Who Should I Start? Hassan Haskins or Chris Brooks

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.

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks looks to build on his minor role within the Packers' offense as they travel to Cleveland to play the Browns in Week 3. Brooks has played well above fellow running back Emanuel Wilson this season and has gained more snaps from Week 1 (9) to Week 2's 13. Brooks could see a little more time on the field with Josh Jacobs (ankle) a bit banged up, though Jacobs came off the injury report after three limited practice sessions. While Brooks remains a clear role player for the Packers, Brooks' role would increase if something were to happen to Jacobs. Brooks' situational role with the Packers keeps him well away from starting consideration for fantasy in Week 3.
