Who Should I Start? JaMycal Hasty or Isaiah Spiller

Sunday, October 20, 6:43 PM

New England Patriots running back JaMycal Hasty lost two yards on two carries during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. On a more positive note, he caught all five of his targets for 49 yards and one touchdown through the air. Hasty was one of the Patriots' most productive pass-catchers on Sunday, and he also led the backfield in total yards. Equally important was the snap distribution among the backfield, with Rhamondre Stevenson playing 30 snaps, JaMycal Hasty getting 20, and Antonio Gibson finishing with just 10. For the first time this season, Hasty out-snapped Gibson, and it's possible this trend continues after the former's productive outing on Sunday. With that said, Hasty isn't on the fantasy radar quite yet.

The Los Angeles Chargers released running back Isaiah Spiller from their practice squad on Friday, according to a source. Spiller missed out on making the 53-man roster out of training camp and has now been pushed off the team entirely after the club claimed RB Hassan Haskins off waivers from the Tennessee Titans earlier this week. The 23-year-old wasn't able to win one of the last RB spots over rookie Kimani Vidal and will now be free to join any team in the league as RB depth. Spiller failed to make an impact with the Bolts after they drafted him in the fourth round (123rd overall) in 2022 out of Texas A&M. In his first two years in the league, he carried the ball 55 times for 137 yards (2.5 yards per carry) and no touchdowns, adding only nine receptions (nine targets) for 47 yards without a touchdown in 15 games (zero starts).
