The New York Giants cut veteran running back Najee Harris, leaving Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary on the roster. Skattebo has logged 294 yards on 81 carries (3.6 avg) with one touchdown but also four fumbles (one lost). The article argues that the release doesn’t automatically make Skattebo the lead back and calls for a clear early‑game role against Houston to assess ball security and decision‑making. It stresses that a smaller backfield committee can still underperform and that the Giants must clarify rotations rather than use them as excuses for continued offensive struggles.
Less than a month into his time with the New York Giants, J.J. McCarthy already has a clear opportunity to start proving the Vikings wrong.
The New York Giants have already had quite the up and down season through six games. New York is 3-2-1 on the season after losing Jaxon Dart for the season in addition to a platoon of defensive injuries. Fortunately, the Giants have been able to stay alive and keep their playoff hopes intact as they […]

Eagles GM Howie Roseman trims the RB roster, waiving Jaydon Blue, Ian Wheeler and Carson Steele, hinting that Saquon Barkley may soon return from a hamstring injury that sidelined him since Week 4. Barkley has 182 rushing yards on 5.1 yards per carry this season, and his comeback could revive Philadelphia’s struggling ground game—currently fourth‑worst in the league and 0‑for‑18 on blitzed play‑action. With backup QB Tanner McKee set to start and a Thursday injury report due, the timing aligns before a crucial matchup against a Dallas defense that allows the most rushing yards in the NFL.
The New York Giants will start rookie J.J. McCarthy at quarterback against the Houston Texans in Week 7, overriding former Giant Russell Wilson’s advice to give Jameis Winston another chance. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler broke the news, noting that coach John Harbaugh opts for McCarthy despite Wilson’s CBS Sports comments about Winston’s experience and McCarthy’s 243-yard fourth‑quarter performance. The move adds another twist to the Giants’ QB controversy in the 2026 season as they aim to capitalize on their own strengths while facing a C.J. Stroud‑led Texans offense.
The New York Giants need clarity in their backfield, not another week of rotating through uncertainty. With Cam Skattebo losing opportunities because of fumbles and Najee Harris released, trading for Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard would give the offense a credible veteran solution. This should not become an expensive rescue mission. Pollard is a […]

According to Dan Duggan, Giants CB Paulson Adebo returned to practice on Wednesday, meaning New York has officially designated him to return from injured reserve. This opens Adebo’s 21-day window to practice before being activated. Adebo suffered a knee injury in Week 1 and was subsequently placed on injured reserve. Adebo, 27, was a two-year […]

Analyst Doug Rush says the New York Giants should pursue two Indianapolis Colts stars—running back Jonathan Taylor and All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson—to fix their sagging offense. While Taylor’s price tag may be steep, Nelson, a three‑time First‑Team All‑Pro and eight‑time Pro Bowler, could instantly upgrade the Giants’ interior line, improve pass protection and open running lanes. The trade idea also revisits the 2018 draft, when the Giants passed on Nelson for Saquon Barkley. Acquiring Nelson would be a bold statement for New York’s rebuilding plan.
The (3-2-1) New York Giants play against the (2-4) Houston Texans on the road at NRG Stadium in Week 7 of the regular season.

The New York Giants will hand the ball to 23‑year‑old J.J. McCarthy for their Week 7 road game against the Houston Texans, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. After Jaxson Dart’s season‑ending ACL tear, veteran Jameis Winston (2‑1‑1 as starter) was benched following two interceptions in the Week 6 loss to the Saints. McCarthy, the 2024 first‑round pick traded for with a fifth‑rounder, entered that game in the fourth quarter, throwing 243 yards and sparking a near‑comeback from a 24‑point deficit. Giants hope his dual‑threat skill set can stabilize the offense against Houston’s pass rush.
New Orleans Saints cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. earns NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors after a breakout game in Week 6 against the New York Giants. Emerson helped the Saints secure a 34–27 win, contributing two of the team's four takeaways, including an interception and a forced fumble. The award marks the first Saints weekly conference accolade of the 2026 season and follows Emerson’s move from the Cleveland Browns, where he was a 2022 third‑round pick, to New Orleans in April. He now totals 13 tackles, two interceptions, four passes defended and a forced fumble in five games.

The New York Giants will hand quarterback J.J. McCarthy his first start on Sunday against the Houston Texans, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. McCarthy rose from a record‑setting 11‑minute relief effort in a 34‑27 loss to the New Orleans Saints, tossing 243 yards—the most ever in that span—plus a touchdown and an interception. He led three quick scoring drives before falling short on a final fourth‑and‑1. Veteran Jameis Winston returns to backup after a 152‑yard, 1‑TD, 2‑INT outing. The Texans, who give up the league’s sixth‑most passing yards, present a favorable debut stage, and fantasy owners may consider McCarthy a low‑end QB2 in superflex formats.

The New York Giants, sitting 3‑2‑1 in the NFC East, are reportedly eyeing a running back upgrade before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. With coach John Harbaugh losing confidence in Cam Skattebo and Tyron Tracy Jr. and the recent release of Najee Harris, Giants scouts are rumored to target Jonathan Taylor or Saquon Barkley. Indianapolis, fresh off a GM firing and a 2‑4 start, may entertain a trade, though Taylor’s recent extension complicates matters. Meanwhile, Eagles insiders doubt a Barkley deal is likely, citing his marquee status and Jalen Hurts’ injury. The article weighs each team’s willingness to move these stars.

The Saints enter Week 7 in Paris needing a win after a near‑disaster loss to the Giants, and rookie standouts could be the key. Wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, who traveled with the team, may finally see snaps and could eclipse Bryce Lance as the top rookie WR. Defensive tackle Christen Miller, who helped limit New York’s run game, will face Pittsburgh’s powerful rush led by Jaylen Warren. Rookie OG Jeremiah Wright impressed when he replaced an injured Cesar Ruiz, sparking the run game, and is slated to start. Other rookies—TE Oscar Delp, WR Barion Brown, RB CJ Donaldson, OT Mason Murphy, and DB Lorenzo Styles Jr.—each showed flashes that could impact the Steelers matchup.
