Should be some stacked fronts unless they start getting Herbert some targets to throw to, but Najee should see a good amount of touches regardless.
Also I believe the only RB to rush for 1K or more yards each of the last 4 seasons.Najee is the only NFL tailback to play all 68 regular season games the last 4 years
(there's one FB who also did this)
there, I found something nice to say about him
Totally depends on what else they do between now and the end of April.What I would ask anyone who does not like the landing spot for Najee to please list the other places you'd have preferred to see him go.
I got one and I never thought it possible as I don't think they are in the market to pay a veteran RB.
Chargers would have been my second best option if I could have picked any team for him to land. ETA-and it's a superclose second.
Whatever happens after this with Chargers or any other team with RB additions we don't know. Just saying based on what we know right now I'd be curious exactly where other people would have preferred.
Interesting, so much so it had me thinking how durable Harris ha been thus far. Why do I have this bad feeling about him just when everyone is so excited about this signing?I will be heavily investing in Najee in redraft if his value is right.
They’re gonna run him into the ground.
IMO he’s everything Harbaugh tried to make Gus Edward’s into, but couldn’t.Interesting, so much so it had me thinking how durable Harris ha been thus far.

This! Najee is not a good fit for wide zone or zone in general. Give him some momentum running north/south and he is far more effective.Steelers utilized too much zone with Najee, so with Roman and a more gap heavy scheme, look for an increase in production.
This was probably his best fit.
He may never have run for a 40+ yard run but that's probably an overblown stat.the Wfan chatterbox kept going off on Najee because he never had a run longer than 39 yards
From your mouth to the spaghetti monster’s ears!!Can Najee become a healthy version of Conner?
He WAS a plodder on a team that hasn't had a O Line in years. Also no real threat from the QB position.He’s a plodder
Which team are we talking about here?

Is this sarcasm? The Chargers. The O Line FBG themselves have ranked #7.Which team are we talking about here?
Could be a top offense if they add a better deep threat but najee couldn’t land in a better spot and Harbaugh couldn’t have gotten a better value for what he wants.He WAS a plodder on a team that hasn't had a O Line in years. Also no real threat from the QB position.He’s a plodder
Let's see how he does with a very good O line and a stud QB.
If the Chargers get Engram and either draft a WR or sign one to go along with Johnston and McConkey the offense could be pretty good.Could be a top offense if they add a better deep threat but najee couldn’t land in a better spot and Harbaugh couldn’t have gotten a better value for what he wants.He WAS a plodder on a team that hasn't had a O Line in years.

I think the Chargers are extremely likely to take a RB by round 4. A speedy compliment would make sense.So kind of taking in both sides of the argument here on Najee it feels like a great target in redraft, a win now guy for playoff bound rosters in dynasty, and a screaming sell for everyone else in dynasty. He's already jumped from RB36 to RB30 since the trade. I think this could go up to a consensus ranking as a mid RB2 pretty easily in the next month. This would mark his highest value since pre-2023 season and probably a great time to shove him off to a RB needy team. You could roll the dice and hope for some bad rookie landing spots in the draft and that Chargers don't invest in one in the first 3 rounds and probably squeeze some more juice out of him in the market; but I think if you're not set up for a deep playoff run in your leagues this is a prime opportunity to sell at a high. If he does just plod his way to another low end RB2 season in a much better situation in LA I think you see his trade value cut in half. Especially considering at that point he'll be a FA again and 28 years old.
He also plodded for 4 YPC average last year, 3.9 for his career— which is better than quite a few RBs held in much higher esteem by the FF community.He WAS a plodder on a team that hasn't had a O Line in years. Also no real threat from the QB position.He’s a plodder

Isn’t Vidal already that guy?I think the Chargers are extremely likely to take a RB by round 4.

Definitely. Purely situational, and if you have the depth and/or aren’t a win-now roster, you could see excellent return. I’d try to do it before the draft while the hype is at its peak.probably a great time to shove him off to a RB needy team
You get 6 points per reception?!Just got him as rb25 round 6 ppr bb
Vidal isn't a lock to make the team. I think they'll want someone much more talented than Vidal.Isn’t Vidal already that guy?I think the Chargers are extremely likely to take a RB by round 4.

Not sarcasm. I wouldn't classify the Chargers Line as "Very Good" personally. They have very good tackles and average at best interior linemen. We'll have to see what they do in free agency if they can shoot the lock of the wallet.Is this sarcasm? The Chargers. The O Line FBG themselves have ranked #7.Which team are we talking about here?
They are MUCH better than the Steelers.
well, this is the draft to do it.Vidal isn't a lock to make the team.

Either way, IMO Najee’s role is secure. 2 down back, short yardage, occasional dump off.well, this is the draft to do it.Vidal isn't a lock to make the team.

I dont think the team is giving up on Vidal but if they let Dobbins go I would say their chances of taking a RB in the draft are pretty close to 100%
I'd even give him the capability of 3rd down role in some scenarios/drives. He was an above average catcher and route runner out of the backfield his first season in Pitt. And then for whatever reason Matt Canada just stopped having him do it as much. Unless Najee suddenly lost that part of his game, but that feels unlikely. But one of the perks of him only having a one year deal, the Chargers don't have a major incentive to not just squeeze every drop from him and run him into the ground.Either way, IMO Najee’s role is secure. 2 down back, short yardage, occasional dump off.well, this is the draft to do it.Vidal isn't a lock to make the team.

he blocks well, so third down isnt out of the question.I'd even give him the capability of 3rd down role in some scenarios/drives.
