Despite all the injuries to the Pittsburgh defensive unit, fantasy owners should temper their expectations of Harrison in terms of fantasy production.

Harrison has un-retired and signed with the Steelers as expected on Tuesday, ESPN.com reports. According to Coach Mike Tomlin, the re-signing was "a simple and easy decision for us. We know James. James knows us."
The move became necessary after Pittsburgh placed second-year outside linebacker Jarvis Jones (wrist) on the injured reserve/designated for return list on Monday. Harrison played in 15 games for the Bengals last season, starting 10 of them, recording 30 tackles and two sacks. He is second on the Steelers' all-time sacks list with 64, and will have an opportunity to add to that total in Week 4 against Tampa Bay.
Mon Sep 22 201420:32Harrison expected to sign with Steelers this week
Harrison is expected to sign with the Steelers this week, NFL.com reports.
Harrison announced his retirement a month ago, but with the Steelers in dire need of help at linebacker, the 36-year-old will return to the team for which he played nine NFL seasons. Pittsburgh lost Ryan Shazier (knee) and Jarvis Jones (wrist) recently, and has few experienced players to fill the void. While Harrison no longer has elite explosion, he's familiar with defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau's system and can still defend the run. Assuming the signing goes through, Harrison will likely compete with Arthur Moats for playing time.
