Who Should I Start? Hassan Haskins or Rachaad White

Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said that he doesn't have a lead back between running backs Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal going into Sunday's Week 6 matchup on the road against the Miami Dolphins, according to ESPN's Kris Rhim. "They're gonna be big factors in the game, how it's gonna unfold from a snap-count standpoint ... can go a bunch of different ways in that regard," Roman said. Haskins and Vidal were both waiver-wire pickups this week, with rookie first-rounder Omarion Hampton (ankle) going on Injured Reserve and Najee Harris (Achilles) already out for the season. One of Haskins or Vidal could emerge as the favorite in L.A.'s backfield in the next four games with Hampton out, but for now, fantasy managers should expect more of a clean split in terms of backfield touches and snaps. It makes both Haskins and Vidal nothing more than shaky flex plays in Week 6, even though it's in a nice matchup against Miami.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White took full advantage of his opportunity to be the team's RB1 in Week 5 with Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) sidelined by injury. White recorded 71 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 18 total touches, and has now logged 213 yards from scrimmage and three scores on 49 total touches for the season. With Irving's status in doubt for Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers, White looks poised for another week with a significant workload. The 26-year-old is a must-start running back in Week 6 and has a good chance to maintain that status for as long as Irving is unable to play.
