Who Should I Start? Damien Harris or Najee Harris

Friday, September 22, 2:24 PM

Running back Damien Harris managed to find the end zone amid Week 2's smackdown of the Las Vegas Raiders for the first touchdown of his Buffalo Bills career. The 26-year-old finds himself in an intimidating matchup on deck against the Washington Commanders' stud nose-tackle combination of Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne. Harris has played behind Latavius Murray for scraps behind lead back James Cook in the opening two weeks, so fantasy managers would really be grasping at straws by inserting Harris into Week 3 lineups. Murray has siphoned five of Buffalo's nine red-zone touches among the three RBs. The power back, Harris, is at least a better bet to hit paydirt than Cook after out-touching him in the red zone 4-0 to this point. Harris probably needs Sunday's meeting to get out of hand in favor of Buffalo to return value as a TD-or-bust RB4/FLEX.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris totaled 65 rushing yards on 19 carries in a Week 3 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Harris managed a few impressive runs but was ultimately inefficient once again. Although his usage on the ground was encouraging, Harris was mostly uninvolved in the passing game and was unable to secure his only target. Despite reports of Jaylen Warren earning more opportunities, Harris remained Pittsburgh's clear-cut RB1 on Sunday night. His fantasy output has been disappointing through three weeks, but there is reason to be optimistic as the Steelers' offense looked much improved this week. Harris will project as a solid RB2 option next week against the Houston Texans.
