BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: When the going is rough, all that's needed is a cupcake matchup to buck the trend.
Najee Harris is the RB31 in PPR formats through three weeks, topping double digits just once. Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson have been involved, limiting Harris' participation in the passing game. It wasn't until Warren suffered a knee injury that Harris earned more targets. He caught five passes in Week 3. Warren won't play against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Lead running backs against the Colts have run for 159 yards (Joe Mixon), 151 yards (Josh Jacobs), and...well...let's not worry about what D'Andre Swift did. Teams that can run the ball will do so effectively against Indianapolis. They still allow the most rushing yards per game. The Steelers run at the third-highest rate in the NFL.
Harris should be considered an RB2 for this weekend's matchup, especially with Warren out of the lineup. Despite the low-scoring Pittsburgh offense, this is Harris' best shot at his first touchdown.
