Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins (hamstring) was placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. Haskins was already ruled out for Week 9 due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 7. Clearly, Haskins has suffered a significant enough injury to sideline him for the next four games. His next chance to play will be Week 14 versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The Chargers backfield is extremely banged up at the moment. Kimani Vidal will remain the workhorse back moving forward with Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Najee Harris (Achilles) both still sidelined. Haskins wasn't doing enough when healthy to warrant holding through the injury.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. As expected, Haskins will miss another game as he hasn't practiced since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 7. The absence of Haskins will mean that Kimani Vidal will see the bulk of the carries once again. Jaret Patterson figures to be brought up from the practice squad, but Vidal is going to see most of the touches. When healthy, Haskins wasn't doing much anyway, so it's tough to justify holding him outside of dynasty leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins (hamstring) remained out of practice on Thursday due to a hamstring injury, per ESPN's Kris Rhim. Haskins missed his team's Week 8 contest, and he could be tracking towards a second consecutive absence in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans. Haskins being sidelined would likely mean another sizable workload for Chargers running back Kimani Vidal. Without Haskins in the lineup in Week 8, Vidal recorded 127 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 24 touches against the Minnesota Vikings. If Haskins remains out in Week 9, Jaret Patterson would likely be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the Chargers' RB2 behind Vidal.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. As the Chargers begin preparing for a matchup against the Tennessee Titans, it appears there's a chance they could be without Haskins for the second week in a row. He has spent most of this season in a depth role but did handle a slightly increased workload after Omarion Hampton (foot) was placed on IR, peaking with 14 rushing yards and nine receiving yards in Week 6. If Haskins' status improves and he's able to play Sunday, he'd serve as the clear backup to Kimani Vidal. If he can't play, Jaret Patterson would likely be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the Bolts' No. 2 option out of the backfield. Vidal remains the only fantasy starter among the Chargers' running backs.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for the Thursday night game in Week 8 against the visiting Minnesota Vikings, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Haskins suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts and won't be able to suit up on a short week. With the 25-year-old sidelined and with rookie first-rounder Omarion Hampton (ankle) still on Injured Reserve, the Bolts are expected to elevate veteran Nyheim Hines to the 53-man active roster to serve as Kimani Vidal's backup against Minnesota. Trayveon Williams could also come up from the practice squad to serve as backfield depth on a short week. Haskins' next chance to suit up will come in Week 9 on Sunday, Nov. 2, against his former team, the Tennessee Titans. In the RB2 role with Hampton on IR, Haskins has minimal fantasy value and has been dropped in most leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Tuesday that running back Hassan Haskins (hamstring) is doubtful to play on Thursday night against the visiting Minnesota Vikings at SoFi Stadium in Week 8, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Haskins injured his hamstring in the Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday and was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's injury report. The 25-year-old has played second fiddle to Kimani Vidal in the Chargers' backfield in two games since rookie first-rounder Omarion Hampton (ankle) landed on Injured Reserve, leaving him little fantasy value. With Haskins now likely sidelined on a short week, expect L.A. to bring veteran pass-catching back Nyheim Hines up from the practice squad to serve as Vidal's backup on Thursday against Minnesota. In the last two games with Hampton sidelined, Haskins has a combined seven carries for 17 yards while catching all three of his targets for 11 yards.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins (hamstring) is listed as a non-participant on his team's Monday injury report due to a hamstring injury. The Chargers did not actually practice on Monday, so this is an estimation of Haskins' status ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night. In two games since Chargers RB1 Omarion Hampton (ankle) was placed on Injured Reserve, Haskins has split backfield work in Los Angeles with Kimani Vidal. Vidal has been the clear lead back, as Haskins has recorded 28 yards from scrimmage on 10 total touches over the last two weeks. If Haskins is unable to play on Thursday, Vidal would likely dominate backfield work for the Chargers even further. Veteran back Nyheim Hines could also play a role on passing downs.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins quickly dropped out of the Week 6 backfield rotation, playing only 31% of the snaps, while second-year back Kimani Vidal gained 138 total yards and scored a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins. Haskins managed just 2.3 yards per carry on six attempts for 14 yards, even against a weak run defense, and now faces an Indianapolis Colts team that allows the 12th fewest rushing yards per game. His career average of 3.0 yards per carry offers little confidence in significant production going forward, and the team seems to prefer going with the hot hand approach in Vidal. Adding to concerns, Haskins was listed on the injury report with a chest injury and is Questionable, making his already limited role uncertain. While his familiarity with coach Jim Harbaugh and the possibility of goal-line carries provide a small chance for playing time, managers shouldn't depend on that. RotoBaller projects Haskins as RB44, and he should stay on your bench this week.

Despite being named the team's starter leading up to their win against the Miami Dolphins last weekend, Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins took a backseat to teammate Kimani Vidal. It was never assumed that the 25-year-old would absorb all of LA's backfield work in Omarion Hampton's (ankle) absence, but Vidal took the opportunity and ran with it. Haskins was out-touched 21-7, out-gained 139-23, and out-snapped 43-20. The Chargers could opt to even out the distribution of backfield touches moving forward. Still, Vidal has the hot hand currently, and figures to get another crack at running away with the starting job in Sunday's home outing with the Indianapolis Colts. Haskins can't be trusted for fantasy, but he's on the radar as the handcuff to own in Los Angeles for the time being.

Just before the Los Angeles Chargers' Week 6 contest against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, it was announced that running back Hassan Haskins would start for the Bolts in the first game without rookie first-rounder Omarion Hampton (ankle), who is on Injured Reserve. Haskins got the start, but he quickly gave way to Kimani Vidal, who dominated backfield work with 18 carries for 124 rushing yards while playing 67% of the offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Haskins only played 31% of the snaps and saw six carries for 14 yards while catching his only target for a gain of nine yards. The Chargers could use more of a split backfield going into a Week 7 meeting against the Indianapolis Colts. Still, Vidal definitely was the more explosive back in the first game without Hampton. The 25-year-old still deserves to be rostered in deep leagues for RB depth with Hampton out, but he won't be a recommended flex play against Indy.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins is expected to operate as the primary option out of the backfield during Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Miami Dolphins, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Haskins will take on an expanded role this weekend with both Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Najee Harris (Achilles) on injured reserve. Haskins' newfound role at the top of the depth chart isn't necessarily a surprise since he was routinely active as the No. 3 running back when Hampton and Harris were healthy. Now, he'll slide into the lead-back role while Kimani Vidal offers a change of pace. It's possible that Vidal could carve out a low-end fantasy role, but for now, Haskins is the only Chargers running back worth starting in fantasy football. He ranks as an RB3/flex but could have RB2 upside in a favorable matchup against Miami.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins is now stepping into a primary role after Omarion Hampton (ankle) was placed on IR this week as the team faces the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Haskins, who had an unimpressive five carries for 13 yards last week following Hampton's injury, will share work with Kimani Vidal after OC Greg Roman said it will be "all hands on deck" when asked who the lead back would be. Haskins' advantage comes from his 6-2, 228lb frame and familiarity with Jim Harbaugh's system from their time together at Michigan. While his 3.0 career yards per carry is underwhelming, the Miami Dolphins are dead last against the run, giving up over 200 rushing yards to Carolina Panthers backup Rico Dowdle last week. Despite the favorable matchup, the split workload and a more explosive Vidal should temper volume expectations. RotoBaller projects Haskins as RB30. He's a mid-range RB3/FLEX option based on potential goal-line usage and favorable matchup, but managers shouldn't expect a workhorse role.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins is expected to be part of a running back-by-committee approach in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins. Haskins should see a lot of the early-down work and red-zone work, while second-year running back Kimani Vidal is expected to handle more of the pass-catching duties and third downs. The reason for all of this is that rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) was injured in Week 5 and landed on the injured reserve and will now miss the next four games. Most reports from Jim Harbaugh and the offensive coordinator Greg Roman suggest that both will see work, and the only factor making Haskins a potential flex play in Week 6 is the matchup. The Dolphins have given up the fifth most points to the running back position. Just last week, they allowed 206 rushing yards to Rico Dowdle.
