Who Should I Start? Najee Harris or Isiah Pacheco

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.

Running back Isiah Pacheco (abdomen) has been given the go-ahead to play in the Kansas City Chiefs' Week 4 game against the New York Jets. In Week 3 against the Bears, the back suffered an abdomen injury but was able to stay in that game and practice in full all week long. In spite of the injury, and a season-low 42% snap share, he had his most productive game of the season against Chicago, finishing with 15 carries for 62 yards and a touchdown and adding 16 more yards on his two receptions. Pacheco will still be splitting backfield reps with Jerome McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire against the Jets who have managed to prevent a rushing touchdown through the first three weeks of the season. Pacheco can again be considered a low-end RB2 in Week 4.
