Najee Harris Quiet In Season Opener

Najee Harris Quiet In Season Opener

one year ago

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris handled six carries for 31 yards and added two yards on two receptions in the team's 30-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Outside of an impressive 24-yard run towards the end of the first half, Harris was relatively quiet. This was most likely due to the fact that Pittsburgh found itself trailing 20-0 quickly and subsequently attempted 46 passes. Both Jaylen Warren and Anthony McFarland Jr. mixed in for a few touches, but RB1 duties still clearly belong to Harris. Even if the Steelers are unable to take a noticeable step up on offense this season, brighter days should be ahead for the third-year back. Harris will look to bounce back as a fantasy RB2 next week against the Cleveland Browns.
