Najee Harris fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 5 (2024). Should you start or sit Najee Harris for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is the least exciting player to start in fantasy football who can still get you some points. He averages just 3.35 yards per carry on the season, but Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith doesn't care. He will use his run-heavy scheme as long as he has a job in the league.
Harris has 78 touches through four games, which is legitimate workhorse usage. He hasn't been efficient, but the volume has led to mediocre fantasy numbers. He's the RB30 in full-PPR scoring. The talent doesn't seem to be there, but it doesn't matter.

He'll get you between 7-15 points, and there are better options out there, but the floor seems extremely safe. The Cowboys haven't had the greatest overall defense, so he should have some room to run.
Fellow running backs Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson didn't practice Thursday and their status is in question for Week 5 as well, so Harris could have a safe, high workload. He's hardly a must-start, though.
