Draft note

by John Paulsen

Prior to the Draft, this looked like the perfect landing spot for Harris, who has averaged 319 touches per season and has never missed a game. However, the Chargers drafted Omarion Hampton in the first round, giving him the likely edge to lead this backfield in touches. Harris’s efficiency is nothing to write home about--4.0 yards per carry, 27th (out of 46) in yards after contact per attempt, 17th in broken tackles per attempt--but he is a solid dual-threat who can carry the load if necessary.

Chargers RB Najee Harris sustains eye injury, expected to be ready for regular season

Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris sustained a superficial eye injury at a Fourth of July event but is expected to be ready for the 2025 NFL season, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Thursday.

Harris' agent, Doug Hendrickson, said a fireworks mishap resulted in injuries to his client and multiple people attending the event.

"Najee Harris was present at a 4th of July event where a fireworks mishap resulted in injuries to several attendees," Hendrickson said in a statement, via Rapoport. "Najee sustained a superficial eye injury during the incident, but is fully expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season."

Fantasy Impact:

Harris is "likely" to miss the start of training camp, but that's about all the follow-up news we've been allotted to this point. Hampton was already going to give the veteran a run for his money, but the rookie could very well end up as the lead back heading into Week 1, and if it goes well, he might not give it up. He is currently projected as a fantasy RB2.

PIT RB Najee Harris - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

In a trailing game script, we saw more Jaylen Warren than Najee Harris against Baltimore. The one thing you had been counting on with Harris was that he would have the dominant side of the split, but as we've seen all season Warren continues to be more efficient and also saw more work than Harris. It's a bit of a worrying sign for Harris.

The Chiefs are 1st aFPA against running backs this season, so a touchdown-or-bust Harris becomes even more of a risk in your lineups this week. He's an RB3/flex type play this week with a low floor and limited ceiling. Given the option, I'd rather have Warren this week than Harris. Harris profiles better in standard leagues versus PPR and would likely look elsewhere in PPR.
