Najee Harris a Healthy Scratch for Season Opener

Sunday, September 13, 3:05 PM

New York Giants running back Najee Harris (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Harris signed with the Giants last month, offering depth behind Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary. There had been some speculation that Harris might jump as high as No. 2 on the depth chart, but for now, he's the odd man out of this four-man backfield. The 28-year-old had four consecutive top-24 fantasy finishes in Pittsburgh, but then he went to the Chargers last year and suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in Week 3. Harris should remain off the fantasy radar as long as Skattebo and Tracy are healthy.

Bam Knight's Dynasty Value Has Run Dry in Crowded Running Back Room

Wednesday, May 27, 5:24 AM

Arizona running back Bam Knight took advantage of a depleted Cardinals depth chart in 2025, finishing as the fantasy RB24 or better in five different weeks while leading the team with four rushing touchdowns. Knight signed a one-year deal to return to Arizona this offseason, but with an entirely revamped running back room in the desert, any meaningful contributions in 2026 will likely be made on special teams. James Conner and Trey Benson played in a combined seven games in 2025, and while both are expected to be healthy heading into the season, they themselves will be battling for the third and fourth spots on the Cardinals' newly stacked depth chart after the team signed Tyler Allgeier in free agency and spent the third pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on future bell cow Jeremiyah Love. With no realistic path to playing time, Knight has fallen to RB93 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings and is no longer a player worth rostering.
