Moss, Harris among 5 must-start Week 4 fantasy football running backs Zack Moss and Najee Harris are among UPI senior sports writer Alex Butler’s five must-start fantasy football running backs for Week 4.
Rested during Wednesday's practice Harris (not injury-related/rest) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Though Harris was spotted wearing a sling around his right arm/elbow in the Steelers' locker room Monday, coach Mike Tomlin downplayed that Tuesday, indicating that the running back would be ready for Week 4 action, per Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. With the Steelers listing Harris' absence Wednesday due to rest, he still appears to be on track to suit up Sunday against the Colts. Meanwhile, Jaylen Warren (knee) also sat out the session, with his availability versus Indianapolis TBD.

Impact Harris showed no obvious sign of being limited by an injury in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers, as he took on a normal offensive snap share (58 percent) and handled heavy volume (18 carries, five targets). However, Harris' health suddenly came into question Monday, when he was spotted in the Pittsburgh locker room sporting a sling on his right arm. Based on Tomlin's comments, Harris might have been wearing the sling strictly as a precaution, and the coach didn't suggest that the running back's practice participation this week would be affected as a result. Assuming Harris is confirmed to be a full participant during Wednesday's session, he should be in the clear to handle another big workload in Indianapolis, especially with the availability of top backup Jaylen Warren (knee) looking much murkier.

Nursing arm injury after Week 3 win Harris is wearing a sling around his right arm/elbow in the Steelers' locker room Monday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Impact Harris didn't substitute out due to an apparent injury during Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers, in which he rushed 18 times for 70 yards including Pittsburgh's final carry. He also caught all five of his targets for 16 yards, and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin didn't mention an injury to Harris in his postgame press conference. Further clarity on Harris' health may not arrive until Wednesday, when Pittsburgh's first official injury report of Week 4 is revealed. If healthy, Harris will stand to continue handling a workhorse role Sunday on the road against Indianapolis.

Twenty-three touches in Week 3 win Harris rushed 18 times for 70 yards and caught all five of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Steelers.
Impact Harris' last carry was a 21-yard burst down to the 1-yard line, but Pittsburgh just kneeled down twice after that to run out the clock without giving Harris another opportunity to score his first touchdown of the season. He handled 23 touches compared to seven for Cordarrelle Patterson and four for Jaylen Warren. Harris has 55 carries through three games but is averaging just 3.8 yards per carry heading into Week 4 against the Colts.

Leads backfield again Harris rushed the ball 17 times for 69 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos. He added one reception on two targets for five yards.
Impact Harris dominated the workload out of the backfield in Week 1 and largely replicated that Sunday as he saw 18 total touches to Jaylen Warren's 11. The story for Harris was familiar in that he was effective in keeping the Steelers' offense on schedule but didn't turn in a strong fantasy performance. Notably, his longest gain of the day went for just 11 yards, and he now has a total of 139 rushing yards on 37 attempts through two games. Harris has also seen minimal involvement as a receiver with only three total targets.

Dominates workload Harris rushed the ball 20 times for 70 yards in Sunday's 18-10 win over Atlanta. He added one reception on two targets for nine yards.
Impact Harris surprisingly dominated opportunity out of the Pittsburgh backfield, accounting for 20 of 26 carries by the team's running backs. He wasn't very efficient but highlighted his day with a 20-yard rush early in the fourth quarter. Given Jaylen Warren's recent return from a hamstring injury, it's likely that we'll see his workload move closer to even with Harris as the season progresses. However, until proven otherwise, Harris should post decent production based on volume alone.

One drive in preseason finale Harris rushed the ball once for five yards in Saturday's 24-17 preseason loss to the Lions.
Impact Harris played on the opening drive with Russell Wilson under center and received his carry on the opening play of the game. He'll likely head into Week 1 as the top choice in Pittsburgh's backfield for early down work, though the team has continuously played down the significance of Jaylen Warren's hamstring injury. If Warren is able to suit up, he would likely cost Harris significant work as a pass catcher as well as some rushing attempts.
