NegativeRoleOct 16, 2026
Tyler Higbee expects Harris to remain the primary running back for Pittsburgh despite poor performance, though there's a possibility the team could turn to backup Tracy if Harris continues to underperform; the team's trust in Tracy appears limited after one fumble.PositiveProjectionOct 15, 2026
Harris is expected to return and remains a top-tier running back; even with Warren's increased role, Harris is projected to rank between 7th and 10th among running backs, staying above Ashton Jentry, Braylon Allen, and Bucky Irving. The source ranks him as a top-12 running back even if he plays this week.NegativeRoleOct 15, 2026
Harris is expected to return from injury, which will reduce Jalen Warren's touch volume. Without Harris, Warren was a top-five running back; with Harris back, his ranking drops to a question of whether he remains top-10.NegativeDepth ChartSep 16, 2026
Was made a healthy scratch in Week 1, opening the door for Cam Scadaboo to receive 18 carries. This unexpected benching signals a significant role change and depth chart demotion.PositiveRoleSep 7, 2026
Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports Najee Harris could be anywhere from RB2 to inactive if the Giants don't deem him fully ready to contribute at the opener, but if not ready by week one, Duggan's sense is it won't be long until Harris becomes RB2. From there, workload distribution will depend on performances of Harris and Saquon. Duggan notes it wouldn't surprise him if Harris becomes a lead back at some point this season. Jamie notes Harris could be a waiver wire pickup with value if Saquon doesn't produce early.NegativeRoleSep 4, 2026
Running back drafted in round 13 as part of a late-round running back accumulation strategy; included in the source's plan to find depth at the position through volume late-round selections in a build that intentionally weakens the RB2 position early.PositiveSleeperAug 31, 2026
Najee Harris has looked good in joint practices and preseason, making him a viable late-round flyer and bench stash to monitor early in the season.NegativeRoleAug 31, 2026
The source expresses concern that the Giants' backfield will be muddled, with a mix-and-match approach until injuries or performance dictate a leader. Harris is considered a late-round stash.NegativeRoleAug 19, 2026
The Giants signing Najee Harris is a negative development for Tyrone Tracy and a slight ding to Cam Scadaboo's value, as the team felt the need to bring in outside help despite Tracy's role.
