Patterson was used sparingly in a negative game environment, scoring from 12 yards out on a fade in the third quarter. Jaylen Warren saw the highest snap rate and opportunity share for the Steelers, which makes sense considering the flow of the game. Patterson remains unlikely to return usable fantasy scores at this stage of his career.
As is typically the case with the Steelers, Warren saw increased opportunities in a negative game script, finishing second on the team in receiving with 44 yards. He failed to find the end zone on three red zone opportunities, watching from the sideline as Cordarrelle Patterson caught a 12-yard fade for a touchdown in the third quarter. Warren could be called upon at a similar rate in Week 17 when the Steelers face off with the 14-1 Chiefs.
Harris failed to corral his only target and retreated to the sidelines for the most of the second half as both Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson saw run, the latter of whom scored the only touchdown out of the backfield on a 12-yard fade in the third quarter. Harris could find the sledding tough once again when the Steelers face the Chiefs in Week 17.

Najee Harris led the Steelers in carries and rushing yards for Sunday's win over the Browns. His 16 rushes beat Jaylen Warren by seven and Cordarrelle Patterson by 12. But Harris managed just 53 yards. His 3.3 per rush trailed Warren's 5.2. Harris did, at least, get the team's only rushing score. Harris also watched Warren control receiving work, though.
