Despite a quiet rookie year, Chargers WR Tre' Harris showed promise late in the season, catching 30 passes for 324 yards and a touchdown. His offseason praise from OC Mike McDaniel for unexpected burst, coupled with his draft capital and blocking ability, makes him an intriguing option for deeper redraft leagues, even with competition from Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Brenen Thompson
Keaton Mitchell could be a breakout candidate in 2026 due to a clearer path to carries with the Chargers
The Chargers completed their draft class, signing fourth-round wide receiver Brenen Thompson, the team announced Thursday. The Chargers previously signed first-round edge Akheem Mesidor, second-round center Jake Slaughter, fourth-round offensive tackle Travis Burke, fourth-round safety Genesis Smith, fifth-round defensive tackle Nick Barrett, sixth-round offensive guard Logan Taylor and sixth-round offensive tackle Alex Harkey. Thompson set a single-season record at Mississippi State with an SEC-leading 1,054 yards and six touchdowns on 57 receptions. He earned second-team All-SEC honors. He joined Mississippi State after playing two seasons at Oklahoma (2023-24) and a year at Texas (2022). In 30 career games with the Bulldogs, Sooners and Longhorns, Thompson totaled 1,557 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns on 84 receptions
Good morning, Chargers fans! Per The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, the Chargers were only missing four players on the first during day one of mandatory minicamp. Linebacker Troy Dye was excused for a personal matter, but a trio of offensive linemen — Trey Pipkins , Alex Harkey, and Isaiah World — were all sidelined with respective injuries. That’s not a bad showing for the team’s final stretch of practices before they break for summer. As far as new injuries that occurred during practice, fourth-round pick Brenen Thompson was seen leaving the field with a trainer, but before he hauled in one of the catches of the day from quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei. We’ll update that injury as it progresses, but otherwise this was a solid first day for all intents and purposes! And now for today’s links.

More than 90 percent of the players selected in the 2026 NFL draft have signed their rookie contracts. Among the players who remain unsigned, there are two big clusters, at the top of the third round and the top of the third round. The first six players drafted in the third round are still unsigned: Cardinals quarterback Carson Beck , Broncos defensive tackle Tyler Onyedim, Raiders defensive end Keyron Crawford, Eagles tackle Markel Bell, Bears tight end Sam Roush and 49ers edge rusher Romello Height. The first seven players drafted in the fourth round are also unsigned: Raiders cornerback Jermond McCoy, Bills tackle Jude Bowry, Jets defensive tackle Darrell Jackson Jr. , Cardinals defensive tackle Kaleb Proctor, Chargers wide receiver Brenen Thompson, Texans guard Febechi Nwaiwu and 49ers defensive tackle Gracen Halton. Those 13 players make up the majority of the 2026 draft picks who haven't signed their rookie contracts yet. Bills General Manager Brandon Beane said on the team’s YouTube show that high third and fourth-round picks are encouraged by the players' union to ask for contract provisions that the players in the previous round are getting. "A lot of years it was the third round took forever," Beane said. "The union is constantly trying to push down everything from the second round into the third round, and then the third round to make the fourth round better. In this CBA it feels like the fourth round has become more difficult." Beane said he understand why Bowry's agent doesn't want him to sign until he sees what other fourth-round picks can get, but he thinks it will work itself out before training camp. "Sometimes agents are a little afraid to do something if the guy in front of them hasn't done it," Beane said. "They don't want to look bad. It's all recruiting. Jude's been great. Until it's done it's not done, but we're optimistic." A handful of first- and second-round picks also remain unsigned. Every player picked in the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds has signed
Keaton Mitchell's potential for a fantasy breakout with the Chargers
The Chargers finally put pen to paper this week and signed 2026 first-round draft pick Akheem Mesidor to his rookie contract. Per NFL insider Adam Schefter, the deal is a four-year, fully-guaranteed contract worth up to $20,456,392. With Mesidor’s contract now signed, fourth-round wide receiver Brenen Thompson is now the only member of the Chargers’ 2026 draft class left with his contract done. Mesidor, along with veterans Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu , are expected to produce as one of the best pass rush trios in the league. Similar to how Mack, Tuipulotu, and Odafe Oweh were a ferocious group getting after the quarterback in 2025, this new group under Chris O’Leary has the potential to be just as good, if not better. Even at an “advanced” age, Mesidor could pay immediate dividends as a rookie, given that he’s 25 and already entering his prime as opposed to a 20-year old kid with much less experience. Mesidor was a First-Team All-ACC selection in 2025 and a finalist for the Ted Hendricks Award, given annually to the nation’s top defensive end. He finished his final season with 12.5 sacks, 17.5 tackles for loss, and four forced fumbles while starting 15 games. At 6’3 and 260 pounds, Mesidor also offers the versatility to kick inside and rush from the interior in specific packages. So imagine, a front four of Mack, Tuli, Mesidor, and Tart with someone like Daiyan Henley and/or Derwin James walked up on the line. Sounds good to me!
Justin Herbert's dynasty stock has been relatively unimpacted, but he's become an attractive buy candidate
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that Quentin Johnston, Tre' Harris, and Ladd McConkey have "clearly been the top three" wide receivers for the Bolts throughout the offseason program, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN. Harris, 24, was the 55th overall pick in the second round in last year's NFL draft out of Ole Miss. He caught 30 of his 43 targets for 324 yards and just one touchdown in 17 regular-season games (10 starts) for the Bolts, but he appears primed to take on a bigger role in Year 2 under new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel with veteran Keenan Allen still a free agent. Harris' fantasy stock for the 2026 season would take a major hit if Allen were to re-sign in L.A. While Harris has an opportunity for a bigger role this year, he will be battling for the WR3 role with fourth-round rookie Brenen Thompson, and he'll most likely go undrafted in 12-team fantasy football leagues this fall. At RotoBaller, Harris is currently ranked just inside the top-100 fantasy wideouts at No. 90 as he embarks on his second year in the NFL

Los Angeles Chargers rookie fourth-round wide receiver Brenen Thompson was compared to speedy former Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs wideout Tyreek Hill by head coach Jim Harbaugh, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN. New Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, who coached Hill in Miami, was advocating that the Chargers take the former Mississippi State speedster in this year's draft. He stands at 5-foot-9 and 164 pounds and will be the lightest player on the Chargers' roster, but he'll also be their fastest player after running a 4.26-second 40-yard dash at the NFL combine -- the third-fastest time by a WR since 2003. Thompson had an SEC-leading 1,054 receiving yards in 2025, which set the single-season school record at Mississippi State. Hill was a first-team All-Pro in his first two seasons with McDaniel, and he had a career-high 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2023. Thompson has also been compared to former Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson. Thompson's speed is enticing, but he'll be competing for targets in L.A. in a crowded WR room that also includes Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Tre' Harris, and Derius Davis. Most likely, the 22-year-old will operate in a part-time role in specific packages in 2026 in which the Chargers can utilize his game-changing speed
