The Steelers are hosting the Chiefs in Pittsburgh on Christmas Day. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Kansas City is favored by three points and this game carries a total of 43.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Najee Harris prop to consider from this contest.

Best Najee Harris Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Najee Harris U 11.5 Carries (+100)

Harris has only seen six and nine carries in his past two games, and in that latter contest, Jaylen Warren clearly played ahead of Harris. Warren led the Steelers with 12 carries, which was 57% of the team’s running back carries and by far his highest rush share of the season.

While neither has been overly effective, Warren is averaging 4.1 YPC this season, which is slightly better than Harris at 3.9 and it is possible that Warren has leapfrogged Harris as the Steelers’ top rusher. Warren very well could out-carry Harris again this week and Pittsburgh isn’t in an ideal position to run the ball much in general. Not only are the Steelers three-point underdogs vs. the Chiefs on DraftKings Sportsbook, but Kansas City has a stout rush defense that is giving up the fourth-fewest yards per rush this season (4.0).

Opposing running backs have run the ball at the second-lowest rate in the league when facing the Chiefs and at an appealing price of +100 on DraftKings Sportsbook, Harris is an excellent wager to record under 11.5 carries on Christmas Day.
