Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Najee Harris

On Sunday, Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen had another quiet performance in the team's Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Allen finished with just four receptions for 41 yards, a far cry from the dynamic playmaker he was last season. Despite being targeted 8 times by quarterback Caleb Williams, Allen could not make a significant impact. That said, it was encouraging to see him come up clutch on a few vital third-down plays, proving he's still effective at getting open in critical situations. The recent coaching change, with Thomas Brown taking over as offensive coordinator, seems to have sparked some life in the Bears' offense, even if Allen's production didn't reflect that shift. The Bears won't have much time to regroup as they host the tough Minnesotabrutalngs at Soldier Field next Sunday. A challenging matchup against Brian Flores' defense awaits.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris was held to 41 rushing yards on 16 carries in a Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He hauled in both of his targets for an additional 13 yards through the air. For the first time since Week 5, Harris failed to score double-digit fantasy points as he found very little running room on Thursday night. Backfield mate Jaylen Warren was far more efficient and found the end zone in the contest. While it's highly unlikely Harris will lose his job at any point this season, it's certainly possible that he and Warren split touches fairly evenly going forward. This would make him a bit more difficult to trust for fantasy, especially if Pittsburgh's offense continues to struggle in the red zone. The 26-year-old will hope to bounce back in a slightly more appealing matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals next week.
