Najee Harris fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 3 (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 picked up where he left off in 2023, as a plodder handling a huge workload but failing to find much efficiency. He averaged 4.1 yards per carry in 2023 and has averaged 3.76 yards per carry through two games in 2024.

Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's offense is ridiculously run-heavy. Smith is content with grinding down the clock as much as possible, scoring in under 20 points, and giving the defense as much rest as possible to seal the win.
Smith, unfortunately, is one of those offensive play-callers who neuters the fantasy values of the offensive players on his team. No offensive player on the Steelers is particularly exciting as a start yet this season. Harris falls into this category.
Like this run from RB Najee Harris. Strong lower body to change directions like that, jumping left and right. Then the drive to finish the run. Looks more explosive and quicker this year after dropping some offseason weight. #Steelers pic.twitter.com/yglThXQCnM

Harris is a solid running back, but not a league-winner or even a week-winner by any means. He's one of the most boring players to have on your roster and doesn't have a particularly high ceiling, especially without rushing touchdowns. He belongs in starting lineups in deeper leagues for his consistency, though.
If you're in a league with 12+ teams, you're probably better off with him in your lineup. If not, leave him on the bench.
