Who Should I Start? Hassan Haskins or Zamir White

Wednesday, October 29, 10:33 PM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. As the Chargers begin preparing for a matchup against the Tennessee Titans, it appears there's a chance they could be without Haskins for the second week in a row. He has spent most of this season in a depth role but did handle a slightly increased workload after Omarion Hampton (foot) was placed on IR, peaking with 14 rushing yards and nine receiving yards in Week 6. If Haskins' status improves and he's able to play Sunday, he'd serve as the clear backup to Kimani Vidal. If he can't play, Jaret Patterson would likely be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the Bolts' No. 2 option out of the backfield. Vidal remains the only fantasy starter among the Chargers' running backs.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White has reclaimed his role as the team's primary backup to Ashton Jeanty heading into Week 7. After briefly losing the job to Raheem Mostert, White appears to have earned back the RB2 spot following Mostert's recent struggles. While Jeanty continues to handle the majority of touches as the Raiders' clear workhorse, White's return to the No. 2 role puts him back on the fantasy radar as a valuable handcuff. The 26-year-old's combination of power and downhill running fits well in short-yardage and late-game situations, and he would hold immediate flex value if Jeanty were to miss time. For now, White remains a bench stash in most fantasy formats but is worth monitoring in deeper leagues or for managers seeking insurance behind one of the league's most heavily utilized backs.
