Harris wasn’t tagged with any type of injury designation following the Steelers’ Week 3 win vs the Chargers, but having his right arm in a sling the day after suggests that the Steelers’ top two running backs could be dealing with injuries in the coming weeks. Harris handled the majority of the work in the ground game over both Cordarrelle Patterson and Jaylen Warren, the latter of whom will be getting an MRI on his knee this week to determine the severity of the injury he sustained on Sunday. Should both Warren and Harris be sidelined, Arthur Smith’s favorite running back Patterson would be in line for a considerable role out of the Pittsburgh backfield. The Steelers have been one of the most run-heavy offenses so far this season, which is likely by design to keep Justin Fields playing on schedule. It’ll be interesting to see if the game plan shifts at all with Warren and Harris potentially missing time – however, fantasy managers would be best served to wait for a more revealing report later in the week ahead of their Week 4 tilt against the Colts.
