Najee Harris' Usage Worth Monitoring in Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 6:26 AM

New York Giants running back Najee Harris had nine carries for 52 yards in the 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. With running back Devin Singletary a healthy scratch in Week 3, Harris saw an expanded role, playing 21% of the snaps and becoming the clear backup to starter Cam Skattebo. While Skattebo had 23 touches against the Titans, he was inefficient, averaging 3.0 yards per carry compared to Harris' 5.8. This could be an interesting backfield to watch in Week 4 to see if Harris could cut into Skattebo's massive workload. They face an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed the fifth-most rushing yards in 2026 and was among the worst in the NFL in 2025. While he is not yet a startable option in fantasy leagues, his workload will be one to monitor closely in Week 4.

Tank Bigsby to Undergo Core Muscle Surgery, Set to Hit Injured Reserve

Monday, October 5, 1:08 PM

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (core) is set to undergo core muscle surgery following the injury he suffered during Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Rapoport noted that the running back will be placed on the injured reserve and is hoping to return in six weeks. Bigsby was projected to see a potentially large share of the backfield opportunities as top running back Saquon Barkley exited Sunday's contest with a hamstring injury. However, with Bigsby now set to miss at least the next four games and Barkley in danger of missing time, Will Shipley now sits alone on the team's depth chart. In relief on Sunday, Shipley took six carries for 23 yards and is viewed as a priority pickup across all formats ahead of Week 5.
