2022 Fantasy Outlook
Volume was the biggest selling point for Harris in fantasy drafts last year after the Alabama
product became the 24th overall pick, and Mike Tomlin didn't disappoint as the rookie was a
huge part of the Pittsburgh offense right away. Harris was the only player other than Jonathan
Taylor to top 300 carries last season, and the rookie's 94 targets tied with Austin Ekeler to lead
running backs. Harris' 3.9 yards per carry was disappointing, and his other efficiency stats
weren't much better, but he faced tough circumstances between a subpar offensive line and a
passing game with little vertical element. Ben Roethlisberger's retirement won't necessarily improve things — especially with Mitchell Trubisky or rookie Kenny Pickett taking over under center — but the roster still offers little competition for touches behind Harris, who could have
slightly better blocking this season after the Steelers signed C Mason Cole and G James
Daniels. Harris ran for only 1.7 yards before contact per carry last year, ranking 49th of 53
qualified RBs, and better blocking would give the 232-pounder more opportunities to run over
defensive backs in the open field. Combined with another huge workload, it's a formula for big-
time production if the Pittsburgh offense takes even a modest step forward. Read Past Outlooks

Overcomes early fumble
Harris carried the ball 23 times for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Browns. He added one catch for 10 yards.
ANALYSIS
Harris topped 20 rushing attempts for the third time in his last four games, and he topped 80 rushing yards in six of Pittsburgh's final nine games to close the season. His effort Sunday was highlighted by a run of 11 yards and a trip to the end zone from four yards away. He narrowly missed a bigger performance, as he was denied at the goal line and was stripped of the ball early in the first quarter. Nevertheless, Harris has topped 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first two seasons in the NFL, and he also tallied 10 total touchdowns in both campaigns. He'll head into 2023 as the Steelers' lead back once again.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
The latest product of Nick Saban's running back factory, Harris is a big, athletic runner who offers three-down potential in the NFL. His ability to run through would-be tacklers (or, in the case of one poor Notre Dame defender featured in endless replays, hurdle over them) jumps out from his tape, but Harris also features some elusiveness and burst through traffic that allows him to pick up plenty of extra yards, even if his lack of top-end speed keeps him from being a consistent home-run threat. Harris seems to be more of an instinctive runner than one with well-developed vision, but either way he can find an opening and hit it. He's put in work to become better as a pass catcher and blocker, but he's simply adequate at both and not a difference-maker. The track record of Crimson Tide backs is a very good one in recent years, and Harris has the skills to establish himself as a three-down back in Pittsburgh after becoming the first running back off the board in the 2021 draft (24th overall). Given his size and running style, a career like that of former Rams star Steven Jackson wouldn't be surprising.
