Najee Harris Bottled Up Against Browns

Friday, November 22, 10:47 AM

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.

Brian Robinson Jr. Viewed As High-End RB2 Facing Dallas

Friday, November 22, 5:33 PM

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. returned to action last Thursday and found the end zone for the seventh time this season and should be in a great position to stay hot facing the Dallas Cowboys. Throughout the season, Robinson has failed to score double-digit PPR points in just one game and is averaging a solid 65.5 rushing yards per game. In addition, he has continued to be deployed as the de facto red zone option out of the backfield, which has set him up for great scoring opportunities. Facing the Cowboys, who have allowed the 30th-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season, suggests Robinson could be in store for another solid showing on Sunday afternoon, making him an RB2 with upside.
