Najee Harris Fantasy Football Outlook (ROS)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Mon, Dec 23rd 2024, 3:50pm EST

The Pittsburgh Steelers' rushing attack was led by Jaylen Warren, who carried the ball 12 times for 48 yards, averaging 4.0 yards per carry. Najee Harris contributed with 9 carries for 42 yards, averaging 4.7 yards per attempt.

Russell Wilson had 3 attempts, rushing for 27 yards, including a long of 19 yards, averaging 9.0 yards per carry. Cordarrelle Patterson had 1 rush for 12 yards.

Wilson has over 13 rushing yards in three straight games and four of his last five. Look for him to continue scrambling without his No. 1 WR.

Warren dominated the snaps in the backfield playing 67% of the snaps to Harris' 28%. They split carries four apiece in the first half, although Warren dominated the overall touches. Harris' 28% snap share was the lowest that he has played all season.

Warren has out-snapped Harris in three straight weeks. He also saw the red-zone work in Week 16.

Harris needs volume to get to 50-plus yards, and that might not be in store for the Steelers as they are underdogs up against a strong Chiefs run defense. 

The under has hit for RBs versus the Chiefs in 8 of their last 11 games
