Hassan Haskins Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal dominated backfield work for the second straight week in Sunday's loss to the Colts but posted weak fantasy results this time around. He carried nine times for just 20 yards (2.2 per rush) and caught four of five targets for 15 yards (3.8 per catch). Hassan Haskins logged just one carry for 3 yards and 2 catches for 2 yards (on two targets).

Chargers RB Hassan Haskins (chest) is active for today’s game vs. the Colts. He figures to operate as the No. 2 RB behind Kimani Vidal and would be a desperation fantasy play.

Chargers RB Hassan Haskins (chest) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Colts. He was added to the injury report on Thursday but put in full practices that day and again on Friday. Haskins should be available for this one but would be a weak fantasy play after getting easily out-touched and out-produced by RB Kimani Vidal last week.

Sunday turned up the Chargers' first game without rookie RB Omarion Hampton. The result? Kimani Vidal seized control of the backfield with 124 rushing yards on 18 attempts, chipping in with 3 grabs, 14 yards, and 1 receiving score. Meanwhile, Hassan Haskins gained only 14 yards on six attempts and caught his only target for 9 yards.

Chargers RB Hassan Haskins is expected to be the lead RB today for the Chargers per Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Kimani Vidal will still be getting some action, but Garafalo indicated that Haskins will lead the backfield. With news of Omarion Hampton missing more than four weeks, the Chargers are expected to be in the market to trade for an RB as well, so there could be more additions to the backfield in the future.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is out at least the next four weeks on IR. But NFL Network's Mike Garafolo hears that the rookie will "likely" miss more time than that. "It's not a season-ending injury," Garafolo adds. The Chargers have a bye in Week 12 (six weeks from now), so it's possible that we don't see Hampton again until Week 13. Garafolo also reports that the Chargers have been calling around about potential trades for a RB. We'll see where that goes. And we'll see what this backfield looks like today with Hassan Haskins, Kimani Vidal, and Nyheim Hines.

The Chargers are signing RB Nyheim Hines to their practice squad. Hines hasn't played a regular-season snap since suffering a knee injury in a jet ski accident in 2023. He turns 29 next week. And, even before that injury, he was just a change-of-pace back, never topping 89 carries in an NFL season. The Chargers, of course, are without RB Omarion Hampton for at least the next four games -- after losing RB Najee Harris for the season. Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal lead the most uninspiring RB room in the league. Hines was with the Chargers during training camp this season, but we'd still consider him a long shot to make a fantasy impact. He can stay on the waiver wire. If the Chargers are done adding to their backfield, it'd be good news for the upside on Haskins and Vidal.

The Chargers are placing RB Omarion Hampton on IR for the left ankle injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Commanders. That means Hampton will miss at least the next four games. We'll watch for further details on his expected return timeline.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton "may miss time" with the ankle injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Commanders, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. This sounds more like speculation based on the fact that Hampton was in a walking boot after the game, rather than a concrete report from Rapsheet. Hampton is scheduled for additional testing on Monday. We'll update his status when we know more, but fantasy managers should start lining up replacement plans. Hassan Haskins was the first back to replace Hampton vs. Washington, although he ended up splitting opportunities 4 to 4 with Kimani Vidal after Hampton exited.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton hurt his left ankle in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Commanders. He spent a bunch of time on the sidelines trying to loosen it up and return to the game, but he ultimately headed back to the locker room. Hampton is officially questionable to return. RBs Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins have picked up snaps with Hampton out.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh confirmed on Monday that RB Najee Harris tore his left Achilles in the Week 3 win over the Broncos. Harris is done for the season and faces a lengthy rehab. It's bad timing for the 27-year-old who's set to hit free agency this offseason.

The Chargers lost RB Najee Harris in the middle of the second quarter Sunday to a torn left Achilles' tendon. That allowed rookie RB Omarion Hampton to grab total backfield control in a game that found him racking up 25 touches and 129 total yards. Hampton ran 19 times for 70 yards and a TD. He added 6 receptions for 59 yards on seven targets in the narrow victory over the Broncos.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh confirmed after the Week 3 win over the Broncos that RB Najee Harris has an Achilles injury. He's set for additional testing, but this will most likely end up as a season-ending tear. That'd clear the way for RB Omarion Hampton to play a workhorse role the rest of the way. The rookie had his best game of the young season vs. Denver, running 19 times for 70 yards and a score and catching six of seven targets for 57 yards. Hassan Haskins will step in as Los Angeles' No. 2 RB, with RB Kimani Vidal likely to be elevated from the practice squad.

Chargers OC Greg Roman stated that rookie RB Omarion Hampton will be part of a Week 1 rotation, according to ESPN’s Kris Rhim, even if RB Najee Harris (eye) is unavailable.

Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so it’s safe to assume he won’t be at 100%. RB Gus Edwards is also back from his knee injury for this one and figures to mix in behind Dobbins. RB Kimani Vidal is a healthy scratch, leaving Hassan Haskins as the No. 3 RB.

Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He’s joined in the backfield by RBs Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins, with RB Gus Edwards (ankle) out. Dobbins has been sidelined since Week 12, so we’re not expecting workhorse usage today. But we are projecting him to lead this backfield, putting him on the RB3 radar.

The Chargers are "optimistic" they'll get RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) back for Saturday's game vs. the Patriots, according to Amazon's Albert Breer. "He's looked really good the last couple of weeks," Breer added. With RB Gus Edwards (ankle) out, it'll be Dobbins, Kimani Vidal, and Hassan Haskins in the Chargers' backfield. Consider Dobbins the favorite for touches, although we'd be surprised if he handled a huge workload coming off a four-week absence.

Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) is out for Saturday's game vs. the Patriots. RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is listed as questionable. He was designated to return from IR earlier this week, put in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, but did not practice on Thursday. We'll look for further updates on Dobbins' availability for this one. His absence would leave the Chargers down to RBs Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins.

Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been placed on IR. Dobbins is dealing with an MCL sprain and will now miss at least the next four games. He'll be eligible to return for Week 17's meeting vs. the Patriots. You could keep Dobbins stashed for that one, but he's droppable if you're in a pinch. Dobbins' absence should leave RB Gus Edwards as Los Angeles' lead ball carrier, but we're expecting him to cede most passing-down snaps to RBs Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal.
