Well, now, if you’re sittin’ there wonderin’ whether you should start Najee Harris for your fantasy football team, I reckon you’ve come to the right place. You see, football, it ain’t just about how well a fella can run or how strong his legs are—no, it’s about makin’ the right choices, pickin’ the right players for your team each week. And when it comes to Najee Harris, it’s a bit of a pickle, I tell ya.
Now, don’t go thinkin’ just ‘cause he had a good rookie year, that it means he’s gonna be the same every year. That ain’t how it works. Football’s a tough game, and folks change. But let’s take a look at what’s goin’ on this week, and see if he’s worth puttin’ in your lineup, alright?
What’s the Deal with Najee Harris?
Najee Harris, well, he’s been in the league for a little while now, and folks have been talkin’ about him since that first big season. But this year, things ain’t been all sunshine and rainbows for ol’ Najee. He ain’t puttin’ up the numbers people expected, but he’s still a key player for the Pittsburgh Steelers. That means he gets the ball a lot, and when they’re near that goal line, he’s the fella they hand it off to.
Still, you gotta wonder, is he really worth starting this week? Well, let’s break it down.
- Touches and Opportunities: Now, Najee Harris still gets plenty of touches. Even when he ain’t doin’ great, the Steelers keep puttin’ him in there, so he’s got the chance to score points. This week, it looks like he’ll be gettin’ more than enough action, which is important in fantasy football.
- Goal-Line Work: This is where Najee shines. When they’re near the end zone, he’s the man they turn to. If he can punch one in this week, he’ll earn you some good points.
- Matchup: The team Najee’s up against this week? Well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. They’ve been decent at stoppin’ the run, but they ain’t unbeatable. If the Steelers can push the ball down the field, Najee could have a nice game.
What to Expect from Najee This Week?
Now, I ain’t gonna lie to ya—there’s a chance that Najee’s not gonna go out there and score a bunch of touchdowns. He’s been a bit quiet this season. But even with that, he’s still got that potential. If you’re in a deep league and need a steady player, Najee might just be the one to help you out. He’ll get some yards, maybe a touchdown or two, and he’ll do enough to help you win.
If you’re lookin’ for someone to put up big numbers, though, you might wanna think twice. Najee’s ceiling isn’t as high as it used to be, but he’s still a reliable option for a flex or a low-end RB2, especially if you don’t have a better choice.
What Should You Do?
If you’re real stuck on who to start—Najee or someone else—it depends on your other options. If you’ve got a solid backup, someone who’s been performin’ better than Najee lately, maybe give ’em the start. But if your team’s a little light in the backfield, Najee’s worth a shot. Just don’t expect him to carry your team to victory, but he could get you a handful of points, enough to make him a solid play for Week 10.
So, should you start Najee Harris? Well, I reckon it depends. If you need a safe play who’s gonna get you some carries and maybe fall into the end zone, he’s your man. But if you’re lookin’ for a high-flyin’ fantasy superstar, you might want to look elsewhere.
