Best Steelers-Colts Prop Bet
Najee Harris Prop: O/U 17.5 Yards Receiving
Najee Harris has struggled mightily this season. After a dazzling rookie campaign in 2021 that resulted in 1,200 yards rushing and 467 receiving, the leader in both categories among rookie running backs, Harris is averaging 55 yards rushing per game and has seen his carries lessen drastically due to a foot injury. With that being said, Harris has put together back-to-back phenomenal games and looks fully healthy. He totaled 215 yards on 44 touches in those two games and did all he could to keep the Steelers offense in the game last week against the Cincinnati Bengals. Tonight he’ll face off against a stingy Indianapolis Colts defensive front, which is coached by inexperienced head coach Jeff Saturday.
The Colts present a tough matchup on the ground for Harris. They’ve allowed only 96 yards rushing per game in their last three but were shredded by Jalen Hurts and company last week in a losing effort. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin knows they need to continue to get their best player involved in the offense to pull out victories, and that includes having rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett dumping it off to Harris out of the backfield. Pickett has solidified himself as the guy under center and has put together back-to-back games with zero turnovers. Harris reeled in four catches on six targets last week, which were second on the team behind tight end Pat Freiermuth.
The Colts have allowed the 10th-most yards receiving to the running back position and the seventh-most receptions. Harris has gone over this line in two of his last three games and will look to continue the best stretch of his sophomore season.
