The widespread belief has been that Jim Harbaugh would bring a more run-heavy scheme to the Los Angeles Chargers, perhaps impacting—at least in the short term—Justin Herbert's fantasy upside.

That was compounded when the team lost its top two receivers, Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, this offseason.

But there is another perspective—that Harbaugh's offense could take Herbert to the next level.

"I think Harbaugh might finally unlock him, with more emphasis on the run to support him," an NFL personnel director told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
