Who Should I Start? Najee Harris or Jerome Ford

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.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford carried the ball four times for 19 yards and added an eight-yard catch on his lone target in a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. Ford was not a focal point of the offense on a cold, snowy day in Cleveland where the Browns leaned on Nick Chubb to grind out tough yards in the close win. The Browns appear content to let Chubb see the majority of the work on the offense while Ford mixes in on passing downs. Ford does not need to remain rostered in fantasy heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
