Who Should I Start? Najee Harris or A.J. Dillon

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has failed to do much on the ground early in the season. In fact, Harris has yet to score a touchdown or top 65 rushing yards in a single game through three contests. It's also worth noting that Jaylen Warren continues to be involved in the backfield as well. That being said, Harris will need to pick up the slack or risk losing more snaps to Harris. Luckily, Harris does have a favorable matchup versus the Houston Texans in Week 4. A defensive unit that has given up a league-most seven rushing touchdowns this season. Fantasy managers can be hopeful that Harris will be able to provide RB2 value in this above average matchup.

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon will take on the division-rival Detroit Lions on Thursday night. The 25-year-old has been incredibly underwhelming to start the season despite not having Aaron Jones (hamstring) in the past two weeks. Jones has a shot to play this week after being listed as questionable on the final injury report. Typically, Dillon would be a potential flex option with Jones active in a matchup against Detroit. However, the Lions' defense against the run in 2023 has been great, allowing just 13 points per game to the position. Even if Jones sits, the Packers' No. 2 back has done nothing with his increased role to give fantasy managers confidence in flexing him. Dillon is an easy fade in Week 4.
