In this story:


Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre Harris has officially ended his holdout, putting him back on track for a potential breakout rookie campaign in dynasty football formats. With size, downfield upside, and a proven college résumé, Harris is now firmly in the mix for early-season targets from Justin Herbert in an evolving LA offense.

Tre Harris, Los Angeles Chargers

Harris had a progressive career between Louisiana Tech and Ole Miss over four seasons. Despite catching 220 passes for his career with 3,532 yards and 29 touchdowns, he never caught more than 65 passes in a year. His receiving yards improved each season (562, 935, 985, and 1,030) while showing more explosiveness with the Rebels (18.2 and 17.2 yards per catch). He missed five games last season with a groin injury.

In 2023, Harris gained over 100 yards in five matchups (6/133/4, 8/153/1, 4/102, 11/213/1, and 7/134). His season started last year with an impressive run over seven games (8/179/2, 9/130, 10/94, 11/225/2, 11/176/1, 3/81, and 7/102/1), putting him on an impressive pace.

The development of Harris last year paints a much higher profile than initially expected. He brings size (6’2” and 205 lbs.) to the wide receiver position while making many deep catches in 2024 despite not having elite speed (4.54 40-yard dash). The volume of his long catches with Ole Miss will be unattainable at the next level due to better cornerbacks and a shorter passing window. Harris runs with purpose with the ball in his hands, helping his ability to turn short catches into first downs. He must improve his win rate when challenged in tight catch quarters.

Tre Harris 2025 Dynasty & Fantasy Football Outlook

Harris entered this year’s draft class at age 23 with some missed time over the last two seasons due to injuries. My mental image of his game is based on how Nico Collins was utilized by the Texans in 2023. The question to be answered is: Can the Chargers and Justin Herbert get him the ball at the third level of the defense? If so, his fantasy stats will likely be much higher in his rookie campaign, as Harris should also receive plenty of catches to move the chains. Think Keon Coleman with more college experience.
