Najee Harris Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Steelers RB Najee Harris (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He twisted his ankle in the second half of last week's win over the Commanders but was eventually able to return. We're expecting him to play against the Ravens this weekend but will keep you posted on his status. Harris is no better than a RB3 this week against Baltimore's 11th-ranked RB defense.

Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll play vs. the Commanders on Sunday for the first time since Week 4. Patterson averaged 4.0 carries and 1.8 targets over the first four games of the season. He’s not a fantasy option but could put a slight dent in RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren’s volume.

Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed 19 times for 114 yards in Monday's win over the Giants. He caught 3 of 4 targets for 17 yards, a stat line that includes one drop.

Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday night's game vs. the Giants. He put in three limited practices this week but will now aim for a return after a Week 9 bye. RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren will continue to handle backfield touches for Pittsburgh on Monday night.

Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) got in a limited practice on Thursday. That gives him a chance to return for Monday night's game vs. the Giants. Patterson isn't a fantasy option, but he'd likely steal a few touches from RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.

Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed 21 times for 102 yards and 1 TD in a Week 7 win over the Jets. He’s now posted two straight games over 100 rushing yards for just the second time in his career.

Steelers RB Najee Harris (ribs) returned to a full practice on Thursday. He'll be ready for his usual role in Sunday night's game against the Jets.

Steelers RB Najee Harris (ribs) did not practice on Wednesday. He's coming off a 14-carry, 106-yard outing vs. the Raiders, and we're guessing this was more of a rest day than a legitimate injury. We'll see if Harris gets back on the practice field tomorrow, ahead of Sunday night's game vs. the Jets.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren was upgraded today and now has no injury designation for Week 6 against the Raiders. Warren has dealt with hamstring and knee injuries during the offseason and season so far. He could see a prominent role in the Steelers' run game with Najee Harris being ineffective so far this year.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Raiders. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, which seemingly puts him on track to play, despite HC Mike Tomlin labeling him doubtful early in the week. Warren would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups in his first action since Week 3, but his return puts a significant dent in RB Najee Harris’ workload projection.

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin ruled RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) out and labeled RB Jaylen Warren (knee) doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. Making those proclamations so early in the week doesn't bode well for either guy's availability for Week 7. The Steelers have a Week 9 bye, and it's possible we don't see either guy before then. RB Najee Harris will again dominate backfield touches for Pittsburgh this weekend. He's tallied 27 carries and eight targets over the last two weeks, although it hasn't resulted in many fantasy points.

Steelers RBs Jaylen Warren (knee) and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) are out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. Both missed practice all week. Their absences leave Aaron Shampklin as Pittsburgh’s No. 2 RB. Najee Harris should handle a heavy workload against Dallas.

Steelers RBs Jaylen Warren (knee) and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) were held out of Wednesday's practice. They're both iffy for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys. If they miss, Pittsburgh would be down to Aaron Shampklin as the No. 2 RB behind Najee Harris. Expect Harris to be very busy in that case.

Steelers RB Najee Harris managed only 19 yards on 13 carries in Sunday's loss to the Colts. Although the final found Pittsburgh just 3 points behind, Indianapolis jumped out to a 17-0 lead before 3 minutes were gone in the second quarter. That helped Harris log just 6 first-half carries (for 5 yards). The RB boosted his fantasy line a bit with 54 yards on 3 receptions. His 6 targets ranked third on the team, behind George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. We still don’t have any details on his injury or a timeline for his return. Warren’s absence should leave RB Najee Harris in a workhorse role this weekend. RB Cordarrelle Patterson figures to mix in for a handful of touches as the No. 2.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Mike Tomlin said earlier this week that he expected Warren to be limited today. We're tentatively projecting him to miss Sunday's game vs. the Colts. RB Najee Harris didn't practice on Wednesday but is listed with "rest." He'll be ready for this weekend's game and will be busy if Warren sits.

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that RB Najee Harris won't have any limitations in practice this week. Harris' arm was in a sling following the Week 3 win over the Chargers, but he'll be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Colts. Harris might play a bigger role than usual because RB Jaylen Warren's availability for that one is in question, according to Tomlin. Warren was scheduled for an MRI on an injured knee, but we still haven't heard the results. Fantasy owners should not be planning on using him in Week 4 lineups.

Steelers RB Najee Harris' right arm was in a sling on Monday, while RB Jaylen Warren is scheduled for an MRI on his knee, according to PennLive's Nick Farabaugh. We should get updates on both guys within the next 24 hours. Cordarrelle Patterson is the top healthy RB in Pittsburgh right now and could be worth a speculative add in deeper leagues. Pittsburgh has RBs Jonathan Ward and Aaron Shampklin on the practice squad. Week 4 brings a plus matchup against the Colts.

Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed 18 times for 70 yards in a Week 3 win over the Chargers. Harris entered halftime with only 3 rushing yards.
