Who Should I Start? Hassan Haskins or Jordan James

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.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James did not appear on the team's injury report for the first time this season. James suffered a broken finger in early August, before preseason games started, and it lingered into the regular season. James had one full practice in Week 2 and three consecutive full sessions in Week 3, but was a healthy scratch from both games, so he is still waiting to make his professional debut. With Christian McCaffrey at the top of the depth chart and Brian Robinson Jr. having a firm grasp as his direct backup, James is unlikely to see much, if any, time on the field if he suits up on Sunday. As such, he has no value in fantasy football going into San Francisco's Week 4 game against Jacksonville.
