The New York Giants signed running back Najee Harris to a one-year, $1.2 million contract as they seek depth in the backfield. This move complicates the roles of existing backs Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary. While Skattebo has emerged as the preferred option in training camp, Harris is expected to play a significant role. Tracy, initially positioned for third-down work, may be impacted by Harris' ability to catch passes. The crowded backfield presents challenges for fantasy football owners as the team's dynamics develop further this season.
