Najee Harris (knee) held out of Steelers' first Wild Card practice
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) did not practice on Wednesday for the Wild Card Round versus the Buffalo Bills.
What It Means:
The Steelers are likely just managing Harris' reps ahead of their matchup in Buffalo on Sunday afternoon. He racked up a whopping 53 carries in the final two games of the regular season. Jaylen Warren will pick up more work if Harris is dealing with an injury that limits his availability.
numberFire's models project Harris for 9.2 FanDuel points in the Wild Card Round, with 16.2 carries, 64.9 rushing yards, 1.0 receptions, and 5.7 yards. The Bills ranked 17th in FanDuel points allowed per game to running backs and their run defense finished 18th in our opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings.
