NFL.com Names Najee Harris As A Player Who Can Rebound After A Slow Start

Najee Harris hasn’t had a great start to the season thus far, with his season high of 74 rushing yards coming during Sunday’s loss against the Jets. NFL.com’s David Carr writes that Harris is poised for a rebound.

“Harris isn’t getting the same opportunity to impact each game as he did during his rookie season. It’s as simple as that. He’s averaging 14.5 rush attempts and 17 touches per game in 2022, down from 18 carries and 22.4 touches per game in ’21. With rookie Kenny Pickett taking over at quarterback, I expect Harris to get more chances to create big plays,” Carr wrote.
