The Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Najee Harris.

Should You Start or Sit Najee Harris in Week 13?
We entered this season with concerns about Najee Harris’ efficiency, and we fell for it. You and me both. We fell for three strong weeks, and I’m disappointed in us as a collective.
- Weeks 6-8: 25.2% over expectation, 16.7% stuff rate, and 20.4% explosive rate
- Weeks 10-12: 26.8% under expectation, 29.1% stuff rate, and 9.1% explosive rate
That’s not to say that he can’t be trusted in fantasy lineups. I still believe in the trajectory of this offense as a whole, and Harris finishing with at least 18 touches in five straight games holds significant value this time of year, but I think the week-winning upside that we had some access to earlier is gone.
The Bengals are a vulnerable defense as a whole, but running backs have produced 10.5% under expectations against them this season; with them coming off a bye, they figure to be as fresh as a team can be this time of year.
Proceed with caution, both for Week 13 and the rest of the way.
