Harris

Harris, a 2025 second-round pick, largely contributed as a dirty-work player last season, blocking in the run game and playing on special teams. That said, Harris led the wide receiver corps with 4.7 yards after the catch per reception via 46 targets. He fits new OC Mike McDaniel’s run-after-catch scheme. It sounds like Harris is penciled in as the Bolts’ WR3 right now, warranting late-round consideration in best ball formats.

Harris figures to be Los Angeles’ third receiver this year, but he played a majority of his snaps on run downs last year and could gain extra playing time over Ladd McConkey if he clearly is the best option in that area. There are still a few veteran free agent land mines in the way of Harris having fantasy value, but the Chargers seem to be trending towards a bigger, more run-focused outfit with the additions of David Njoku and Charlie Kolar. Harris should be an interesting sleeper this year.

Popper lists Harris as a starter and notes that with Keenan Allen unsigned, he should be expected to see more work. Harris’ involvement steadily picked up in the second half of the season and it’s possible he finds fantasy relevance in 2026. However, Quentin Johnston picked up the pace last year and figures to be involved as well.

Harris picked up a 14-yard gain on the Chargers’ first play from scrimmage, but caught just one pass after that. It took a while for the second-round rookie to earn a role in the offense this season, earning just six targets in Weeks 1-5. He caught 30-of-43 targets for 324 yards and one touchdown this year. Harris will be given the chance to earn a starting role in 2026, but his outlook is tough to project. He never once hit 55 receiving yards in a game. Wide receivers frequently make strides in their second season, but his to-date productivity does not inspire confidence. Harris could run as the Chargers’ No. 2 wide receiver next year, but he has a very wide range of potential outcomes.

Harris led the receiving corps with 69 offensive snaps but went bizarrely uninvolved until late in the game, earning 5-of-6 targets on the Chargers’ final drive. He picked up 12 yards and a first down on 4th-and-10 from the Broncos’ 34-yard line, before picking up 16 yards on the following play, catching a pass seven yards downfield before churning his legs through contact en route to another first down. A few plays later, Harris ran a fade route from 11 yards out and managed to get his hands on the ball while dragging both feet in the back of the end zone. Unfortunately, he was unable to retain possession as he hit the ground. Harris is a boom-bust FLEX against the Patriots.

Harris sure looks speedy. Unfortunately, the Texans’ defense kept the Chargers’ offense in check for much of the day. The rookie wide receiver was given the ball on an end-around from the Texans’ 15-yard line. Although he failed to score a touchdown, seeing the youngster get a red zone touch was heartening. He is a boom-bust FLEX against the Broncos next week.

Not a single Chargers receiver had more than six targets in Week 17 as Harris got more involved, seeing 29-of-63 snaps against the Cowboys and putting in a solid fantasy line. It’ll be hard to see Harris being more than a WR5 against the Texans in Week 17, but he’s at least setting up some firm roots for the 2026 season here.

Harris’ play has improved as of late, but his on-field participation level will likely be determined by WR Quentin Johnston’s (groin) availability. Harris would be a very dicey FLEX if Johnston sits, but could be deployed in DFS lineups.

Harris’ 49 receiving yards in Week 15 were a career-high. Although he will likely be reduced to a part-time role if WR Quentin Johnston (groin) returns this week, Harris’ development is promising. He would be too risky for WR4/FLEX consideration in that scenario but could warrant consideration in DFS lineups.

Harris popped up on the injury report with a hip issue, though he still practiced in a limited capacity. The rookie has been used sparingly this season, but did bring in three passes for 49 yards with Quentin Johnston out in Week 15. Harris and Johnston (groin) are both limited Wednesday while WR/KR Derius Davis (ankle) did not practice. The Chargers’ wide receiver depth is mildly banged-up heading into Week 16 against the Cowboys.
