The Los Angeles Chargers have been a desirable spot for a rookie running back to land since the start of the offseason. There has been a slight dent put into that sentiment by the Chargers signing of veteran running back Najee Harris to a 1-year $5.2 million contract. 

Since March 9th, Harris has risen on Underdog 30.6 spots!. This 2.5 round increase in ADP makes perfect sense considering last offseason fantasy gamers went berserk for rookie 6th round NFL draft pick, Kimani Vidal.

Najee Harris is now the RB-25 having leapt up from RB-33 in drafts prior to signing with the Chargers as a free agent. Najee Harris has played 17 games in all 4 seasons of his career and eclipsed 1,000 yards or more in every season. His high-water mark was his rookie season where he was 6th in fantasy points per game at 17.7. Najee Harris is a perfect example of needing to fade negative player take sentiment while adapting to a golden opportunity.
