What happened to Najee Harris? Live updates for Chargers RB

Najee Harris attended an event on July 4th that experienced a fireworks mishap. Harris suffered a superficial eye injury but is fully expected to be ready for the season.

Whew! The fantasy football community still suffers PTSD when fireworks and NFL player are mentioned together after what happened to Jason Pierre-Paul back in 2015.

Harris hasn’t missed a game in his four-year NFL career. Although he was signed for only one year and the Los Angeles Chargers drafted running back Omarion Hampton in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Harris is still expected to be a key figure in the run-oriented offense of the Chargers.

His availability and health puts a damper on the fantasy prospects for Hampton, but if Harris were to miss games Hampton would see a significant increase in value.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
