Najee Harris led the Steelers in carries and rushing yards for Sunday's win over the Browns. His 16 rushes beat Jaylen Warren by seven and Cordarrelle Patterson by 12. But Harris managed just 53 yards. His 3.3 per rush trailed Warren's 5.2. Harris did, at least, get the team's only rushing score. Harris also watched Warren control receiving work, though.

Warren ran 20 pass routes to Harris' 6 and led the team with 5 targets. He managed just 2 receptions for 25 yards. But his control of backfield receiving usage marked a big change from Harris' 6 receptions in Week 13.
The Steelers now get tough rushing matchups against:
- Philadelphia
- Baltimore
- Kansas City
That could further favor Warren's usage over Harris', especially against any opponents able to jump out to a lead.
Warren remains a stashable asset. Harris will be tough to like as a fantasy starter over the next three weeks.
