Who Should I Start? Hassan Haskins or Jarquez Hunter

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.

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Jarquez Hunter has not been a factor in his team's offense through the first two games of the season. After being a healthy scratch in Week 1, Hunter was active for Week 2 but did not record a carry. The 22-year-old appears to be firmly behind Blake Corum in the Rams backfield pecking order after RB1 Kyren Williams. Corum logged five carries for 44 yards and a score on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, which likely only solidified his hold on the RB2 role. Hunter would have some fantasy relevance if either Williams or Corum were to go down with an injury, but for now, he should be off the radar of managers in redraft leagues.
