  • Primary Driver: Giants' running back situation undergoes a significant shift with Najee Harris poised to take on a larger role.
  • Source Integrity: Verified strictly against primary headline reporting under zero-hallucination protocols.

Najee Harris is expected to take a larger role in the Giants backfield, according to NBC Sports. This development comes after the Giants made a roster move that hints at a possible plan for running backs against the Saints, as Sports Illustrated first reported.

This is further supported by CBS Sports, which notes that Harris could poach snaps from Skattebo. Yahoo Sports, meanwhile, highlights the potential for Skattebo to run all over the Saints, but this does not necessarily contradict the reports of Harris taking on a larger role.

The current state of affairs is that Harris is expected to take on a more prominent role in the Giants backfield, with Skattebo potentially facing a reduced workload.
