2025 Fantasy Outlook
Harmon spent his first three collegiate seasons at Michigan State before transferring to Oregon for the 2024 season. He improved each year and was selected 21st overall by the Steelers in the 2025 NFL Draft. Harmon racked up 45 tackles (27 solo), including five sacks and 11 tackles for a loss, four pass defenses, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 2024. Larry Ogunjobi signed with Buffalo this spring, so Harmon should have a chance to see a full-time role as a rookie. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $17.97 million contract with the Steelers in May of 2025.
Unnoteworthy rookie campaign
Harmon recorded 27 total tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed and a fumble recovery over 12 games during the 2025 regular season.
ANALYSIS
Harmon opened the season on the sidelines after suffering a sprained MCL in late August, but he was only forced to miss two contests. The 2025 first-round pick then hit the ground running, securing seven total takedowns, including 2.0 sacks, over his first three games. Harmon then became somewhat of background character on the Steelers defense for the rest of the regular season, ultimately missing three more contests with a separate knee injury in late November and early December. The defensive lineman did leave his mark on Pittsburgh's 30-6 loss to the Texans in the wild-card round though, notching six tackles, one which was a sack. Harmon will enter the 2026 campaign looking to make a second-year leap with the Steelers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected back vs. Lions
Harmon, who's missed the past three games with a knee injury, is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Lions, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harmon has logged a total of five absences overall during his rookie campaign, but he's been effective when on the field. The first-round pick has amassed 22 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, one pass defensed and one fumble recovery across nine contests, providing a formidable presence on the interior of Pittsburgh's defensive front that will certainly be needed against Detroit's two-headed backfield of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.
