Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins has just 17 yards from scrimmage on six total touches this season, all of which came in Week 5 against the Washington Commanders. However, with Chargers' lead running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) potentially facing missed time after suffering an ankle injury in Week 5, Haskins could see a significant increase in workload. If Hampton does indeed miss game action, Haskins and second-year back Kimani Vidal are the lead candidates for backfield playing time in Los Angeles. Vidal had his first five touches of the 2025 season in Week 5, recording 19 yards from scrimmage. Pending more information coming out around Hampton's injury, Haskins is a waiver-wire name to monitor in deep leagues heading into a favorable Week 6 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins logged a season-high seven offensive snaps in the Week 3 win over the Denver Broncos. Unfortunately, his increase in playing time came at the expense of Najee Harris (Achilles), who will miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign. As a result, Omarion Hampton is expected to see even more work out of the backfield moving forward. With Harris out of the equation, the No. 2 spot is up for grabs. As of now, Haskins could be the favorite to get some touches behind Hampton, even with the team elevating Kimani Vidal to the active roster. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect the 25-year-old to see enough involvement to make him even a semi-relevant option in any format, especially since he hasn't recorded a carry yet this season. Keep him benched (and off the roster entirely) for the Week 4 meeting with the New York Giants.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins isn't expected to see a significant role increase despite recent injuries in the backfield. Haskins has yet to log a touch in 2025 and has primarily operated as the RB3 behind rookie Omarion Hampton and veteran Najee Harris. With Harris suffering a torn Achilles in Week 3's win over the Denver Broncos, the RB2 job is now up for grabs. Second-year back Kimani Vidal, who has been a healthy scratch through the first three games, could push for that role. Vidal filled in effectively last season when J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards were sidelined, making him the more likely candidate to step into the rotation. Haskins remains most valuable to the Chargers on special teams, leaving him without meaningful fantasy appeal.

The Athletic's Daniel Popper writes that Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins is the leader in the clubhouse for the third running back spot on the 53-man roster this year behind Najee Harris and first-round rookie Omarion Hampton because of his versatility on special teams. Haskins played the third-most special-teams snaps of any Charger last year. Kimani Vidal will have to come to training camp ready to perform to make it more of a competition for the No. 3 job. The 25-year-old Haskins won't be on the fantasy radar in single-year leagues as long as both Harris and Hampton are healthy for the Bolts. The former fourth-rounder by the Tennessee Titans in 2022 out of Michigan had only 34 carries for 89 yards and two touchdowns for L.A. in 17 games last year while also adding three catches for 49 yards and a touchdown.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Haskins ran the ball 12 times, gaining 33 yards. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. His touchdown came on a two-yard run near the end of the fourth quarter. With the Chargers mostly in control of the game late, Haskins was able to get some more run while starter J.K. Dobbins, who got 18 carries, was able to rest. The Chargers next game will be a Wild Card playoff matchup against the Houston Texans, where Haskins is unlikely to repeat his dozen carries.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins could have a larger role than usual in a Week 17 game against the New England Patriots. With Gus Edwards (ankle) ruled out and J.K. Dobbins (knee) questionable after missing the past four games, Haskins and rookie Kimani Vidal could split the backfield in a game in which the Chargers are favored. If Dobbins is able to play, Haskins likely won't have fantasy value, but if it gets down to just Haskins and Vidal, both should have decent floors with higher ceilings than usual.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins scored a touchdown in a Week 16 win over the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Haskins did not record a rushing attempt, but he was targeted twice in the passing game, making two catches for a total of 39 yards. His touchdown came on a shovel pass from quarterback Justin Herbert that turned into a 34-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Haskins will continue playing an important role on the real life Chargers, but he's unlikely to do much in fantasy leagues despite his exciting play in this game.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins should still have a role in a Week 14 game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Haskins has been in a depth role all season, but he ended up playing 45% of the team's offensive snaps in Week 12. He was in on 15% in Week 13, but seemed to be kept off the field for the most part after a fumble early on. Still, with J.K. Dobbins (knee) out and Gus Edwards looking like he may be out of gas as a runner, Haskins could find himself with some red zone work. He's a low-ceiling, low-floor dart throw, but worth at least keeping an eye on in some deep leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins could have some sneaky fantasy value in a Week 13 game against the Atlanta Falcons. With starter J.K. Dobbins (knee) out for this week, Haskins should mix in with fellow running backs Gus Edwards and Kimani Vidal. Last week, after Dobbins was forced to leave the game, Edwards played most of the early downs and Haskins played passing downs and red zone situations. Assuming Vidal is active this week, which he should be, he'll likely eat into Haskins' role, but both could still end up with some solid fantasy production especially in PPR leagues. Haskins is available for free in almost every league right now.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins scored the first touchdown of his NFL career in a Week 10 win over the Tennessee Titans. Haskins only carried the ball twice and gained four yards total, but one of those runs was a goal-line plunge in the fourth quarter. He remains third at best on the depth chart, with both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards well ahead of him. Haskins is a solid depth piece on an NFL team, but isn't worth consideration in any fantasy formats at this point.

The Los Angeles Chargers claimed running back Hassan Haskins off waivers from the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, according to the league's transaction wire. The former Michigan product wasn't able to make the Titans' 53-man roster out of training camp and will now join the Bolts for the 2024 campaign, most likely starting on the practice squad. In LA, Haskins will provide extra RB depth behind Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins, Jaret Patterson and rookie Kimani Vidal. The 24-year-old former fourth-round selection in 2022 missed all of last season due to an upper-body injury after seeing 25 carries his rookie season that he turned into 93 scoreless yards in 15 games (one start). He also caught 11 passes for 57 yards in 2022. Haskins remains well off the fantasy radar for the time being.

Tennessee Titans running back Hassan Haskins (undisclosed) was removed from the commissioner's exempt list and has been returned to Injured Reserve. Haskins was placed on the commissioner's exempt list on Aug. 29, but charges were dropped on Thursday after allegations of aggravated assault stemming from his arrest over the summer. The 23-year-old will remain on Injured Reserve for the rest of the year unless the Titans decide to waive the second-year back eventually. A fourth-round pick last year, Haskins played in 15 games (one start) in 2022 and had 25 carries for 93 yards while catching 11 of 12 targets for 57 additional yards. He's obviously well off the fantasy radar in 2023.

The Tennessee Titans placed running back Hassan Haskins (undisclosed) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday. Derrick Henry remains Tennessee's workhorse back heading into the 2023 regular season, but the Titans have a dynamic backup now in rookie Tyjae Spears. Behind Spears there is Julius Chestnut and Jacques Patrick. The 23-year-old Haskins was a fourth-round selection by the Titans last year out of Michigan. In his first NFL campaign, he played in 15 games (one start) and saw 25 rushing attempts, scampering for 93 yards (3.7 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. He also caught 11 passes for 57 yards on 12 targets.
