Murray plans to fade Trey Harris despite his recognizable name from college DFS. He believes Harris will be rostered alongside Hampton by casual players chasing star rookies, yet the Chargers will limit both to a few scripted snaps. The team published a street-clothes list that did NOT include Harris, but Murray still expects a quick hook, making Harris a high-owned receiver with minimal route volume—precisely the archetype he avoids in preseason Showdown formats.

Jon Warner said he has begun jamming Trey Harris while drafters remain lukewarm, calling the rookie "a potential riser" once preseason clips and contract clarity hit Twitter. Harris currently hovers around pick 100 after his second-round holdout, a full round behind where Warner saw him go in early drafts. Warner’s pitch: the only bodies Harris must hurdle for weekly routes are an injured Michael Pittman, an unpopular Cooper Kupp, a WR3 version of Tee Higgins, and a banged-up Darnell Mooney. If Harris merely beats out the shaky Quentin Johnston, he becomes Justin Herbert’s unquestioned No. 2 target in an offense that will throw 600-plus times. Warner expects that realization to shove Harris into the 80s by September, so he is gobbling exposure anywhere outside the top 90 before the window slams shut.

Tyler Sullivan argued Trey Harris could ‘let lightning strike twice’ for the Chargers after Ladd McConkey’s monster rookie year. The Bolts’ playoff loss highlighted their need for a reliable second option—Will Dissly’s 16 yards were the next-best line behind McConkey’s 190. Enter Harris: 1,820 receiving yards and 129 per game last season while shredding SEC corners. With Mike Williams retired and Quentin Johnston still floundering, Sullivan sees Harris stepping into the outside role opposite McConkey, leaving him a clear path to heavy rookie-year targets from Justin Herbert. That combination of quarterback quality, depth-chart vacuum, and college production makes Harris a priority late-round pick in season-long leagues and a sneaky DFS play once salaries drop.
