Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed 21 times for 102 yards and 1 TD in a Week 7 win over the Jets. He’s now posted two straight games over 100 rushing yards for just the second time in his career.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

The Jets entered this one with several key injuries, but that shouldn’t take away from Harris’ impressive individual effort.

Per Next Gen Stats, Harris forced a season-high 7 missed tackles. He's also up to 80 rush yards over expected over the past two weeks – second-highest league-wide.

Harris topped Jaylen Warren in carry share (60% vs. 34%) but was subbed out in a chunk of passing situations. Warren topped him in routes run (19 to 10) and targets (3 to 1). Harris’ lone target wasn’t catchable.

Pittsburgh plays in the Week 8 Monday nighter vs. the Giants -- another matchup that should produce a positive game script for Harris. He remains an RB2 going forward.
