Giants | Najee Harris will contribute Fri Aug 21, 10:42 AM
New York Giants RB Najee Harris was brought in under the premise that he's going to be a significant contributor, even though a source told ESPN he signed a one-year minimum salary $1.215 million deal with no guaranteed money. The Giants' signing of Harris wasn't in direct response to RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s preseason gaffe. The team had been in contact with Harris' representative for months, and the workout was scheduled last week, sources told ESPN.
| Footballguys view: Tyrone Tracy was listed as the first team back along with Cam Skattebo on the first depth chart, so the Giants weren't sold on Skattebo being a true lead back yet early in the preseason. It's not a stretch to see Harris as the #2 back behind Skattebo, and taking more work from him than Tracy would have. Harris is on the borderline of draftable in typical leagues, and Skattebo is a shakier fourth round pick. |

49ers | Eight carries for Kaelon Black Fri Aug 21, 01:32 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black ran the ball eight times for 33 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Black also had some excellent pass blocking reps in a great sign for his chances to be the #2 back behind Christian McCaffrey to open the season. His main competition, Jordan James, is still out with a rib injury. McCaffrey has been missing practice with "soreness" that some have speculated is contract driven. We don't see a reason to move McCaffrey down yet (but we felt that way two years ago) but we do see a reason to move Black onto our list of late round targets. |

Link to story Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. impresses again Fri Aug 21, 12:36 AM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. carried the ball nine times for a game-high 56 yards against the Houston Texans on Thursday, Aug. 20. Washington also caught a pair of passes for 18 yards.
| Footballguys view: Washington is moving up fantasy draft boards with each passing week and big run in the preseason. Ashton Jeanty is still worth a pick at ADP near the 1-2 turn of drafts on the hopes that the Raiders running game becomes functional under Klint Kubiak, but Washington has exceeded expectations already, showing patience, vision, and footwork to get his rare size/speed combination into play at the second and third levels. He is one of the most valuable backups to take in redraft leagues and his dynasty value is definitely into the first round of remaining rookie drafts. |

Dolphins | Quinn Ewers progressing Thu Aug 20, 06:16 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers (groin) was able to do some throwing Wednesday, Aug. 19, and is making progress in his recovery, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: As the primary backup to Malik Willis, the Dolphins are going to be wisely cautious with Ewers. He was injured last Friday and is back throwing in less than a week. Groin injuries can be tricky, but it sounds like he should be ready to hold a clipboard and be "one play away" come Week 1. |
