RECENT NEWS
New York Giants running back Najee Harris is being released, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, ending his brief stint with the team after he signed in August. Harris had just been moved into the starting lineup for Sunday's 34-27 loss to New Orleans but managed only two yards on four carries. The Giants' running backs combined for 34 yards on 14 attempts, and head coach John Harbaugh has challenged someone to establish himself as the clear lead option. Harris' departure further reshapes a backfield that already has questions around Cam Skattebo, who lost his starting job after repeated fumbling issues and didn't record a touch against the Saints. Tyrone Tracy Jr. made the strongest case for more work Sunday, scoring twice on eight touches, while Devin Singletary added 33 scrimmage yards. Tracy's performance gives him some momentum, but Harris' release doesn't necessarily set a new backfield hierarchy.

FANTASY OUTLOOK
Najee Harris 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: New Lease On Life After Terrible 2025
Najee Harris had a 2025 to forget. He started by injuring his eye during a freak fireworks accident, which ruined his preseason. Then after returning for the regular season, he tore his Achilles tendon in his third game and missed the remainder of the year. So his fantasy stock has never been lower.

Najee Harris had a 2025 to forget. He started by injuring his eye during a freak fireworks accident, which ruined his preseason. Then after returning for the regular season, he tore his Achilles tendon in his third game and missed the remainder of the year. So his fantasy stock has never been lower. But Harris has rehabbed and is ready to go, and the New York Giants saw enough to give him a one-year contract. What fantasy players should not forget is that Harris ran for 1,000 yards in each of the first four years of his career before his disastrous 2025 campaign. He also scored 34 touchdowns over that four-season span. Harris is an above-average inside runner who can barrel into the end zone when near the goal line. He is not a greyhound (no 40-yard runs in his career) and is not going to make many tacklers miss at the point of attack, but he is a serviceable back who can prosper in a run-first offense with an above-average offensive line. With the Giants' RB1 Cam Skattebo recovering from a torn ACL and backup Tyrone Tracy Jr. better off as a complimentary piece, Harris has a chance to be involved in the rotation if he proves to be healthy. Just do not expect him to be worthy of a fantasy spot unless he is put in position to be New York's bell cow ball carrier.less...
