Free-agent WR Mike Williams (Steelers) is signing with the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year deal worth up to $6 million, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Williams will reunite with Justin Herbert, and he could provide a downfield weapon for the Chargers' offense. Injuries have been an issue for Williams, but he will be worth grabbing later in drafts.

Updating a previous report, impending free-agent RB Najee Harris (Steelers) reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year contract worth $5.25 million - and worth a maximum of $9.25 million - with the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday, March 10.
Huddle Up: While Harris should be considered the favorite to lead the team in carries in 2025, the size of this contract suggests the Chargers won't hesitate to take a running back in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft. He should be the team's primary goal-line back, which should mean more now that he is in a better offense. It is too early to say for sure if he can be considered a viable low-end RB2 option in fantasy, however.

Impending free-agent RB Najee Harris (Steelers) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers Monday, March 10, worth as much as $9.25 million, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Harris likely will be the main running back for the Chargers next season and should see a majority of the carries in the running game. He has been productive since entering the league and can be a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in fantasy leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris is expected to command at least $8 million per season on his next contract, which is a number the team is not willing to match, according to PennLive's Nick Farabaugh.
Huddle Up: Farabaugh notes that the Las Vegas Raiders are the team that has been mentioned the most as an interested party. The Raiders make a lot of sense and could use a durable back like Harris in new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly's offense. It is a good bet that wherever Harris lands in free agency, he will get enough work to remain a RB2 for fantasy purposes.

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent RB Najee Harris' representatives talked with the Steelers at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine about his future with the team, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac.
Huddle Up: Harris has rushed for at least 1,000 yards in each of his first four seasons in the NFL and likely will continue to be the starting running back if he returns to the Steelers. He can be at least a No. 3 running back if fantasy leagues if he starts for a team in 2025.

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent RB Najee Harris did not have his fifth-year team option picked up by the team last offseason, but Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette believes there is "a strong possibility" that he could be signed to a new contract before the start of free agency on March 12.
Huddle Up: As Dulac points out, there have been 51 1,000-yard rushers since Harris was drafted in 2021. Harris is the only one of the group who has reached the milestone mark in all four years, which speaks to his productivity, durability and dependability. With the upcoming draft class expected to be very good at the running back position, Harris might be wise to sign a deal with the team as close to the start of free agency as possible. If he stays put, he figures to remain a low-end RB2 option in fantasy.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert had to scramble 31 times during the 2024 season and averaged 10 yards per scramble.
Huddle Up: Herbert rushed for a career-high 306 yards this season, but his 3,870 passing yards was one of his lowest totals since entering the NFL. He likely will be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues in 2025.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (thigh, illness) is active for the wild-card game against the Houston Texans on Saturday, Jan. 11.
Huddle Up: Johnston went nuclear in the final game of the regular season, but he remains a boom-or-bust DFS option against the Texans.
Posted 1/09/2025 9:58 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (illness, thigh) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: Johnston returned to practice Thursday, so he had a decent chance to play against the Houston Texans. He will see a good amount of targets if he plays and can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/09/2025 3:02 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey became one of seven rookie receivers since 2015 to finish with at least 80 receptions and 1,100 yards.
Huddle Up: McConkey closed the year by topping 80 receiving yards in six of the last seven games, establishing himself as the steadiest option in the Chargers' passing attack. He should be viewed as a WR1 heading into postseason contests.
Posted 1/09/2025 12:06 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (illness, thigh) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation over the next few days if see if Johnston will be available for the Wild Card playoff game. He is coming off an outstanding Week 18 performance has been targeted at least six times in each of the last five games. He can be at least a flex option in leagues if he plays.
Posted 1/08/2025 3:31 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (thigh) was limited in practice on Tuesday, Jan. 7.
Huddle Up: Johnston appears on the practice report a couple of days after ripping up the secondary of the Las Vegas Raiders for 186 yards on 13 catches. He did not appear to be limited in any way during that contest, so it seems likely the Chargers are just managing his reps ahead of their road game versus the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round.
Posted 1/06/2025 3:35 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers TE Will Dissly ended up with five receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 18 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Huddle Up: Dissly spent time this season as a borderline low-end TE1 or top TE2 in most fantasy leagues in the regular season. However, in postseason leagues he is certainly a decent enough low-end TE1 in most leagues. The Chargers travel to meet the Houston Texans Saturday in the wild-card round.
Posted 1/06/2025 3:31 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey ended up with five receptions for 95 yards on eight targets in Week 18 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Huddle Up: McConkey had at least five receptions in each of his final seven games, and at least 83 yards in six of those seven outings. He finished with 77 receptions, 1,054 yards and seven scores, and he is a legit WR1 in all fantasy postseason leagues. The Chargers travel to meet the Houston Texans Saturday in the wild-card round.
Posted 1/06/2025 3:26 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston ended up with 13 receptions for 186 yards in Week 18 against the Las Vegas Raiders, while he was targeted 14 times.
Huddle Up: Q-Money had a giant game, and he will look to carry that momentum into the AFC wild-card game against the Houston Texans on the road Saturday. Normally he is more of a WR4 or flex fantasy option, but in postseason fantasy leagues he could be a low-end WR2 or flex option while serving as a decent mid-tier DFS play.
Posted 1/06/2025 3:23 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers RB Hassan Haskins rushed 12 times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 against the Las Vegas Raiders, while he was not targeted in the pass game.
Huddle Up: Haskins was seeing a bigger role in the regular-season finale, but he will likely see a reduced part in the offseason in the wild-card round if Gus Edwards is back with J.K. Dobbins in the Los Angeles backfield Saturday in Houston.
Posted 1/06/2025 3:13 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed 28-of-36 passes for 346 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Las Vegas Raiders, while running four times for 42 yards.
Huddle Up: Herbert did a good job single-handedly lifting the Bolts to their 11th win of the season, and the fifth seed. The Chargers will travel to meet the Houston Texans in the wild-card round on Saturday afternoon. He is a tremendous QB1 in all fantasy postseason leagues and as a DFS option.
Posted 1/05/2025 5:27 am GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Williams caught his only target for 25 yards in a 19-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Williams continues to be an afterthought in the Pittsburgh offense. He has nine total catches in nine games since joining the Steelers.
Posted 1/05/2025 4:45 am GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris (head) was evaluated for a concussion during the Week 18 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he returned and finished with 12 carries for 36 yards and four catches for 20 yards in a 19-17 loss.
Huddle Up: Harris snuck over 1,000 yards for the year, but his production has been more volume based than anything. He is a safe bet for touches entering the postseason, but with the Steelers struggling, Harris may not be around more than one round.
Posted 1/03/2025 10:59 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (toe) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 3, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: McConkey should receive his normal workload this week and has posted at least 80 yards in five of the last six games. He has become a must-start option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/02/2025 11:34 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (toe) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 2.
Huddle Up: McConkey seems to have a chance to play in the regular season finale, but fantasy players will know more in the next day or two. He is the main option in the passing game when healthy and should be a starting option in all leagues if active.
Posted 1/02/2025 1:30 am GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (toe) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 1.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if McConkey will be able to play in the regular season finale. He can be a starting option in all leagues if he is active for the game.
Posted 12/31/2024 9:06 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott was waived on Tuesday, Dec. 31.
Huddle Up: While the Cowboys may be parting with Elliott now to give him time to catch on with a playoff contender, it is just as likely this may be the end of the line for the former two-time rushing champion. He ends his second stint with the team with 226 yards and three touchdowns on 74 carries.
Posted 12/28/2024 9:23 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers TE Will Dissly totaled two catches for 21 yards in the Week 17 win over the New England Patriots on Saturday, Dec. 28.
Huddle Up: Dissly made a small impact in his first game back after missing the last two. In the last three games he's played, Dissly has just four catches for 40 yards. He can't be trusted in lineups moving forward.
Posted 12/28/2024 9:20 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Derius Davis recorded two catches for 29 yards and a touchdown and added one carry for -3 yards in the Week 17 win over the New England Patriots on Saturday, Dec. 28.
Huddle Up: Davis has now scored in back-to-back games, but simply doesn't have a big enough role to be trusted in lineups.
Posted 12/28/2024 9:13 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston totaled five receptions for 48 yards in the Week 17 win over the New England Patriots on Saturday, Dec. 28.
Huddle Up: Johnston trailed only Ladd McConkey in receiving yards, receptions and targets and is clearly the No. 2 option in the offense. He's barely on the flex radar moving forward, and there's a chance he doesn't play in Week 18 after the Chargers clinched their spot in the postseason.
Posted 12/28/2024 9:10 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey had eight receptions for 94 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 17 win over the New England Patriots.
Huddle Up: McConkey's sensational rookie season continues, and he's now over 1,000 yards for the campaign. McConkey remains a strong WR2 play, although there's a chance he sits in Week 18 after the Chargers clinched a playoff berth on Saturday.
Posted 12/28/2024 9:03 pm GMT
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed 26 of 38 passes for 281 yards and three touchdowns and added three carries for 12 yards in the Week 17 win over the New England Patriots on Saturday, Dec. 28.
Huddle Up: Herbert did exactly what we expected him to against a bad Patriots defense, moving the ball with impunity. He'll be a borderline QB1 play next week against the Las Vegas Raiders, but the Chargers could choose to sit him after clinching a playoff berth.
