Najee Harris in Weeks 6-8:
🔥 14-106-1
🔥 21-102-1

While Harris is the Steelers’ clear-cut No. 1 running back, Warren has a solid role behind the former Alabama star. Fantasy players can start him as a flex option in deeper leagues despite Harris’ outstanding play.
More importantly, Warren is a league winner if Harris misses time with an injury. Fantasy players with the veteran running back should make Warren their top priority off the waiver wire this week. Meanwhile, fantasy players in deeper leagues should add Warren as a flex option and an RB2 during the byes.
