While cycling through quarterbacks, the Steelers leaned heavily on their backfield duo of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. Harris received the bulk of the carries and had his most efficient campaign to date, posting over 4.0 yards per tote in a season for the first time in his career. The third-year pro isn't flashy, but his consistency and physical presence are exactly what this year's Steelers need.
Harris is a workhorse back who gets better as the season goes along. It is no surprise he is only 11th, given his slow start to the season, with many at that time calling for Warren to be the starting running back, not Harris. But just like every season of Harris' career, he got better as the weather got colder. In the first eight games of the season, Harris only surpassed the 50-yard mark four times. But in the final nine, he ran for more than 50 yards six times.
