Newer update on Najee Harris: Tyrone Tracy scores, works back into Giants' rotation in Week 6 vs. Saints

Najee Harris returns to practice Thursday after personal issue

The Giants running back was back on the field as a full participant after missing the first practice of the week.

By Cole Hartwell

Giants running back Najee Harris returned to practice Thursday, fully participating after missing the first practice of the week because of a personal issue, according to Yahoo Sports and USA Today.

What happened

Harris was listed as a non-injury participant on Thursday, per Yahoo Sports. He had missed the first practice of the week due to that personal matter before returning to the field.

Context

Harris has played three games this season, totaling 8.8 PPR points on 22 carries for 88 rushing yards. He has played just 18% of the snaps and is the RB2 behind Cam Skattebo, who leads the Giants backfield with 44.2 PPR points in four games.

Depth chart

Cam Skattebo remains the Giants’ RB1 despite a shoulder issue that has him listed as questionable by Sleeper. Devin Singletary is third on the depth chart with 14.7 PPR points in two games, while Tyrone Tracy is fourth with -0.4 points.

What’s next

The Giants visit the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Sleeper projects Harris to score 6.8 PPR points in that game.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Harris’ return to practice is a good sign for his Week 5 availability, but his role is limited. He has only 8.8 PPR points in three games and is seeing just 18% of snaps. Even if Cam Skattebo’s shoulder injury limits him, Harris hasn’t shown enough to be trusted in lineups. He is better left on benches or the waiver wire in most leagues. Devin Singletary could see more work if Skattebo sits, but Harris remains the second option.

Quick answers

Will Najee Harris play in Week 5?

Harris fully practiced Thursday, and there is no report that he will miss the game against Washington.
