Haskins is in the mix as a backup option should Harris miss time, providing a path to meaningful Week 1 touches if the starter sits, shaping a backfield lottery for fantasy owners depending on Harris' status.

Haskins is part of the Chargers’ third-back competition and has produced yardage in preseason. His opportunity depends on how other backs fare and health; a hot camp could push him into more carries, adding a speculative floor and potential weekly upside.

Haskins is a known quantity in the group competing for touches behind Hampton and Harris. With Sanders, Vidal and Miller-Hines in the mix, Haskins adds depth and an outside-shot at a role in Week 1, especially in short-yardage or pass-protection packages when the game plan dictates a multi-back approach.

Hassan Haskins may have to step up significantly should Dobbins leave the Chargers, potentially taking on a larger role in the backfield.

Hassan Haskins has emerged as a potential dark horse candidate for RB2 value in the Chargers' Wild Card game against the Texans. With both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards nursing ankle injuries, Haskins could play a significant role, especially after replacing rookie Kimani Vidal in the No. 3 running back position. He has shown versatility, leading the backfield in receiving during Week 16 and has been active in two-minute drill situations, averaging 10 rushing attempts and 0.5 targets over the last two weeks. His performance could dictate the distribution of carries and targets in a potentially crowded backfield.
