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.

J.K. Dobbins Offers RB2 Upside vs. Chiefs Week 1

Saturday, September 12, 2:52 PM

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins will open the regular season in Kansas City on Monday Night Football. The 27-year-old was the RB18 overall in PPR formats before suffering a Lisfranc foot injury to end his 2025 season. This year, Dobbins will attempt to hold off fourth-round rookie Jonah Coleman as the lead back on early downs. Coleman is expected to be Dobbins' backup but has already become a fantasy favorite within the community. Dobbins is RotoBaller's PPR RB25 against a Chiefs defense that saw multiple key players leave the team in free agency. However, they allowed the 10th fewest rushing yards and the 12th fewest rushing touchdowns last season. Dobbins should be viewed as a low-end RB2 and could sneak into the top 20 scoring running backs if he can find the end zone in Week 1.
