2025 Fantasy Outlook
Harrison began the 2024 season in a rotational role with the Ravens but earned a starting job in Week 11. He put together a career-best year, logging 54 tackles (22 solo), including two sacks, over 15 regular-season appearances. After spending the first five years of his career in Baltimore, he'll remain in the AFC North on a two-year agreement with the Steelers. However, the 27-year-old seems unlikely to have a starting role with his new team, which limits his upside. Read Past Outlooks

Harrison (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against Cincinnati, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison suffered a knee injury in Pittsburgh's season-opening win over the Jets and subsequently landed on IR. He was designated to return Monday and has been limited in practice throughout the week. That gives Harrison a chance to suit up Thursday, though he'd first need to be activated.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Harrison enters his second season after playing a rotational role as a rookie. He appeared in all 16 games and picked up 44 tackles. Veteran L.J. Fort projects to start ahead of him, but given Harrison's potential and draft capital as a former third-round pick, the hope is that Harrison will overtake Fort for a starting role alongside Patrick Queen.
The rookie out of Ohio State has intriguing athletic tools that could put him on the IDP radar in 2020. Harrison led the Buckeyes in tackles as a senior with 75 stops and lived in opponents' backfields with 16.5 tackles for loss. The combine proved that Harrison has athleticism that'll help him stick at the next level; he ran a 4.66 in the 40-yard dash and added the fastest 3-cone drill (6.83) of any linebacker in the class. Coach John Harbaugh noted that Harrison can play inside linebacker or outside. If he plays inside, he'd have to challenge veteran L.J. Fort for snaps. If Baltimore uses him outside, he'd have to cut into snaps for either Matt Judon or Jaylon Ferguson. Harrison is toolsy and his college production suggests he could find his way into a significant role as a rookie, but Baltimore will likely make the most of its deep linebacking corps and not lean too heavily on him.
