Huddle Up: The Chargers are certainly not trying to keep Gadsden a secret. While Gadsden is not quite the same freaky athlete that Waller was, it is also not hard to see why Bischoff is so high on him. Bischoff also commented about Gadsden being stronger and a better blocker than they thought he might be, which is about the only thing that could keep him off the field in two tight end sets this year. Tyler Conklin should still be considered the favorite to start in Week 1, but Gadsden could easily emerge as a fantasy factor at some point in 2025.

Huddle Up: Gadsden fell to the fifth round in April's draft despite posting a 73-934-7 line in his final year at Syracuse. Some of the reason for his fall had to do with him being more of a slot-only player in a tight end's body for the Orange. While he appears unlikely to make much of a Year 1 impact behind Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly, he is a player to stash in dynasty since there is a strong chance he could be the clear starter for the Chargers in 2026 for an offensive coordinator who understands the value of tight ends in the passing game.

Huddle Up: Hampton will have to share the backfield with Najee Harris, but the rookie offers a level of explosiveness that Harris can't match. Hampton will likely be capped in the RB2 range unless Harris misses time, but he has RB1 upside in the long term. Hampton has a strong case to be the second player selected in rookie drafts.

Huddle Up: McConkey became the leading receiver for the Chargers this past season and lining at different spots in 2025 should give him some mismatches during games. He should be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: While Ladd McConkey is locked in as the go-to option for Justin Herbert, the rest of the pecking order isn't set in stone. It isn't out of the question that Harris could work his way into a top-three receiver role. He is worth keeping an eye on during training camp.

Huddle Up: Johnston had a respectable sophomore campaign, but drops remain an issue. The Chargers added Mike Williams in free agency and a pair of receivers in the draft, so Johnston is going to have to continue to perform to hold on to his starter status. He is best viewed as a WR4.

Huddle Up: Harris' fantasy stock ticked up for a bit when he signed with the Chargers, but the selection of Omarion Hampton threw cold water on that. Now, the former first-round pick appears ticketed for, at best, a timeshare with the rookie. As Barnwell noted, Harris has been highly inefficient since entering the league, relying on heavy usage (only Derrick Henry has more carries over the last four seasons) to deliver decent production. With fewer touches on the horizon, we'll see if he can do more with less in what, at least on paper, is a more dynamic offense than the one he had in Pittsburgh. A borderline RB2/RB3 most weeks a season ago, the durable Harris looks like more of a low-end RB3 or nice RB4 depth piece heading into 2025.

Huddle Up: While that sounds encouraging, Popper framed it more as Harris' arrival having a positive impact on McConkey rather than the rookie putting up big numbers of his own. We've seen Justin Herbert make things happen with relatively anonymous guys over the years -- don't forget both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams had injury issues -- so Harris is someone to monitor, though whether he'll deserve to push into the later rounds of fantasy drafts should become more evident during camp and the preseason.

Huddle Up: The Chargers will have the luxury of easing Hampton into things as a rookie after signing Najee Harris in free agency. With that said, expect Hampton to begin the season in a timeshare with Harris at the very least and overtake him as a starter by midseason at the latest. The No. 22 overall pick is a great fit in offensive coordinator Greg Roman's power-running scheme and should be considered as one of the highest available upside players in redraft leagues this year. He is already well inside the top 10 dynasty running back options.

Huddle Up: McConkey finished with 1,149 yards as a rookie, and while the Chargers brought back Mike Williams this offseason, McConkey should remain the go-to target for Justin Herbert. He will be a borderline WR1.

Huddle Up: The second-year growth from Johnston is encouraging, but he ultimately has physical limitations, particularly his suspect hands. LA's pecking order will be worth watching over the summer, and even if he were to get cut, Johnston has too much talent to go unemployed for long. He's nominally a WR4 consideration until more is known.

Huddle Up: Harris could earn a role in the passing game immediately since Ladd McConkey is the only reliable Chargers receiver on the roster. Fantasy players should keep an eye on his situation during training camp because he could be a late round pick in deeper fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: I know Jim Harbaugh wants to run the ball. You know Jim Harbaugh wants to run the ball. Everyone knows Jim Harbaugh wants to run the ball. Considering what the Bolts were able to wring out of perpetually injured JK Dobbins last year, the prospect of Hampton operating in that offense is tantalizing. Yes, Harris is there, but he's on a one-year deal and is more of a power back with limited explosiveness. We'll see how things shake out during training camp and preseason, but for now Hampton offers considerably more upside and might be worth targeting as an RB3 with top-20 potential.

Huddle Up: Hampton likely will share playing time with Najee Harris this season but both likely will see a good amount of touches. Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to have a better idea of his role in 2025. He can be at least a flex option in leagues if he sees solid playing time.

Huddle Up: Conklin has posted solid numbers over the last few seasons and should have a good role in the Chargers passing game. He could a low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues in 2025.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Huddle Up: Conklin was a solid part of the passing game during the last month of the season and probably will receive interest from a few teams during free agency. Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if he has a chance to be a No. 1 fantasy tight end.

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.

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.

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.

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.
