Najee Harris Cleared for Contact, Could Play in Week 1
Najee Harris (eye) has been cleared for contact and could play in the Week 1 regular-season opener on Friday in Brazil against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh. This isn't what Omarion Hampton's fantasy managers want to hear, but even if Harris is active this week, there's a good chance he'll be eased into the Chargers' backfield as the second fiddle to the impressive rookie from North Carolina. Harris suffered an eye injury in a fireworks accident on the Fourth of July that kept him out for all of the preseason. The 27-year-old former Steelers RB has returned to practice, though, and might be able to help the Chargers against KC at the end of this week. Harris should be rostered in all fantasy leagues, but it would be wise to keep him on your bench in Week 1 if he plays. UPDATE: Harris said he expects to play on Friday. "I'm ramping up to it."
