BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris could see a slight uptick in carries in the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons with teammate Jaylen Warren (hamstring) dealing with a hamstring injury. This makes Harris a safe RB2 play.
Last season, both Harris and Warren split backfield duties in the Steel City and fantasy managers should expect a similar outcome once again in 2024. However, with Warren slightly banged up, he could be eased into action and not deployed on every passing situation on Sunday as he was last year.
imo this is the best that Najee Harris has looked as a pro.

In 2023, Harris posted his third-straight 1,000-yard campaign with a career-high eight rushing touchdowns. Through the air, he caught just 29 passes for 170 yards.
Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting Harris as their RB2 given his high floor and elite potential to see heavy goal-line work as he saw 37 carries within the 10-yard last season compared to Warren's mere 15 attempts.
