Chargers Host Broncos: Najee Harris Ready for Action
LOS ANGELES, CA – The Los Angeles Chargers are set to face off against the Denver Broncos in Week 3 of the NFL season this Sunday. Running back Najee Harris is not listed on the injury report and is expected to play.
The Chargers will keep an eye on their injury report as the kickoff approaches. Harris has shown promising form, helping to limit the role of Omarion Hampton earlier this week. Although Harris was recovering from a serious injury at the beginning of the season, he is seemingly back to full health.
Harris has performed consistently, ranking clear of 1,000 rushing yards during all four seasons he played with the Pittsburgh Steelers. While he isn’t regarded as one of the top talents in the league, he is dependable and fills his role effectively. The Chargers currently rank poorly in terms of rushing yards gained before contact, indicating that their run game struggles to get going.
For this week, Harris is projected to score around 8.6 fantasy points in PPR formats, with an expected 40 rushing yards and nearly 0.3 rushing touchdowns. He is also expected to record a couple of receptions for 11 yards.
The weather forecast for the game at 4:05 PM ET is ideal, with temperatures around 78 degrees Fahrenheit and light winds at 3 mph. These conditions are favorable for both teams to execute their offensive plans.
Fans can look forward to an exciting matchup with two teams hoping to improve their standings.
