Who Should I Start? Hassan Haskins or Sione Vaki

Sunday, January 5, 10:51 PM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Haskins ran the ball 12 times, gaining 33 yards. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. His touchdown came on a two-yard run near the end of the fourth quarter. With the Chargers mostly in control of the game late, Haskins was able to get some more run while starter J.K. Dobbins, who got 18 carries, was able to rest. The Chargers next game will be a Wild Card playoff matchup against the Houston Texans, where Haskins is unlikely to repeat his dozen carries.

Detroit Lions running back Sione Vaki rushed four times for 29 yards during Thursday's preseason loss to the New York Giants. He broke off a solid 15-yard run in the effort, but perhaps his best play was a fumble recovery after a Giants defender lost the football on an interception return. A fourth-round pick out of Utah, Vaki projects to make the 53-man roster, slotting in behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs on the running back depth chart. He's an appealing option in deep dynasty leagues (and even deeper redraft formats) given that he could earn a handful of opportunities if Montgomery or Gibbs miss any time in 2024.
