WR Tre Harris, LAC (1 Viewer)

Matt Miller
Ole Miss WR Tre Harris is my favorite Round 2 wideout in a really good class of them.

Size + speed + fluid route-running. He'll have to expand his route tree in the pros but the athletic traits are there. I see him a lot like Rashee Rice--he'll have an immediate role on slants/screens/digs

Josh Norris
Tre Harris' games are full of free space and hinge routes

so here are three targets vs Kentucky that showed something slightly different

Josh Norris
here's some 2022 Tre Harris while he was at Louisiana Tech

in a non-Ole Miss offense

I know he ran a 4.54 - but against ULM or LSU, when he's up to speed he has a real second gear to pull away from everyone
 
Seems like a terrific compliment to McConkey. With the new additions of Najee, Hampton, and Harris, Chargers offense could be really, really good. Not to mention Quentin Johnston could take a step forward. Should be a good run game and lots of weapons at Herbert’s disposal. Now they just need to trade for Mark Andrews.

This is QJ last yr IMO, he showed improvement last yr and this is yr 3
 
I'm expecting Harris to be the #4 WR as a rookie. Let's not forget they brought Mike Williams back, and he'll be healthier and has a multiple season rapport with Herbert.

With their cap space and needs, I hope the trade for a Guard and/or D lineman.
 
Seems like a better fit for Best Ball featuring low volume/floor with high upside.

Could have some nice smash weeks.
 
As an owner of Herbert and McConkey I will gladly draft him…. I loved his profile before the draft and even more now.

Charger homer here - we are starving for a dominant X after being burnt spending high draft capital on Mike Williams and QJohnson. Admittedly biased as a Herbert fan, but if Harris is as advertised he’s getting to play with an elite, top 5 in the world QB arm and a young dominant Z receiver in McConkey. Defenses will have to pick their poison, and I doubt they’ll roll safeties to Harris early in the year with the attention McConkey gets and the Harris/Hampton combo in the backfield.

All the ingredients are there for Harris to perform from day 1 IMO.

Agreed, I think the spot is beautiful.

I agree. IMO:
  • Williams will open the season as the starting X, and I expect he will keep that role for as long as he remains healthy.
  • McConkey will get most of his snaps in the slot.
  • Johnston will get most of his snaps at Z.
  • Harris will get most of his snaps behind Williams at X and behind Johnston at Z.

Harris could have more snaps than either Williams or Johnston since he will potentially be the first backup at both X and Z. But that isn't a lock... McConkey will get some snaps at Z. But I don't think he will surpass Williams or Johnston as a fantasy WR this year unless one of them gets hurt.

It is important to remember that WRs that come out of the kind of college offense Harris played in typically need time to adjust to the NFL. FWIW, in Matt Harmon's Reception Perception Prospect Profile, he indicated these as potential comps:
  • Best case: D.K. Metcalf
  • Likely: Alec Pierce
  • Worst case: Terrace Marshall
How likely is he to hit that best case? It will be interesting to see. I think his 2025 is likely to disappoint many fans from a fantasy perspective; though I think his presence will be beneficial to the rest of the offense. IMO he is more likely to break out as a fantasy player in 2026, assuming he shows enough this season that the Chargers let Williams walk next offseason.

Pretty much in full agreement. I personally felt Harris was more of a round 3 than round 2 guy (in large part because of the offense he was coming from, likely leading to a slower start) but that's a minor quibble.

I forget who made the comparison, but I recall just after the draft reading someone saying the idea was to somewhat resemble what Dallas had in 2020-2021. Bigger OL, workhorse RB, and 3 distinct pass catchers. I think the idea was McConkey=Lamb, Johnston=Cooper (as an ideal, not saying that has or is gonna happen) and Harris=Gallup, who worked more as a field stretcher/clearout.

I will say, I think Mike Williams is sort of to the Chargers WR room as Kareem Hunt is to the Chiefs RB room. "We'd prefer someone else stepped up, but we trust you if they don't"

“Rookie receiver Tre Harris showed up at a couple of different points in the practice. In the first period, he ran a smooth out route to the right side, created separation and hauled in a completion from Herbert….Harris caught a pass from Heinicke on a go route down the right sideline. The throw was into traffic, and this would have been a fun play to watch in a higher-tempo practice. Rookie safety RJ Mickens made a good read from the deep half and was in position to play the ball. Harris has some ability in contested-catch situations. We will have to wait until training camp to see that come fully to life.”
