Najee Harris fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 8 (2024). Should you start or sit Najee Harris for fantasy football lineups in Week 8?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all formats unless elite RB options are available
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2 with upside
ANALYSIS: Harris has been hitting his stride of late, with two straight games of 100-plus rushing yards. He is likely a big benefactor of the team's switch to Russell Wilson at quarterback, as Russ's lack of mobility at age 35 will likely result in more check-downs to running backs and fewer scrambles than when Justin Fields was under center.

Harris has been a high-ceiling type of player for fantasy in 2024, seeing no less than 16 touches in any game thus far while Pittsburgh sits at a comfortable 5-2 on the season.
The Steelers are currently six-point favorites at home against the Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 8, which likely implies more favorable game scripts for Harris.
While there is still the threat of a now healthy Jaylen Warren stealing more snaps from Harris going forward, this week's outlook is a positive one against a Giants defense that seems to be holding on for dear life.
