Najee Harris could still play a major role for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025, despite a superficial eye injury that will likely cause him to miss the start of training camp. This injury, sustained during a fireworks incident, is not expected to impact his availability for the regular season. Harris is projected for 165 rush attempts, 662.1 rushing yards, and 5.5 rushing touchdowns in 2025, alongside 25.5 receptions for 183.1 receiving yards.

The Chargers, under head coach Jim Harbaugh, are expected to emphasize a physical running game, which suits Harris’s style. The upgraded run-blocking unit should help improve his yards per carry. Harris's durability and veteran presence make him a key component of the Chargers' offensive strategy.

In Harris's absence during early camp, Omarion Hampton, a first-round rookie, will take first-team reps. Fantasy managers should monitor Hampton's performance as he could be a valuable handcuff or waiver wire addition, especially if Harris faces any setbacks.

For fantasy football, Harris remains a solid pick in redraft leagues, with his role as a lead back secure. However, given his contract situation and the Chargers' depth, dynasty managers should consider his long-term future beyond 2025.
