BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: While Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris was kept out of the end zone by the vaunted Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 11, he still scored double-digit PPR fantasy points in that game, which was likely one of his toughest tests of the season.
Another narrative to blow up…Najee Harris “is a JAG.”

Despite his backup, Jaylen Warren, being healthy and active, Harris was targeted five times and caught four passes for 30 yards. Warren has typically been the pass-catching back, but Harris' involvement boosts his stock in PPR significantly. Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is bound to switch up these roles as the season goes on.
Still, No. 22 is the No. 22 RB in PPR (coincidentally), and he should be started in Week 12. The Cleveland Browns, their upcoming opponent, have a much softer run defense than the Ravens, and the Black and Gold Brigade should be able to gash it more easily. Even in higher-scoring games, Smith prefers to run the ball heavily, giving Harris great upside.
