1. Najee Harris, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers (vs. New York Jets)

Najee Harris through three games has rushed 40 times for 128 yards and two touchdowns. He’s been a reliable player for both the Steelers as well as fantasy managers. Perhaps the only thing holding him back from top-five numbers is the volatility of the Steelers’ offense under Mitchell Trubisky, as well as their very shaky offensive line. He’s getting workhorse volume, though.

Harris has one of his best matchups of the season this week as the Steelers take on the New York Jets, who allow the eighth-most fantasy points to running backs this season. In a game where the Steelers will likely be dominating, Harris should get plenty of work. If the Steelers offense can improve, and Harris is able to see more pass-catching opportunities, he will have top-five upside.

For Week 4, Harris is a low-end RB1 with upside for more. Obviously, he’s a start in season-long leagues, and he’s a solid daily fantasy play this week as my top matchup of the week.
