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.

RJ Harvey News
Tuesday, August 25, 7:32 PM
Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey is evolving into a "complete back," offensive coordinator Davis Webb told Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. Harvey impressed as a rookie last season, scoring 12 touchdowns and ranking as the RB20 in PPR leagues despite finishing with fewer than 1,000 rushing yards. He demonstrated impressive versatility last year, and Webb's comments would seem to indicate that Harvey has taken another step forward this preseason. It's a bit of a crowded backfield between Harvey, JK Dobbins, and Jonah Coleman, but Harvey seemingly has the highest upside of that group. If he plays a full 17-game slate this year, he should have no problem eclipsing 1,000 yards while pushing for another 12+ touchdowns. He ranks as the RB35 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football draft rankings, which is four spots behind Dobbins and 17 spots ahead of Coleman.
