The Pittsburgh Steelers have long maintained an offense focused on the running game more than most teams. Even when Ben Roethlisberger was cementing his Hall of Fame resume, the ground game was vital to the success of the offense.
After struggling in the post-Big Ben era, the Steelers have set themselves up for success with three running backs who can all get the job done – Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson.
With one of the ultimate game manager quarterbacks in history now in Pittsburgh (Russell Wilson), all three of the top guys are going to get their opportunities to contribute. Throw in new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who oversaw the most run-heavy offense in the NFL the last three years while in Atlanta, there is reason for more than one of the Steelers running backs making an impact on fantasy rosters.
