Najee Harris Comfortable With Big Workload
2 years agoPittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris led the NFL with 381 touches in 2021 and became the first rookie in league history with 300-plus carries and 70-plus receptions. It's been well-documented that the Steelers want to lighten his load a little bit heading into his second season, but Harris said on the Rich Eisen Show earlier this week that he's comfortable with a huge workload if it helps the team win. "Listen, I didn't have an issue with it. It was the media who had an issue with it. I told them every game, 'If this is the way we're winning, I can carry the load.' I train to carry loads. It's not something that I haven't done before," Harris said. It makes sense for Pittsburgh to give Harris a little more rest in 2022, but even then, he should be considered a top-six fantasy RB1.
