If Cam Skattebo misses time

Najee Harris is listed RB2 on the New York Giants depth chart behind Cam Skattebo. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

No current injury notes available; availability is not independently confirmed.

Proven high-volume NFL starter coming off a torn Achilles, listed as a co-No. 2 with Tracy and Singletary. If he shows he is all the way back he is the one back here with a track record of 250+ carry seasons — the likeliest true lead back if Skattebo went down.
