Najee Harris has signed a one-year deal worth up to $9.25 million with the Los Angeles Chargers, significantly bolstering their backfield. Having previously played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Harris is projected to enhance the running game alongside Gus Edwards, who has carved out a niche as a tough, between-the-tackles runner. While J.K. Dobbins is expected to return, Harris' role likely solidifies him as a volume-driven RB3, especially in standard league formats.

The Chargers are making strategic moves in free agency, aiming to create a balanced offensive attack. With Harris’ addition, they have a dynamic option that could thrive in a committee with Edwards, potentially taking on the early-down workload. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on how this situation develops as the season approaches. Meanwhile, the impact on other backs, particularly Dobbins, will be interesting to watch as they aim for a more favorable contract than last season.
