Who Should I Start? Donta Foreman or Najee Harris

Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman carried the ball 10 times for 27 yards and caught his lone target for an eight-yard gain in a 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18. Foreman opened the game as the team's starter and led the backfield but it was slow going for the veteran, who saw just three carries after halftime. Foreman is an unrestricted free-agent heading into the offseason and will look to catch on somewhere to continue his career after averaging just 3.3 yards per carry with the Browns in 2024.

According to Los Angeles Chargers reporter Daniel Popper of the Athletic, the team is likely to target a running back in April's 2025 NFL Draft. "The Chargers will be adding an explosive player to this group in the draft to complement Harris, Popper wrote." Perhaps as early as the 22nd pick in the first round." Harris signed a one-year, $5.25 million deal to join Justin Herbert's offense during the first week of free agency, but the depth chart behind him consisting of Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins leaves a lot to be desired. The 2025 NFL Draft class is loaded at the running back spot, and North Carolina's Omarion Hampton or Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson could fit what L.A. is looking for. While Harris would have immense upside in the Chargers' offense in a workhorse role, he could be related to early-down work depending on if L.A. pulls the trigger on a ball carrier on Day 1 or Day 2. Harris has missed just one game in his NFL career and has rushed for at least 1,000 yards in each of his first four seasons, but his contract value and lack of explosive play-making signals he could be at risk of falling into a committee-back role.
