Who Should I Start? Najee Harris or Garrett Wilson

Wednesday, September 24, 6:15 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers announced on Wednesday that they placed running back Najee Harris (Achilles) on Injured Reserve, according to Fernando Ramirez of the Sporting Tribune. Harris' season is over after he tore his Achilles in the Week 3 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. It's a disappointing end to his first year with the Bolts after signing with them in free agency in the offseason. The 27-year-old will end his streak of four straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons to begin his career. In his three games this year, Harris carried the ball 15 times for 61 yards and no touchdowns, adding three receptions for 25 yards through the air. The Chargers will be forced to lean more on rookie first-rounder Omarion Hampton as their lead back going forward, making him a must-start each week. Hassan Haskins will be elevated to the RB2 role, with Kimani Vidal the next man up at No. 2 in the backfield.

The New York Jets announced on Wednesday that they officially ruled out wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) for the Thursday night game in Week 11 against the division-rival New England Patriots after he missed practice all week. Wilson aggravated a knee injury in Sunday's Week 10 win over the Cleveland Browns and is now expected to miss another three to four games. Given the state of the Jets' 2025 season, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't help them the rest of the way, but given the 25-year-old's WR1 status, he should be stashed in an IR spot until further notice. Josh Reynolds (hip) is also on Injured Reserve for the Jets, so with Wilson out again, New York will be down to Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, John Metchie III, and Isaiah Williams. Expect Adonai Mitchell to make his team debut on Thursday night, too.
