Najee Harris News
Friday, August 28, 8:06 AM
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler is expecting New York Giants running back Najee Harris to get his first game action with the team in their preseason finale on Friday night against the New York Jets, which will be his first action in the NFL since tearing his Achilles with the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3 of last year. Harris is fully recovered from his Achilles tendon tear and could be a significant part of the Giants' backfield in 2026, even with Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. already on the roster. The 28-year-old former 24th overall pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021 from Alabama had four straight 1,000-yard seasons in the Steel City to begin his NFL career before playing in only three games with the Bolts in 2025 before tearing his Achilles. Harris probably is not going to have much, if any, standalone fantasy value with the G-Men unless one of Skattebo or Tracy misses time with an injury, but he is an experienced RB to have as an RB3 as insurance. Right now, RotoBaller has Harris ranked as the No. 60 fantasy RB for the 2026 season.

Kyren Williams News
Thursday, August 27, 10:41 AM
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams remains the lead option in a high-powered offense, but Blake Corum's continued rise puts some pressure on his 2026 workload ceiling. Williams started all 17 games last season and rushed 259 times for 1,252 yards and 10 touchdowns, adding 36 catches for 281 yards and three more scores. Corum became more involved late in 2025 and carried that momentum into camp, where the Rams repeatedly highlighted his improved explosiveness and agility. He was again one of the offensive standouts during the team's final open practice. Williams still produced at an RB1 level as Corum's role grew, finishing as the RB10 over the final six weeks while Corum was RB17 during that stretch. He also remains the better receiving option and continues to work with Matthew Stafford and the first-team offense. The concern is not that Williams has lost the backfield. It is that another season near 300 touches looks harder to project with Corum earning more work. RotoBaller currently ranks Williams RB13, keeping him firmly in fantasy-starter territory, but with a little more workload risk than before.
