Who Should I Start? Hassan Haskins or Dameon Pierce

Wednesday, December 3, 8:23 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers have opened the practice window for running back Hassan Haskins. Haskins suffered a hamstring injury in Week 7 and was placed on the injured reserve, sidelining him for a minimum of four weeks. While the fourth-year back is gearing up for a potential return in Week 14, his role will likely be limited to special teams moving forward. Kimani Vidal has stepped up, and rookie Omarion Hampton is "likely" to play on Monday Night against the Philadelphia Eagles. If Haskins can suit up in Week 14, his role will keep him away from fantasy relevance, and his impact won't affect the values of Hampton and Vidal moving forward.

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed running back Dameon Pierce to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Pierce signed with Kansas City's practice squad on November 24 after being waived by the Houston Texans. The 2022 fourth-round pick had a promising rookie campaign, totalling 939 yards and four touchdowns on 220 carries with 30 catches (39 targets) for 165 yards and another score as a receiver, but has faded into a depth role since then. Pierce doesn't have a path to consistent playing time with the Chiefs, as Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco lead the backfield. He shouldn't be considered for fantasy purposes in Week 16 and is mainly a dynasty league stash for now.
