Who Should I Start? Hassan Haskins or Emanuel Wilson

Saturday, November 1, 6:23 PM

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.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson had an awesome game in Week 12, but will cede the starting running back duties back to Josh Jacobs when the Packers match up with the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Wilson took 28 carries and turned that into 107 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while catching both of his targets for 18 yards. It was a great performance, but with Jacobs off the injury report after three limited practice sessions, Wilson's role will be greatly diminished from last week. While Wilson could see some more opportunities working in tandem with Jacobs, it's not likely to be anything substantial. When the Packers face the Lions in Week 13's Thanksgiving showdown, Wilson is more of an RB4 option than should be left on benches in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.
