Who Should I Start? Najee Harris or J.K. Dobbins

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.

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins scored two touchdowns in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Dobbins ran the ball 11 times, gaining 56 yards and scoring on the ground twice. He was only targeted once in the passing game and made the grab for a three-yard gain. Dobbins ran well in this one despite a usually strong Bengals run defense. His first touchdown was on a one-yard goal line plunge in the second quarter, and his second was a game-clincher in the fourth quarter that came on a 29-yard rush with 18 seconds left. Dobbins was once again in charge of this backfield despite only tallying 11 carries, as all other Chargers running backs combined for eight total carries. Dobbins will again be on the RB2 radar next week on Monday Night Football against the Ravens.
