Najee Harris released by Giants after questioning team's RB plan

The New York Giants are releasing running back Najee Harris, according to multiple reports.

By Cole Hartwell

The New York Giants are releasing running back Najee Harris, according to multiple reports.

Harris has 11.4 PPR points this season through Week 6 on 31 carries for 99 rushing yards and one catch for five receiving yards in five games. He is second on the Giants’ running back depth chart behind Cam Skattebo, according to Sleeper.

Earlier on Oct. 18, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Harris was set to start and likely to have a larger role for Sunday’s game against the Saints, with Skattebo downgraded but still part of the mix. All four running backs were expected to be active.

In Week 6 against the Saints, Harris had 0.2 PPR points on four carries for two rushing yards and played 14% of snaps.

After that game, Harris made comments questioning the team’s coaching decisions, according to multiple reports.

The Giants’ running back depth chart is led by Cam Skattebo, who has 51.3 PPR points this season on 81 carries for 294 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown plus 10 receptions for 79 receiving yards. Tyrone Tracy is next with 23.2 PPR points on 13 carries for 40 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown plus four catches for 52 receiving yards. Devin Singletary has 19.0 PPR points on 13 carries for 39 rushing yards and five catches for 41 receiving yards in three games.

🏈 Fantasy impact

All four Giants running backs have been used in a rotation, and the release of Harris removes one challenger for touches. Cam Skattebo remains the RB1 on the depth chart, but Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary could see more opportunities. Tracy has 23.2 PPR points in six games and is a waiver wire add candidate in deeper leagues, while Singletary has 19.0 PPR points in just three games and could be a flex play if his role expands. Harris can be dropped in all redraft formats.
