Agent Doug Hendrickson posted video updates showing Najee Harris running on an Alter‑G treadmill at 15 mph and described his progress as “looking outstanding” roughly five months after Achilles surgery. (fantasyfootballcalculator.com)) Harris suffered a season‑ending torn Achilles in the Chargers’ Week 3 win over the Denver Broncos on Sept. 22, 2025, and coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed the injury the next day. (espn.com)) The running back signed a one‑year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers on March 10, 2025 that can pay up to $9.25 million, a contract that made him the projected lead back before the injury. (espn.com)) After the Achilles tear, rookie Omarion Hampton assumed lead‑back duties in Los Angeles, leaving Harris’s role and market as a free agent in question when he became available this offseason. (fantasyfootballcalculator.com)) Dynasty trackers show Harris’s late‑season ADP and value sliding — DLF lists an ADP around 227 and KeepTradeCut places him outside the top‑70 running backs in recent crowdsourced rankings — which helps explain why managers see him as a low‑cost stash. (dynastyleaguefootball.com)) Analysts continue to profile Harris as a waiver target because outlets flag his recovery timeline (RotoWire estimates an Aug. 1, 2026 return) combined with four straight 1,000‑yard seasons earlier in his career, creating late‑season upside if he reaches full health. (rotowire.com)) Harris has also been linked to recent team activity — reports noted a visit with the Seattle Seahawks this week — which could influence where he lands in free agency and how fantasy managers value a stash. (steelersnow.com)) Fantasy waiver coverage framed Harris as a replacement/waiver priority after the injury and continues to list him in late‑season waiver discussions, reinforcing the “zero‑cost, high‑upside” add argument across dynasty and redraft advice streams.
