Najee Harris News
Saturday, October 17, 7:20 AM
New York Giants running back Najee Harris had five carries for nine yards and one reception for five yards in the 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. With the Giants unable to run the ball against one of the NFL's best run defenses, Harris and the other running backs saw a reduced workload. However, signs may point to the former first-round pick having a larger role moving forward. Starting back Cam Skattebo fumbled four times in his first five games, and his overtime fumble cost the Giants the win. Head coach John Harbaugh left the door open, saying, "We'll see. We'll find out," when asked about making changes at running back. Harris and the Giants should prioritize the run against a New Orleans Saints defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to running backs this season. While he's not a starting option in Week 6, keep an eye on Harris' role this week, as Skattebo's fumbling issues could vacate touches moving forward.

Rachaad White News
Saturday, October 17, 9:55 AM
Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White could have an opportunity to lead the team's backfield in Week 6 with Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) ruled out. White was also present on the injury report this week with a shoulder injury, though he is expected to play after returning to the field in Week 5. White should be expected to share responsibilities with Austin Ekeler (chest), who is also banged up with a chest injury, as well as possibly Jeremy McNichols (quad), who is eligible to be activated off of injured reserve. White's efficiency as a runner has limited his fantasy upside at times, but he is a strong pass catcher and should benefit from running alongside a healthy Jayden Daniels. San Francisco has been exploitable on the ground this season, and opposing running backs are top 10 in PPR points per game against them, giving White legitimate flex appeal for a potential shootout on Monday night.
