James Harrison Sits Out Another Practice: Fantasy Implications
Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker James Harrison missed practice on Wednesday with a knee injury. We breakdown the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Implications: Harrison is one of the more dominant outside rushers in this league, who adds great value to the Steelers defense as a whole. The Pittsburgh D/ST is typically one of the higher drafted units each season, largely because they can create pressure and force turnovers -- Harrison is important to that. If Harrison is good to play, the Steelers defense will increase in value. They should be a more productive group with Harrison in the lineup, so if you rotate defenses, watch for Harrison’s status.
