Najee Harris Picks Up DNP To Start The Week

Najee Harris Picks Up DNP To Start The Week

11 months ago

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) was listed as a non-participant in the team's first practice of the week on Tuesday. It's most likely that the Steelers are just giving Harris a maintenance day on Tuesday after he played through his knee injury the last two weeks. As long as he returns to the practice field on Wednesday, fantasy managers should feel pretty comfortable that he'll be active on Saturday to face the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. The 25-year-old should be active this weekend and has an excellent matchup against a soft Bengals run D, but he's become a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in fantasy with Jaylen Warren continuing to steal valuable touches out of Pittsburgh's backfield. The Steelers also have one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the league, so the volume just isn't there for Harris.
