Najee Harris
RB - Los Angeles Chargers - IR
68°Availability
Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris was confirmed to have torn his Achilles tendon and will miss the rest of the 2025-26 season.
Fantasy Impact
The immediate impact of this injury is that rookie running back Omarion Hampton should take over as the team's clear RB1. He had been splitting work with Harris, who has run for over 1,000 yards in every season of his NFL career, but was the clear leader after Harris' injury. Hassan Haskins should factor into the mix, and LA could add a veteran or elevate second-year back Kimani Vidal, but Hampton should lead the way, and Harris is set to be a free agent in 2026.
Najee Harris (Achilles) did in fact suffer an Achilles injury on Sunday according to HC Jim Harbaugh. He will undergo further testing on it's severity. Before leaving the game, Harris ran for 28 yards on six carries.
Fantasy Impact
While Harris will have testing done on it, it's not looking good. Anyone watching the broadcast and clips of the injury could see the signature "pop" of an Achilles tear. While, of course, the potential exists that he avoided catastrophe, since nothing has for sure been fully confirmed as of writing; it's not looking good for Najee in 2025. His season is likely over.
Chargers RB Najee Harris was carted to the locker room after suffering an apparent Achilles injury.
Fantasy Impact
Harris suffered a non-contact injury in the second quarter as he pushed off to start a play and immediately went down in pain. Although it is unconfirmed until he undergoes further testing, Harris likely suffered a torn Achilles and will miss the remainder of the season. He will finish the day with 28 rushing yards on six carries.
Najee Harris rushed the ball eight times for 28 yards and caught two passes for 20 yards in Monday's 20-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran looked more involved in Week 2. He saw ten touches against the Raiders, which was the same amount as rookie Omarion Hampton, and was more efficient with them. He isn't the RB1 for the Chargers at this point but will likely continue to see good involvement on the offense, which is bad for Hampton.
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said the team limited Najee Harris in Week 1 and he could play a bigger role this week.
Fantasy Impact
Harbaugh said the team planned 12-15 plays for Harris last week. This will be a situation to monitor for the fantasy value of Omarion Hampton.
