Najee Harris Fantasy Overview

The Chargers lost RB Najee Harris in the middle of the second quarter Sunday to a torn left Achilles' tendon. That allowed rookie RB Omarion Hampton to grab total backfield control in a game that found him racking up 25 touches and 129 total yards. Hampton ran 19 times for 70 yards and a TD. He added 6 receptions for 59 yards on seven targets in the narrow victory over the Broncos.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh confirmed after the Week 3 win over the Broncos that RB Najee Harris has an Achilles injury. He's set for additional testing, but this will most likely end up as a season-ending tear. That'd clear the way for RB Omarion Hampton to play a workhorse role the rest of the way. The rookie had his best game of the young season vs. Denver, running 19 times for 70 yards and a score and catching six of seven targets for 57 yards. Hassan Haskins will step in as Los Angeles' No. 2 RB, with RB Kimani Vidal likely to be elevated from the practice squad.

Chargers RB Najee Harris suffered a left leg injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. He put no weight on the leg as he was helped off the field and was immediately carted back to the locker room. We'll update Harris' status when we know more.

Update: Harris is officially questionable to return with an ankle injury, although it sure looked like an Achilles injury to us.

First-round RB Omarion Hampton was held to just 24 rushing yards on 8 carries and was benched after a fourth-quarter fumbled exchange in the Chargers' 20-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The fumble was later given to QB Justin Herbert.
