BALLER MOVE: Start In All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: The consensus is that George Pickens has benefitted the most from Pittsburgh's move from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson. Najee Harris has a compelling case.
The former Pro Bowl running back has three straight 100-yard games, the last two with Wilson under center. The downfield passing threat is opening more holes for Harris on the ground.
Najee Harris in Weeks 6-8:

Granted, his season-high 114-yard effort in Week 8 came against the Giants. New York's defense surrenders 5.2 yards per carry, the most in the league. It's another soft matchup on tap for Harris this week. Washington is second in that metric at 5.1 yards per carry.
Although he doesn't add much in the passing game, especially with a healthy Jaylen Warren back in the lineup, Harris provides a safe floor on volume alone. He should be locked into all non-PPR lineups and most, if not all, PPR lineups.
