Who Should I Start? Travis Homer or JaMycal Hasty

Friday, December 20, 3:32 PM

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer (hamstring) was added to the Week 16 injury report after being limited in Friday's practice, and he's now considered doubtful to be active on Sunday to face the division-rival Detroit Lions. Homer was injured in practice on Friday and is now unlikely to play this weekend, but thankfully for the Bears, they will be getting Roschon Johnson back for additional backfield depth behind D'Andre Swift after he missed the last two games due to a concussion. The 26-year-old Homer has mostly contributed on special teams for the Bears in 2024 and hasn't been on the fantasy radar at all while being buried on the RB depth chart in a low-scoring offense. In his second year in Chicago, Homer has produced only 23 rushing yards on six carries while adding three receptions for 11 yards in 10 games played.

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.
