Najee Harris Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

Harris was brought in on a one-year deal this offseason. Los Angeles then proceeded to add to their backfield with the selection of Omarion Hampton in the first round of the NFL Draft. Hampton could take over this backfield in short order, but it's also possible that Harris will end up forcing a frustrating committee that crushes the hope of Hampton stans. Harris's eye injury stemming from a firework incident does throw some cold water on Harris's projection and adds fuel to the fires for Hampton believers. At this point, we know who Harris is. A volume back and jack of all trades but master of none. He's a solid but unspectacular player. Last year, he ranked 16th in missed tackles forced per attempt, 27th in yards after contact per attempt, and 20th in yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Harris is a decent flex play for 2025, but the bottom could fall out quickly for his value if Hampton assumes control of the backfield workload at the beginning of the season.
