Steelers | Najee Harris hit early during runs Tue Feb 27, 12:56 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris averaged only 1.6 yards before contact this past season.
| Footballguys view: The number ranks 46th in the league. Yeah, that's not good Bob. The Steelers need to do a better job of getting Harris (and Jaylen Warren) more running room. That could happen organically if they got better play from their quarterback, forcing defenders to give the team some space up front. |

Steelers | Najee Harris expected to play Fri Jan 12, 03:19 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 12, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Harris will be out there for the Steelers to help their rushing attack. Against the Bills, the Steelers may want to play "keep away" from Josh Allen and company. Plus, they'll want to keep things simple for Mason Rudolph. That means the rushing attack (including Harris) could have large roles on Sunday. |

| Footballguys view: After multiple items had Jaylen Warren moving ahead of Harris this week, Harris was the better back, and he got to finish Warren's best drive of the day with a touchdown. Harris is back to being a fantasy RB2 with the Steelers offense clearly more capable with Matt Canada ousted from the offensive coordinator position. |

Steelers | Jaylen Warren, Najee Harris breaking tackles at a high clip Wed Nov 15, 03:11 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren leads all qualified rushers with a broken tackle every 6.5 rush attempts in 2023, according to Pro Football Reference. Interestingly, teammate Najee Harris ranks third at 7.7.
| Footballguys view: Warren is now the starter, but Harris gets plenty of work in the backfield as well. They both run with swiftness and power, which makes them tough to bring down. With OC Matt Canada running one of the most boring offenses in the league (even Ken Dorsey thinks he needs to change things up), expect the Steelers to keep plugging away with these two big backs. |

Steelers | Jaylen Warren named as the starter Tue Nov 14, 01:19 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren told reporters on Monday, Nov. 13, that head coach Mike Tomlin told him he would start over Najee Harris the night before the team's Week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers.'He did kind of mention the night before that whatever had transpired throughout the team, he was saying that he was going to announce me and that I'm deserving of it,' Warren said.
| Footballguys view: This is a change many thought would happen as Warren has been the better back. Now, Harris is incredibly talented as well and he will still have a sizable role in this offense. For now, Warren leads the RBBC but as we saw in Week 10 it could be near a 50-50 split no matter who is starting. |

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed for 82 yards and one touchdown on 16 carries against the Green Bay Packers in Week 10. He also caught three passes for 14 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Harris has scored in three of the last four weeks and he is benefiting from the Steelers being able to stay in hyperconservative mode on offense against mediocre opponents. He was held in check for 43 total yards against the Browns in the first meeting, so temper expectations for Week 11. |

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed 16 times for 69 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for seven yards in a 20-16 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Harris was reasonably efficient against a tough run defense and scored early to justify any RB2/Flex starts this week. With the Steelers offense at least having a pulse, he should stay in lineups as the more likely touchdown scorer in the Steelers backfield committee. |

Steelers | Pittsburgh RBs having a rough time Thu Nov 2, 12:19 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren have combined for all 129 carries out of the backfield for the team, with a league-high 28 percent of the runs going for zero or negative yards.
| Footballguys view: We blame Canada....Steelers OC Matt Canada that is. The Steelers' offense is so boring and predictable that even former Ravens OC Greg Roman thinks they need to change things up. Unless Canada gets more creative, the Steelers' offense will continue to underperform and disappoint. |

| Footballguys view: Harris is doing his best to make the most of the situation. He's still working in an RBBC with Jaylen Warren, but Harris is the clear lead back. From a fantasy perspective, Harris is an RB2/flex play on a weekly basis. |

Pittsburgh Steelers OT Dan Moore Jr. (knee), TE Pat Freiermuth (hamstring), DE DeMarvin Leal (concussion), OG James Daniels (groin) and P Pressley Harvin III (hamstring) did not practice on Friday, Oct. 6, and have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens. LB Alex Highsmith (groin) was upgraded to limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable. RB Najee Harris (hamstring) was added to the injury report following a limited practice on Friday but is expected to play.

CB Patrick Peterson (rest) and OG Isaac Seumalo (elbow) were not given practice designations for a second straight day on Friday but are also expected to play.
| Footballguys view: Pickett will start, but it's hard to know if that's good news. The offensive line will be missing two starters and their starting tight end, so the rookie combo of Darnell Washington and Broderick Jones will be lining up next to each other like they did at Georgia. There's not a clear startable player in this offense, but you might have to start one anyway with four teams on bye. |
