Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Hassan Haskins

Thursday, October 23, 4:42 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (hip) was able to return to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday after being held out of practice on Wednesday due to a hip injury. Moore suffered the injury in Week 6 and was able to play through it in Week 7, so he could be on track to suit up again in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens. The 28-year-old has recorded 22 catches for 258 yards and a touchdown on 31 targets across six games so far this season. Moore appears to have fallen behind Bears wideout Rome Odunze in the team's pecking order for targets, and rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III may eventually threaten him as well. Assuming Moore is able to play on Sunday against Baltimore, he profiles as a solid WR3/flex option for fantasy managers.

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.
