Haskins was the second running back into the game and handled the second-most running back touches behind J.K. Dobbins. With nine total touches for 40 yards, he worked ahead of Kimani Vidal, who rushed five times for 24 yards and did not catch either of his targets. Neither Vidal or Haskins maintain fantasy relevancy as long as Dobbins is active and the backfield would morph into a committee if Dobbins and Gus Edwards were to both miss a game. Keep Haskins and Vidal on benches for Week 18.
Dobbins was activated off injured reserve after missing four games due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 12. He slots back in as the starter. Inactive for the Chargers are QB Easton Stick, RB Gus Edwards, LB Denzel Perryman OL Jordan McFadden, OL Trey Pipkins III, TE Hayden Hurst, and DL Justin Eboigbe. Hurst (illness) is out, but Will Dissly is active, making Dissly a streamer tight end option this week. Edwards (ankle) has also been ruled out for this game, giving Dobbins primary ownership of the Chargers' backfield in his return, with Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins handling backup duties.
Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is active for today s game vs. the Patriots. He s joined in the backfield by RBs Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins, with RB Gus Edwards (ankle) out. Dobbins has been sidelined since Week 12, so we re not expecting workhorse usage today. But we are projecting him to lead this backfield, putting him on the RB3 radar.
The Chargers are "optimistic" they'll get RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) back for Saturday's game vs. the Patriots, according to Amazon's Albert Breer. "He's looked really good the last couple of weeks," Breer added. With RB Gus Edwards (ankle) out, it'll be Dobbins, Kimani Vidal, and Hassan Haskins in the Chargers' backfield. Consider Dobbins the favorite for touches, although we'd be surprised if he handled a huge workload coming off a four-week absence.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (ankle) is out for Saturday's game vs. the Patriots. RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is listed as questionable. He was designated to return from IR earlier this week, put in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, but did not practice on Thursday. We'll look for further updates on Dobbins' availability for this one. His absence would leave the Chargers down to RBs Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins.
