Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton offers "considerably more juice" than veteran RB Najee Harris and has the potential to be the full-time No. 1 back as a rookie, in the opinion of The Athletic's Daniel Popper, who adds that Hampton can "change the identity" of LA's offense.
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.

Free-agent RB Najee Harris (Steelers) officially agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Chargers Wednesday, March 12.

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.

Impending free-agent RB Najee Harris (Steelers) is receiving interest from the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Chargers hope to reach an agreement with Harris.
Huddle Up: Harris has rushed for at least 1,000 yards in all four seasons he has been in the NFL and likely will be the starter if he joins the Chargers. He can be a No. 2 or No. 3 fantasy running back if the two sides reach a deal.

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.

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.
