Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler was productive in his limited workload in their victory over the Chicago Bears. Ekeler tallied an impressive 52 yards on seven attempts (7.4 yards per carry). He caught two of his three targets for six yards. After totaling double-digit PPR points in each of his first five games, Ekeler has now fallen under that mark in back-to-back outings. The Washington offense struggled to convert in the red zone, limiting the 29-year-old's opportunities for valuable touches. Nonetheless, fantasy managers should continue to view Ekeler as a low-end flex option, as he will continue to serve as a change-of-pace option in the Washington backfield.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris turned 19 carries into 114 yards and four targets into three receptions for 17 yards in a Week 8 victory over the New York Giants. Harris looked superb on Monday night and set the tone for Pittsburgh early with nearly 60 rushing yards in the first quarter alone. He continued splitting opportunities with Jaylen Warren, but the Steelers have no reason to go away from Harris when he runs this efficiently. After a quiet start to the campaign, the 26-year-old now ranks sixth in the NFL in rushing yards and is the fantasy RB7 since Week 6. Harris and the 6-2 Steelers will now head into a Week 9 bye with a matchup against the Washington Commanders awaiting in Week 10.
