    Harris signed to be ‘significant contributor’

    ESPN’s Jordan Raanan says Najee Harris “was brought in under the premise that he’s going to be a significant contributor” for the Giants this season.

    It’s worth noting that Cam Skattebo continues to be the first running back up in practice, but it sounds like the Giants could have a vision for Harris, who signed with the team on a one-year, minimum-salary deal, per Raanan. Harris is returning from a torn Achilles that ended his 2025 season in Week 3, but there’s plenty of room for him to earn snaps behind Skattebo once he gets up to speed. A blown pass-blocking assignment by Tyrone Tracy in the team’s first preseason game against the Vikings raised immediate questions about whether or not the Giants will trust Tracy in pass-blocking situations this season, and Harris has proven to be a capable pass-blocker in the past. At this point, it’s hard to imagine Harris having any standalone fantasy value in a healthy Giants backfield, but he could be worth a handcuff to Skattebo in deeper leagues based on these latest reports.

    Giants signed RB Najee Harris to a one-year deal.
    Harris visited the Giants on Monday and the connection is obvious with Greg Roman on the coaching staff after he was the OC with the Chargers, where Harris played last year. The Giants maybe aren’t the ideal landing spot with Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary all healthy at the moment. Harris should work as the RB3 with occasional opportunities to cut into Skattebo’s workload.

    FA Running Back #22
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports free agent RB Najee Harris is visiting with the Giants on Monday.
    This comes two weeks after The Athletic’s Dan Duggan said the team could look to add a veteran running back before the team’s season opener. Harris, 28, suffered a torn Achilles in Week 3 of last season and has been working toward a return. He met with the Raiders earlier this offseason and will now meet with the Giants, who have a relatively crowded backfield with Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy, and a proven vet in Devin Singletary. If Harris were to join the Giants, we would expect him to work behind both Skattebo and Tracy.
  • skattebo.jpg
    Cam Skattebo
    NYG Running Back #44
    Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy are listed as co-starters on the Giants’ first unofficial depth chart.
    Coming off a serious leg injury that ended his 2025 season in November, Skattebo has fared well in offseason practices and training camp, claiming he’s fully healed from his leg break. For now he’s listed as a co-RB1 alongside Tracy, who was up and down as the Giants’ lead back last season after Skattebo went down to injury. Devin Singletary listed as the lone RB2 likely means Tracy would get first crack at lead back duties if Skattebo misses any time in 2026. Tracy will be worth rostering in most 12-team formats.
  • tyrone.jpg
    Tyrone Tracy
    NYG Running Back #29
    The Athletic’s Dan Duggan reports Tyrone Tracy Jr. is getting “the majority of snaps in two-minute drives.”
    It’s a sneaky way that Tracy could cut into Cam Skattebo’s workload. Duggan went as far as to say it “figures to be a time share, with Skattebo the 1-A and Tracy the 1-B,” and while we wouldn’t go quite that far with Skattebo being the lead back in most other drills and being anointed the starter for most of camp, it does cut Skattebo’s value just a smidge.
  • skattebo.jpg
    Cam Skattebo
    NYG Running Back #44
    Giants coach John Harbaugh said RB Cam Skattebo’s apparent leg injury is “nothing serious at all.”
    Skattebo left practice early on Friday after taking a hard hit from LB Arvell Reese. Skattebo spent the rest of today’s practice on the Giants’ sideline, stretching his left leg. Per The Athletic’s Dan Duggan, it was it was his hamstring. That makes sense. Some of you might remember that Skattebo suffered a season-ending right ankle dislocation and fibula fracture last year. Harbaugh said that Skattebo is still “working back into football shape.” Putting two and two together, it sounds like Skattebo may have suffered a hamstring strain today. The injury might cost him a few practices, and it is worth noting that Harbaugh tends to present optimistic recovery timelines, but Skattebo should have ample time to rehab and ramp up before the regular season. Hopefully, he can take preseason reps if that was meant to be part of his ankle-related rehab plan.

    Cam Skattebo
    NYG Running Back #44
    ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reports that Giants RB Cam Skattebo exited practice early after suffering an apparent left leg injury on Friday.
    Per Raanan, Skattebo “went down after a collision with LB Arvell Reese.” Skattebo stopped practicing after that but did not depart for the locker room. Instead, he remained on the sideline, stretching his left leg. The good news here is that he did not re-injure his right leg. He suffered a season-ending right ankle dislocation and fibula fracture last year. That leg appears to be a-okay. The fact that Skattebo was not taken to the locker room could be a positive indicator on this one. Perhaps a contusion, rather than a strain? We’ll provide an update as soon as we have one.
  • skattebo.jpg
    Cam Skattebo
    NYG Running Back #44
    SNY’s Connor Hughes said it’s “clear Cam Skattebo is the top back” for the Giants in training camp.
    According to Hughes, Skattebo is “the first up in almost every running drill,” and he has also handled the majority of carries in practice. While it’s certainly an encouraging sign for Skattebo’s usage, Hughes also notes that the preferred options in the passing game are Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary. If the Giants were to dial back Skattebo’s role in the receiving game, it could deal a bit of a blow to his fantasy stock. He was on a 17-game pace to catch 51 passes last season, and his work in the passing game made up 43.7 percent of his fantasy scoring in PPR leagues last year. Skattebo’s role as an early-down grinder and goal-line back should be more than enough to satisfy fantasy managers this season, but a reduced role in the passing game would put a bit of a cap on his ceiling.
  • skattebo.jpg
    Cam Skattebo
    NYG Running Back #44
    The Athletic’s Dan Duggan believes the Giants’ running back group “is a sneaky position to watch for an addition before the opener.”
    Duggan buried this thought in a lengthy social media post last Wednesday. He says Giants RBs Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy “are fine,” but notes that the front office was “open to upgrading to a premier back,” referring to Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love. Duggan “could see a vet signing,” like free agent RB Najee Harris (Achilles) once he is healthy, “or a trade.” A veteran like Harris would slide into the RB3 role, and might occasionally steal enough touches to hurt Skattebo’s weekly ceiling outcomes. A premier back would have a much larger impact, but a player like that would obviously be much harder to acquire at this point. That outcome seems far less likely at this point, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the Giants added another name to the backfield.
  • skattebo.jpg
    Cam Skattebo
    NYG Running Back #44
    Giants coach John Harbaugh said Cam Skattebo is “a top tier back, and he’s planning on playing that way this year.”
    Skattebo was already taking 11-on-11 reps before the end of the early offseason and did a backflip at Brian Burns’ celebrity softball game, while ESPN’s Jordan Raanan believes he will be a full participant when training camp begins. Skattebo’s contact-heavy style opens up some fantasy football questions about his longevity, especially given his injury last year, but he played to a low-end RB1 ranking most weeks under Brian Daboll after taking over the lead role. Currently heading off the board towards the back of the top 50 picks by ADP and bolstered by his head coach’s confidence, it sure seems like the Giants run game is trending towards being Skattebo-forward again this year.
  • tyrone.jpg
    Tyrone Tracy
    NYG Running Back #29
    The Athletic’s Dan Duggan believes Tyrone Tracy’s role in the Giants backfield is “undefined.”
    He notes that Tracy “could be” the second option in a backfield committee with Cam Skattebo, but it sounds like we shouldn’t necessarily count on Tracy to win that role. With a new coaching staff in town, it’s possible Tracy falls out of favor. The good news for Tracy is that the Giants didn’t add anyone new to the backfield in free agency or the draft. Tracy’s role dwindling would be good news for Cam Skattebo, assuming Skattebo is healthy.

    Chargers WR Brenen Thompson (undisclosed) was seen practicing on Sunday.

    Thompson took first- and second-team reps in last Thursday’s preseason game against the 49ers. Chargers Nos. 2 and 2 WRs Quentin Johnston and Tre’ Harris were held out with what are believed to be minor injuries. Thompson eventually checked out of the game and entered the blue medical tent before being taken back to the locker room. He sported a yellow jersey today, which ESPN’s Kris Rhim dubbed the “working through something” jersey. He was likely a limited participant today. Thompson could be anything from a mid-to-late-season FLEX option to a part-time player stuck in a fantasy-unfriendly role. Keep an eye on his development and recovery.

    The Mercury News’ Cam Inman reports that 49ers WR Mike Evans (quad) left practice early as a “precautionary” measure.

    It would be really nice to see Evans consistently practice in full at this point, but both Inman and ESPN’s Nick Wagoner appear mostly unconcerned by today’s development. Per Wagoner, Evans stopped practicing after running a deep route on Sunday. Evans “seemed to be moving fine” after exiting. Wagoner adds that it is “clear he and the Niners want to be cautious to get him to the regular season ready to go.” Evans’ soft tissue concerns remain present, but as long as he takes the field on game day, he is a WR2 with WR1 upside.

    According to the California Post’s Vincent Bonsignore, the Raiders “gathered as a team to acknowledge the injury” after Jeanty was helped off the field. ESPN’s Ryan McFadden believes it is a right knee injury. This sounds bad. We will provide an update as soon as possible. Raiders rookie RB Mike Washington is his direct backup and would likely operate as the team’s starter if Jeanty misses time.

    49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (tightness) said taking time off in training camp “was kind of part of the plan from the jump.”

    The most important takeaway is that McCaffrey has resumed practicing. Whether the planned aspect is true or not is secondary. That said, one wonders why the team chose to say their star running back was sidelined by “tightness,” rather than simply telling reporters he was taking veteran rest days, which is quite common for a 30-year-old player. McCaffrey said the team wanted him to “ramp up pretty big” early on, before taking time off, and later initiating another ramp-up period, “so we’re fresh for the duration.” McCaffrey says he feels “fresh” after taking nearly two weeks off. We would hope so. He’s a locked-in RB1 at this time.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Browns coach Todd Monken plans to announce the team’s starting quarterback on Monday.

    Second-year Browns QB Shedeur Sanders outplayed veteran QB Deshaun Watson on Saturday. Watson then followed up his poor performance with an ill-advised press conference, in which he briefly touched on the fan base’s “disrespectful” reaction to his 2024 Achilles tendon rupture, among other things. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported earlier today that the team must decide whether Watson is “in a good enough space to be the leader for this team,” adding that Sanders’ “presence” and “aura” have helped him curry favor with people in the Browns’ organization. At the end of the day, Sanders is likely the better bet to provide the requisite passing game stability for a couple of Browns’ pass catchers to maintain weekly starting consideration in fantasy, though Sanders himself is unlikely to be anything more than a QB2 in superflex leagues.

The season opener is exactly three weeks away, so delaying the decision by a week might be fine. Nabers is seemingly on track to face the Cowboys in Week 1.

    Chargers WR Tre’ Harris (undisclosed) was limited on Saturday.

    Harris missed a few practices last week with an undisclosed injury, and the team kept him inactive for Thursday’s preseason game against the 49ers. Reports on the matter have been sparse, but it appears as though Saturday’s limited session was his first action since the week prior. According to ESPN’s Kris Rhim, Harris snagged “a bunch of catches” before exiting team drills and spent “most of the day” working off to the side with Chargers trainers. The Athletic’s Daniel Popper has viewed Chargers WR Quentin Johnston as the team’s No. 2 wide receiver. Johnston dealt with a minor ankle injury last week, but Rhim says Johnston looks “healthy” after observing him come down with “a leaping touchdown grab during a red zone period.” Harris is attempting to unseat him, yet would still warrant a late-round fantasy draft pick even if he begins the season in his current No. 3 role.
