Najee Harris Could Play Week 1

Thursday, August 28, 9:26 AM

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that running back Najee Harris (eye) could play in Week 1, according to the team's official website. The first-year Charger returned to practice on Wednesday and has not been placed on the reserve/non-football injury list, opening up the possibility he is active for the season opener against Kansas City. Harris sustained the injury during a July 4 fireworks accident and had not practiced since June. When healthy, he's likely to split work with rookie Omarion Hampton.

Jaydon Blue Listed as No. 3 Back on Latest Unofficial Depth Chart

Friday, August 29, 9:18 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue (ankle) is listed behind Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders on the team's most recent unofficial depth chart. The rookie is currently battling an ankle injury, and his availability for the opener versus the Eagles is up in the air. However, even if Blue is cleared for the Thursday night NFC East showdown, he isn't expected to see enough snaps to be relevant from a fantasy standpoint. The 21-year-old, who was the No. 149 overall pick in April's NFL Draft, appears to be in line to get more work at some point during the 2025 campaign, giving him value as a viable stash option for managers. Blue might see action sooner if Williams or Sanders struggle or go down with an injury in the near future. For now, managers should at least consider him questionable for Week 1, although his status against Philly won't matter much either way.
