NFL Free Agency is shaking up depth charts and creating massive opportunities for certain players.

0:04.7

Now, some guys just won Free Agency while other players lost in a big way.

0:08.1

In this video, we'll break down the biggest fantasy football winners from Free Agency

0:11.8

and what it means for your 2025 season. Let's get into it.

0:15.1

And we need to start with one of the biggest winners from Free Agency,

0:17.7

and that's the former Steelers running back, Najee Harris, who now finds himself

0:21.3

on the Los Angeles Chargers after signing a one-year deal that's worth up to $9.25 million.

0:26.8

Now, this is important for a couple of reasons. The veteran free agent market didn't have a lot of

0:30.4

big names on it with Aaron Jones getting re-signed by the Minnesota Vikings. And the fact that

0:34.2

there's a highly talented rookie draft class coming in made a lot of these veterans on the free agent market not as valuable.

0:39.5

So the fact that the Chargers were willing to put up almost $9, over $9 million, almost $10 million to Najee Harris, albeit a one-year deal,

Now, last season, the Chargers were a borderline top 10 team in terms of how many rushing attempts per game they had. And that was with a guy in J.K. Dobbins, who came into the year kind of coming off of a couple

of injuries. He got injured within the season itself. He wasn't durable. But now they bring in the

1:01.0

most durable running back in the NFL the past four years. Naji Harris, you see this. 17 games

1:05.0

played in all four of his seasons in the NFL has never missed a game, 68 straight regular season games for Najee Harris, but that's not all because

1:11.6

he still has some juice left. He's only 27 years old, which is getting older for the running

1:15.6

back position, but it's not like you're over the cliff. And he showed last year, arguably his

1:19.4

best year in terms of efficiency. He was top 10 in evaded tackles, top 20 in explosive run rate,

1:24.2

top 20 in a broken tackle rate. All these metrics for him were career best,

1:28.3

despite being 27 now. Now, when we look at the current depth chart, J.K. Dobbins is still a free agent,

1:32.6

probably not returning to this team after Najee signed. Gus Edwards was released by the team,
