Fantasy Football Rumors & News

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Najee Harris‘ fifth-year option declined
Najee Harris‘ fifth-year contract has been declined by the Steelers as he enters his fourth year in the league.

Fantasy Impact

Harris’ impact on the field has varied greatly throughout his career in Pittsburgh. During his rookie year, Harris totaled 1200 rushing yards and just under 500 passing yards, but he has not been able to meet or surpass either of those marks in the subsequent years. While injuries have likely contributed to his inefficiencies, the Steelers haven’t seen enough to option him for his fifth year. Harris looks to remain the early down and goal line back for the Steelers going into his final contract year. Meanwhile, running mate Jaylen Warren remains the more explosive option in the Steelers rushing attack as the offense gets a new starting quarterback and new offensive coordinator.

DJ Chark Jr. signs with Chargers
DJ Chark has signed a one-year deal with the Chargers worth up to $5 million after spending last year with the Panthers and the year prior with the Lions.

Fantasy Impact

Chark joins a Chargers wide receiver room that is in need of an upgrade from last year, especially with the departure of Keenan Allen. Chark will look to supply a veteran presence and a deep ball threat to a young Chargers wide receiver room that mostly consists of inexperienced pass catchers.

Fantasy Impact

Paye is coming off a career season where he recorded 8.5 sacks. He’ll look to continue to improve on the defensive line for the Colts.
