Who Should I Start? Hassan Haskins or Kalel Mullings

Thursday, October 16, 11:14 AM

Despite being named the team's starter leading up to their win against the Miami Dolphins last weekend, Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins took a backseat to teammate Kimani Vidal. It was never assumed that the 25-year-old would absorb all of LA's backfield work in Omarion Hampton's (ankle) absence, but Vidal took the opportunity and ran with it. Haskins was out-touched 21-7, out-gained 139-23, and out-snapped 43-20. The Chargers could opt to even out the distribution of backfield touches moving forward. Still, Vidal has the hot hand currently, and figures to get another crack at running away with the starting job in Sunday's home outing with the Indianapolis Colts. Haskins can't be trusted for fantasy, but he's on the radar as the handcuff to own in Los Angeles for the time being.

The Tennessee Titans are placing rookie running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury, per ESPN's Turron Davenport. Mullings has been active for two games so far in 2025, but has yet to record an NFL carry. He will now be sidelined for at least the Titans' next four games and will be first eligible to return in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts. Tennessee is activating running back Jordan Mims for their Week 4 matchup against the Houston Texans, but veteran back Tony Pollard should be expected to see a heavy workload. The Titans could soon get some backfield help in the form of Tyjae Spears (ankle), who is eligible to return from IR in Week 5.
