiry back to the light, and I recorded Harris as a washout emerging from the season preseason game, to a great extent because of those worries. Furthermore, despite the fact that Steelers hostile organizer Matt Canada “unequivocally” named Harris the RB1 for the Steelers lately, it’s difficult to tell the amount to trust that. The Steelers have season finisher goals, and will they truly keep on giving huge work to the most un-useful running back on their program?
In the event that they do, Harris is presumably going to turn out to be a fringe RB1 in Fantasy this season as a matter of course, very much like he was last season. In any case, assuming that Warren’s job keeps on developing, things could get monstrous rapidly for Harris, since he simply hasn’t shown the enormous play capacity you’d need to see to compensate for any lost volume – Harris has only seven conveys of at least 20 yards on almost 600 endeavors in his NFL vocation.
Harris keeps on moving down for me, and I dropped him to RB20 in my most recent rankings update, which you can see beneath. I’m not extending Warren to take over as the starter, yet I truly do think the possibilities of that occurrence sooner or later proceed to rise, and Warren has now entered the RB3/4 territory for me. I don’t think Warren will be a sure thing beginning RB in Fantasy by Week 1, yet he could arrive by Week 10. It’s not really the likeliest result for the Steelers backfield, however it’s turned into a genuine chance.
