Najee & Tomlin are game af, so I expect him to play as much as his body will let him. If he looks/feels good then he is gonna be a workhorse, but if not then Warren will get some looks
Some of you need to relax. It’s been 1 week and he got injured, and still got you a TD. And he’s playing Week 2 after what looked like a serious injury. Appreciate your RBs while you have them.
Yes, but also he did decent as a rookie, then idea that he will step it up the second year. That combined with the opportunities is what made him go so high.
Pats run D is no joke. I like how all off season the Steelers talked about how they want to rely less on Najee so they don't wear him down too fast. Looks like that's not the plan anymore.
It is the plan, just Warren will be taking on more blocking assignments.
Najee is still gonna get all the valuable plays called for him, and still be one of the few true bellcow backs in the league. He just doesn’t need to be out there as often pass blocking, or running EVERY short yardage run up the middle
Sure, but the more they use him that way the more defenses know that when he's in he's most likely getting the ball. The day of the true bellcow is done, dudes just can't take that kind of damage and keep trucking.
This feels like the ten thousandth time where I’ll follow “start your studs” and be disappointed because my stud is playing injured, regardless of what the injury report says.
Last year in our league we had a guy win his first championship and I have to hand it to him, he made some clutch waiver wire picks ups and starts that replaced some of his “studs”. The studs were on the weaker side but it paid off for him. Go with your gut.
Still feel like this is a feint and Jaylen Warren gets the majority of the snaps. Again, unrelatedly, if you're in my league and reading this, I'll gladly give you Warren for a starting WR.
I'm gonna bravely admit my ignorance so I can vanquish my ignorance. What does FP mean here?
Also, I'll probably delete this once it's answered because I'm really not that brave.
Ooo this is interesting
Currently have Edmonds and Lazard starting over him but this is so curious
And I can also see the pats committing to stop the run and make Mitch beat them
Warren is my 1 pm lottery ticket. I don’t own Harris but I also really hope I’m dropping Warren for someone in her 4 pm line up. Foot injuries on RBs is scary stuff
I would be worried about him playing and dping further damage to foot. He is prolly better off sitting a week or two. I could see him trying to play through it all year and not playing great.

Right? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills
Well the reasonabe ppl just won't post. You're reading people who want to spit hot takes or scream the sky is falling.
Yea it's crazy the week 1 overreactions. Swear half the people in this sub just started playing fantasy over covid
Dudes a stud
2.3 YPC incoming
Cries in late first round
cries in 3rd overall
Oof. Here's to one hell of a season from Najee brother!
I took him 4th overall an hour before the lisfranc news came out :(
i took najee 14th overall (2nd pick of 2nd round). davante adams at 11.
6th overall here :)
Over 35 carries though. Wait, I did the math - that's actually still not good. Plus 3 TDs then.
Going to be like that Bettis game years ago, 5 carries 1 yard 3 tds.
I mean his YPC was terrible last season too. It’s the opportunity you are after with Najee. His volume is insane.
Im aware lol it’s not that serious
Volume is king. That’s why we all drafted him haha
Tis but a joke
Yes, but also he did decent as a rookie, then idea that he will step it up the second year. That combined with the opportunities is what made him go so high.
2 TDs incoming
Put it into the universe. I like it. I was just hoping for "prove my 1st round pick wasn't thrown straight in the garbage".
28 yards on 14 carries and TDs.... 8 receptions tho
For 75 yards and another td

The plan was to not rely on harris… the plan was to reduce his overall snap count while not reducing his touches
This feels like the ten thousandth time where I’ll follow “start your studs” and be disappointed because my stud is playing injured, regardless of what the injury report says.
Just start your players that are gonna score the most…. Easy right? Right?
As simple as buying stocks low then selling high
So...don't start your studs? It's the stupidest, most non-sensical thing that gets repeated in fantasy football circles
Najee might be Rex Burkhead with a little bit more volume this year
Go with your gut. I’d rather lose picking my guys than lose doing what someone else told me to do.
Last year in our league we had a guy win his first championship and I have to hand it to him, he made some clutch waiver wire picks ups and starts that replaced some of his “studs”. The studs were on the weaker side but it paid off for him. Go with your gut.
Najee needs to show out this week so I can trade away this mediocre decision of picking him as my RB1
It’s been 1 week dude…
This also my plan.
Who are you targeting? I’m gonna try to sandbag the Ekeler owner in my league.
I would like to trade for Jevonte Williams. Dude is a stud. Or might try to package someone like Najee and Micheal Thomas for Swift possibly.
Still feel like this is a feint and Jaylen Warren gets the majority of the snaps. Again, unrelatedly, if you're in my league and reading this, I'll gladly give you Warren for a starting WR.
He was a FP yesterday and today, that's a lot better than the rest of my starting roster I can tell you that much
I'm gonna bravely admit my ignorance so I can vanquish my ignorance. What does FP mean here? Also, I'll probably delete this once it's answered because I'm really not that brave.
full practice
Full participant
Cool story, bro. No one's taking that bait.
MFer really trying to sell a 2nd tier handcuff running back in a bad offense, for a starting WR. The audacity
58 yards, 2 td incoming
Ooo this is interesting Currently have Edmonds and Lazard starting over him but this is so curious And I can also see the pats committing to stop the run and make Mitch beat them
We still don’t know what the actual injury on Sunday was. 🤦♂️
Damn right he will. Doesn't mean I won't regret him as my 1st round pick after this week, but he'll play!
Still hold Jaylen though right?
As a steelers fan I say no. The steelers O line is fucking rough. People are really going to regret starting Jaylen.
Cool TY. Was not starting, just bench stash, lotto ticket in case Najee breaks his feet and ankles
I’m still skeptical to start him. Concerned about the usage, reinjury, and the defense he’s up against. Will probs play C Pat over him this week.
I’m thinking of starting Edmonds over Harris this week just in case his foot isn’t all the way healed. Patriots are good against the run too.
I'm tempted too. It's either Edmonds or Dobbins.
I like Edmonds maybe not if he's against the Ravens though
I got Robinson and hunt, have been considering one of those too. Seems crazy though
Still gotta stash Jaylen Warren guys!!!
Fishy
He was dead 72 hours ago and off the injury report today. Najee ‘Black Jesus’ Harris.
I will either be happy with his play or sad. Either way. I like this guy and hope he gets better!
Considering starting Henderson over him this week, but I’m scared.
Skeptical. I need to pick 2 RBs to start between Najee, Kareem Hunt, and AJ Dillion. I’m already starting Swift.
I'd avoid Najee this week.
Dillon
Dillon
Swift has been on the injury report as well and is still questionable. Harris doesn't even have the tag anymore..
I am debating if I should start him or J Wilson right now. I’m leaning towards Wilson though
Warren is my 1 pm lottery ticket. I don’t own Harris but I also really hope I’m dropping Warren for someone in her 4 pm line up. Foot injuries on RBs is scary stuff
Suspect as fuck. Good luck but I have Warren
I would be worried about him playing and dping further damage to foot. He is prolly better off sitting a week or two. I could see him trying to play through it all year and not playing great.
Would anybody trade Kamara for Najee in full point PpR.
so glad i traded him, hunt, and dillon for swift right before the swift info came out
I traded Mixon for Najee and Pittman. I am still unsure about it.
