Kaboly: Najee Harris sharing snaps with Jaylen Warren might be the fix the Steelers need Harris played less than 60 percent of the snaps — ceding time to the rookie Warren — but had his best game of the season. Coincidence?

Rushes for season-high 99 yards Harris rushed 20 times for 99 yards while failing to secure his lone target during the Steelers' 20-10 win over New Orleans on Sunday.
Impact Offensive coordinator Matt Canada said prior to Sunday's matchup that Harris could be in danger of losing some snaps, but the 2021 first-rounder had a season-high 20 rushes during the Week 10 victory. Jaylen Warren also saw his fair share of work, logging 77 yards from scrimmage. However, it was encouraging to see Harris record a season-high 99 yards as the Steelers picked up their third win of the year.

Facing challenge from Warren Harris could be at risk of losing some snaps and/or touches out of the backfield to rookie Jaylen Warren, though offensive coordinator Matt Canada wouldn't commit to that materiali...
Impact Canada's comments don't shed much light on how the Pittsburgh backfield will shake out in the weeks to come, but the confidence he expressed in Harris suggests that the 2021 first-round pick will continue to start in Sunday's game against the Saints even after head coach Mike Tomlin hinted Tuesday that Warren's profile on offense could expand over the back half of the Steelers' schedule. For his part, Warren told Chris Adamski of TribLive.com that he hasn't seen any increase in his rep counts during practice this week, so fantasy managers that have continued to deploy Harris in lineups amid his disappointing season have at least some reason to hope that he'll remain the preferred option in the backfield. While struggling through a Lisfranc injury in training camp and playing much of the first half of the season with a steel plate in his foot, Harris has yet to miss a game but is averaging a lowly 3.3 yards per carry on 108 totes and has found the end zone just three times. The foot injury and poor offensive line play have played a part in Harris' demise, but he's also seen his value take a hit due to a huge drop in targets. After averaging 5.5 targets per game as a rookie as one of Ben Roethlisberger's favorite check-down options, Harris is down to 3.5 per game in 2022 with either Mitch Trubisky or Kenny Pickett taking the snaps at quarterback.

Six receptions in blowout loss Harris recorded eight rushes for 32 yards in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the Eagles. He added six receptions on six targets for 26 yards.
Impact Harris failed to reach double-digit rushing attempts for the first time this season, primarily because the Steelers were trailing for nearly the entire game. Instead, Harris did see a season-high six targets -- he caught all of them -- and managed his highest receiving yardage total since Week 2. While Jaylen Warren carried the ball six times, a significant amount of that work came in garbage time, and Harris remains the clear lead back in Pittsburgh. Nevertheless, he has yet to reach 80 rushing or 100 total yards in a game this season.

Tallies 80 yards from scrimmage Harris rushed 17 times for 65 yards while securing three of four targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Dolphins.
Impact Harris has had an inconsistent start to the 2022 campaign, but he logged his second-highest total of the season in yards from scrimmage. The 24-year-old has failed to top 100 yards in any of the first seven games of the season, and it's possible that he faces an unfavorable game script next week if the Steelers fall behind early to the undefeated Eagles.

Reaches end zone in victory Harris rushed 14 times for 42 yards while securing two of three targets for seven yards and a touchdown during the Steelers' 20-18 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Impact Harris had a steel plate removed from the shoe on his left foot this week, signaling that he's moved past the Lisfranc injury that he dealt with during training camp. Although the Steelers picked up their second win of the season Sunday, Harris remained relatively inefficient, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry. He propped up his fantasy results with a six-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter, but it was discouraging to see him remain inefficient in Week 6. The 2021 first-rounder will face a more favorable opponent in Miami next Sunday.

Impact Harris suffered an aggravation of the foot problem Week 1 against the Bengals and was forced to exit that contest, but he hasn't missed any games since. Though he's suited up in every game this season, Harris has mustered just 3.2 yards on 69 carries and has gained only 64 yards on 13 receptions (4.9 yards per catch). While poor quarterback and offensive-line play have likely factored into Harris' struggles to some extent, playing though the foot injury may have also played a part in his diminished effectiveness. Harris' positive outlook about his health is good news, but it doesn't necessarily indicate he's due to take a big jump forward in performance the rest of the way while his team context remains poor.

Inefficient in blowout loss Harris rushed 11 times for 20 yards while securing three of four targets for 16 yards during the Steelers' 38-3 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Impact Harris racked up a season-high 74 rushing yards during last week's loss to the Jets, but he averaged just 1.8 yards per carry during Sunday's blowout loss in Buffalo. Although the 2021 first-rounder had another discouraging performance to begin the year, he was facing a stingy run defense with an unfavorable game script since the Steelers fell behind early. Harris will face another tough test against the Buccaneers at home next week.
