Los Angeles Chargers rookie first-round running back Omarion Hampton and second-round wide receiver Tre Harris are both in line to play in Thursday's Hall of Fame preseason game against the Detroit Lions, reports Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Rookie receiver Keandre Lambert-Smith will also see action in his first official NFL game. Both Hampton and Harris could be key parts of L.A.'s offense in their first year in the NFL. For Hampton, his fantasy stock is especially rising during training camp with Najee Harris (eye) on the Non-Football Injury list with no timetable for a return. In a run-first offense, the 22-year-old from Ohio State could start the year as the primary backfield option for the Bolts, and if he plays well, it could remain that way all year. Harris, meanwhile could easily be quarterback Justin Herbert's primary deep threat in 2025 now that Mike Williams has retired.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre' Harris had one of his best showings of the summer during Monday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. Quarterback Justin Herbert found Harris twice during 11-on-11 drills and connected on a touchdown. The Chargers are expecting big contributions from Harris after drafting him 55th overall out of Ole Miss this year. He may be in line to claim a starting job with the recent retirement of Mike Williams. While the Chargers have an established No. 1 receiver in Ladd McConkey, a second-round pick last year, Harris could surpass Quentin Johnson as Herbert's second-favorite target.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre Harris got more opportunities with the first-team offense in training camp practice on Wednesday with Jalen Reagor out with an undisclosed injury, but The Athletic's Daniel Popper writes that Harris was inconsistent. Meanwhile, rookie fifth-round wideout Keandre Lambert-Smith elevated his stock the most on Wednesday, making a couple nice adjustments on underthrown deep balls from quarterback Trey Lance. He missed most of the practices in the spring with an injury, but Lambert-Smith is healthy now and has an intriguing mix of deep-field speed, natural hands and elite body control. Ladd McConkey is the clear WR1 in L.A.'s passing attack, but Harris, Lambert-Smith and Quentin Johnston will all be battling for targets behind him this summer. Harris has gotten off to a slow start, but it's still early.

Now that wide receiver Mike Williams has retired, The Athletic's Daniel Popper writes that the Los Angeles Chargers are now relying on second-round rookie wideout Tre Harris to be their starting X receiver in 2025. With Williams hanging up his cleats, there is now more pressure on Harris to perform in his first year in the NFL as quarterback Justin Herbert's primary deep threat. During the first training camp practice on Thursday, Quentin Johnston and Jalen Reagor filled the outside spots with the first-team offense, with Reagor coming down with a 50-yard touchdown catch down the sideline. Reagor could compete at the X position, but at 5-foot-11, 197 pounds, he lacks desired size for the position. Johnston, a former first-rounder, hasn't been consistent off the line of scrimmage and struggles with 50-50 balls, so Harris has a real shot to be the team's No. 2 receiver in his first year.

Los Angeles Chargers second-round wide receiver Tre Harris agreed to terms on his four-year rookie deal on Thursday, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Harris didn't report to training camp when the rest of the team's rookies did earlier this week, but now that he's under contract, he can join the rest of his teammates at practice. The 23-year-old was the 55th overall pick in April and should contribute immediately in his first year in the NFL, especially after Thursday's announcement that deep threat Mike Williams will hang up his cleats. Harris impressed the coaching staff during OTAs and minicamp and will now look to keep that momentum going as he tries to become the team's WR2 behind Ladd McConkey. He could have some deep-league fantasy appeal as a deep threat for quarterback Justin Herbert, but he's probably going to be inconsistent in L.A.'s run-first offense.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre Harris is one of 30 unsigned second-round rookies, but general manager Joe Hortiz is hoping that the team can get things settled soon in order to get him back onto the practice field with training camp starting this week. "I wish I could put a crystal ball on it. I hope it's done soon. I hope he gets out here and practices, practice is vital for everyone, not just him," Hortiz said. The Chargers' rookies reported to camp last Saturday, so the 23-year-old is already behind the eight ball heading into his first NFL season. Harris impressed the coaches during offseason workouts this spring, but he'll need to get back out there soon so that he doesn't lose any progress he made. When he's on the field, Harris should have a key role as a deep target for quarterback Justin Herbert, although fantasy managers should expect inconsistency in a run-first offense.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie second-round wide receiver Tre Harris is officially a holdout after not reporting with the rest of the team's rookies for the start of training camp, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Harris and the Chargers continue to haggle over guaranteed money in his contract. It remains to be seen when something will get worked out for the 23-year-old, but for now, he's going to miss some developmental time in camp. Harris impressed the coaching staff during OTA and minicamp workouts, though, and he has the potential to make a fantasy impact in redraft leagues in his first year in the NFL with the Bolts in 2025, even in a run-first offense. Ladd McConkey is the unquestioned WR1 for the Chargers, but Harris could be quarterback Justin Herbert's go-to deep target if Mike Williams and Quentin Johnston continue to disappoint.

The Los Angeles Chargers rookies are reporting to training camp on Saturday, but the Bolts and second-round wide receiver Tre Harris still haven't agreed to a deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. There is still time for the two sides to get something done before official practices begin, but Harris is facing the possibility of missing some key development time heading into his first NFL season. The 23-year-old looked impressive during OTAs and minicamp earlier this offseason while building chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert. The Chargers are hoping that Harris can be Herbert's go-to deep threat in 2025 to open up more space for WR1 Ladd McConkey underneath. Harris will be fighting for targets with Mike Williams and Quentin Johnston. Despite being in a run-first offense, Harris is in a good situation for immediate playing time in 2025.
Jul 12, 2025 1:07 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre Harris, who was selected with the No. 55 overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft last Friday, is expected to fill the team's X position in his first year in the league. Ladd McConkey broke out in his rookie campaign in 2024 in the slot, but the Chargers needed a big-bodied receiver who could stretch the field vertically outside the numbers and threaten defenses with contested-catch ability. That is what Harris does well. The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder from Ole Miss had 60 catches for 1,030 yards and seven touchdowns in eight games in 2024 and should be a nice downfield and red-zone weapon for quarterback Justin Herbert. Given the question marks surrounding Mike Williams and former first-rounder Quentin Johnston, Harris will have the opportunity to be the team's WR2 in his first year in 2025. It's a positive landing spot for an immediate fantasy impact.
