Who Should I Start? Hassan Haskins or Jordan James

Wednesday, September 24, 9:30 AM

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.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James (finger) logged a week of full practices for the first time this season and carries no designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. The rookie missed the season opener while recovering from a broken finger suffered in August, and was a healthy scratch in Week 2 after logging just one full practice that week. Expectations for James in Week 3 should be kept to a minimum. The 49ers have employed a steady rotation of Christian McCaffrey and Brian Robinson Jr., with third-stringer Isaac Guerendo yet to see an offensive snap. Unless McCaffrey or Robinson succumbs to an injury, James can be left off fantasy football rosters.
