J.K. Dobbins

There are still quality players available

Harris best ball holders and Kimani Vidal true believers are shaking hands and mending fences as Popper says that the Chargers could take a running back "as early as the 22nd pick in the first round." Popper thinks the Chargers will not be re-signing J.K. Dobbins, but an early draft pick could be a huge thorn in the side of Harris at best. At worst, we could see a full-blown committee approach in Los Angeles.

Max value $9.5 million Former #Steelers RB Najee Harris is signing with the #Chargers for 1-year, max value $9.5M, multiple sources tell @NFLonFOX. Harris eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing in each of his first four seasons. A new weapon for Justin Herbert. (Jordan Schultz on X) FF Today's Take: Najee has topped 1000 yards in each of his first four seasons in the league and now becomes the top option in the Chargers backfield with J.K. Dobbins yet to re-sign and Gus Edwards released. There's some fantasy upside here depending on who the Chargers add to the running back room via free agency or the draft.

The Chargers’ rumored interest in Najee Harris will produce an agreement. After four Steelers seasons, Harris is heading west on a one-year deal. Harris will sign with Los Angeles’ AFC team on a contract worth up to $9.5MM, ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweets. A Bolts team that cut Gus Edwards and has not re-signed J.K. Dobbins […]

Rapoport adds that the "deal is not done yet" but things seem to be heading in the right direction. Signing Harris would give the Chargers a capable north-south rusher, who would ostensibly assume starting duties. Current free agent, and 2024 starter, J.K. Dobbins remains unsigned.
