The Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15. 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.
Is Najee Harris Playing in Week 15?
For the past few weeks, due to the rigors of the season, Harris has been getting Wednesdays off. That trend continued this week with Harris not practicing. He returned to his usual full practice on Thursday and Friday.
We’ll continue to monitor the Steelers’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Najee Harris in Week 15?
Harris has a rushing TD or 4+ targets in seven of his past eight games, and with the Steelers offense trending in a positive direction, that role is enough to lock him into lineups even with limited efficiency (season: 3.9 yards per carry).
Jaylen Warren is healthy but has yet to eat into Harris’ role in a significant way. Through six Pittsburgh drives last week, Harris had 103.1% of their RB rushing yards.
You read that correctly.
Harris is as good a bet for 15-17 carries and 2-4 targets as there is outside of the top tier at the position, and while the Eagles’ defense is moving in the right direction, Pittsburgh’s offense will be looking to drag out possessions. That puts Harris in a good spot to flirt with 20 touches again on Sunday.
