Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was on The Pivot podcast recently where he was asked about second-year running back Najee Harris. In his interview he was quoted saying “He’s gonna have to be a bell cow for us.”
Fantasy Impact: After reports came out saying that Harris would be taking a more limited role in the Steelers offense in 2022, there was concern because his fantasy prowess from a year ago was mainly due to his opportunities. The efficiency numbers were severely lacking for Harris to the tune of 3.9 yards per carry, which was fourth worst among running backs with 200+ carries. The Steelers offensive line was improved upon in the offseason, and if Harris sees any number of touches near his league-leading 381 from a year ago he should be extremely productive for fantasy managers once again in 2022. Harris is being drafted at the RB5 in full-PPR formats and this news only raises his ceiling even more.
