Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Hassan Haskins

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught two of his four targets for 17 yards in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. Jeudy was quiet on a rainy, windy day in Cleveland, which saw the Browns attempt just 18 passes and throw for only 116 yards. While the weather played into Jeudy's slow performance in Week 7, it doesn't account for his disappointing second season with the Browns. Jeudy has now caught just 22 passes for 257 scoreless yards through seven games. He will look to bounce back in a Week 8 road matchup against a New England Patriots defense that is allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers in fantasy thus far. Jeudy sets up as a low-end WR4/flex option for Week 8.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Tuesday that running back Hassan Haskins (hamstring) is doubtful to play on Thursday night against the visiting Minnesota Vikings at SoFi Stadium in Week 8, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Haskins injured his hamstring in the Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday and was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's injury report. The 25-year-old has played second fiddle to Kimani Vidal in the Chargers' backfield in two games since rookie first-rounder Omarion Hampton (ankle) landed on Injured Reserve, leaving him little fantasy value. With Haskins now likely sidelined on a short week, expect L.A. to bring veteran pass-catching back Nyheim Hines up from the practice squad to serve as Vidal's backup on Thursday against Minnesota. In the last two games with Hampton sidelined, Haskins has a combined seven carries for 17 yards while catching all three of his targets for 11 yards.
