Najee Harris News
Wednesday, July 15, 5:26 AM
With training camps set to open at the end of the month, opportunities could soon begin to arise for some of the veteran free agents who remain unsigned, and a player near the top of the available list of running backs is Najee Harris. The former Pro Bowler began his career with four straight 1,000-yard campaigns for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but how much is left in the tank remains unknown after he tore his Achilles only three games into his 2025 stint with the Los Angeles Chargers. Harris signed a one-year deal with the Chargers last offseason, but a bizarre eye injury limited his availability throughout training camp, and he handled only 15 carries before his season came to an unceremonious ending. With the start of padded practices in training camp comes the unfortunate reality of injury risk, and should a team face an unexpected depth chart shake-up, Harris could be one of the first running backs on standby. Currently RotoBaller's RB69, the 28-year-old veteran still has a chance to work his way into the closing rounds of 2026 drafts.

Trey Benson News
Thursday, July 16, 12:48 PM
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson finally had a shot at replacing James Conner last September, then his own knee injury erased the opportunity. A meniscus procedure ended his season after four games. He had been productive in that brief run, taking 29 carries for 160 yards and catching 13 of 16 targets for another 64, but Arizona spent the offseason building around other backs. Conner reworked his deal to stay. Tyler Allgeier signed for two years. Then the Cardinals used the third overall pick on Jeremiyah Love, who is expected to rise to the top of Mike LaFleur's depth chart. Benson was still rehabbing during the offseason program, though the team expects him back for training camp. Even healthy, finding weekly work will be difficult. Love, Allgeier, and Conner are the obvious top three, and Benson has appeared in only 17 games across two seasons. The 4.9 career yards per carry keep a little intrigue alive, but this is not an automatic buy-low. Contenders cannot count on him, and rebuilders should be willing to move him for a useful return rather than wait for the depth chart to get even tighter.
