John Harbaugh Denies Benching Cam Skattebo After Giants’ Loss To Saints

Appears on track to start Harris is expected to serve as the Giants' starting running back in Sunday's game against the Saints, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact As Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com notes, the Giants plan to shake up their running-back rotation in Week 6 after lead option Cam Skattebo fumbled four times (losing one) and averaged 3.6 yards per carry through the first five games. Though Harris looks poised to start and should take on a larger role overall after averaging seven touches per game over the prior four contests, he could be part of a messy four-man committee that includes Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary. As such, it's difficult to include Harris in fantasy lineups with much confidence, especially while he's struggled to find open running room in his own right. Harris enters Sunday's contest having matched Skattebo with an average of 3.6 YPC and a lost fumble while seeing far less involvement than Skattebo in the passing game (one catch for five yards on one target over 50 total snaps).

Could poach snaps from Skattebo Harris had a "pretty even split in reps" this week with starting running back Cam Skattebo and could be in store for more snaps and touches than usual in Sunday's game against the...

Impact Skattebo has served as the Giants' lead back through the first five games but is averaging just 3.6 yards per carry and has already fumbled four times (losing one). As a result of Skattebo's ongoing struggles, the Giants may be looking to scale back his workload to open up more work for the likes of Harris and Tyrone Tracy, the latter of whom has reclaimed duties as the team's preferred third-down back. Coming off an Achilles injury that cut short his 2025 campaign with the Chargers, Harris hasn't shown much explosiveness through his first four games in New York, averaging 3.6 yards per carry as well while being a relative non-factor in the passing game (one catch for five yards on one target). Even with the prospect of more touches in Week 6, Harris doesn't make for an attractive option in fantasy lineups.

Impact Harris saw half the carries of Cam Skattebo as the Giants' primary relief option in Sunday's contest. The running back coughed up the football to Mack Wilson on the Cardinals' 42-yard line in the fourth quarter when the score was 27-24 Giants. The Giants' defense held strong to close out the contest despite Harris' mistake.

Operates as RB2 vs. Tennessee Harris turned nine carries into 52 yards during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Impact Harris finished as a close second to Cam Skattebo (60) in rushing yards Sunday, but the former needed 11 less carries and averaged 5.8 yards per rush in the Giants' Week 3 win. Harris saw his usage on offense increase compared to Week 2 in what was his debut with the Giants, and it looks like he's settled in as the team's RB2 behind Skattebo and ahead of both Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary. Up next is a Week 4 road tilt against the Cardinals.

Logs four carries in NYG debut Harris turned four carries into six yards during the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday.

Impact Harris was a healthy scratch for Week 1 against the Cowboys, but the sixth-year pro suited up for Monday's loss. He ended up playing eight offensive snaps, well behind Cam Skattebo (34) and Devin Singletary (15), though noticeably ahead of Tyrone Tracy (one). Harris figures to be the Giants' RB3 for the time being, though his role would expand if one or both of Skattebo and Singletary were to miss time. Up next for the Giants is a Week 3 home tilt against the Titans on Sunday.

Active for Week 2 Harris is active for Monday's game against the Rams, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Impact Harris was a healthy scratch for Week 1 against the Cowboys, but the sixth-year pro will suit up for Monday's road game in Los Angeles. Cam Skattebo will lead the Giants' backfield and Devin Singletary should serve as the team's change-of-pace back, but Harris could see more snaps on offense than Tyrone Tracy, given that the latter coughed up a fumble last week against Dallas.

May be active Monday Harris has a chance to make his Giants debut Monday at the Rams, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Harris was a healthy scratch Week 1 against the Cowboys, but with fellow RB Tyrone Tracy fumbling on his second offensive snap and not seeing the field thereafter, New York may be ready to see what the former can give them in its second game of the campaign. Cam Skattebo is the unquestioned No. 1 option out of the backfield, and Devin Singletary served adequately in a complementary role in the season opener, but if Harris is active Monday, the 6-foot-1, 232-pounder could get some reps in at least short-yardage situations.
