Daniel Popper on X

Jim Harbaugh said RB Hassan Haskins (hamstring) is doubtful for Thursday night vs. Vikings.

Related players: Kimani Vidal, Nyheim Hines, Amar Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

With no Haskins Vidal stands to get a big workload in Week 8, which is a Thursday night game against the Vikings. Hines looks to be the RB2 at this point, but he's played just one snap in each of the last two weeks.

Chargers Beat: Kimani Vidal could be team's answer at RB

The Athletic

Oct 14 · 11:04 AM EDT

Kimani Vidal’s performance Sunday could change how the Chargers approach the running back market ahead of November’s trade deadline. Omarion Hampton must miss at least three more games. When Hampton does return, the Chargers will need a second back to pair with him.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said the Chargers were going to be in the market for a running back with Najee Harris out for the season. But the author went on to say Vidal's performance may change the team's approach. The story added Vidal will likely need to string together more performances like last week. Looking like the odd man out to start the year, Vidal was convinced to sign with the practice squad. The story added Vidal's also improved in pass protection, making him a possible option for passing situations and third down snaps, even when Hampton returns.

The Chargers will not have their starting running back for at least the next four weeks.

Via multiple reporters, head coach Jim Harbaugh said in his Monday press conference that Hampton is being placed on injured reserve with the ankle injury he suffered during Sunday’s loss to the Commanders.

Related players: Hassan Haskins, Kimani Vidal, Amar Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

Hampton was spotted in a walking boot after Sunday’s game. In five games, Hampton has rushed for 314 yards with two touchdowns and caught 20 passes for 136 yards. Haskins is currently the only other running back on the Chargers’ 53-man roster, the story said, but the workload will likely be split with Haskins and Vidal, who is on the practice squad. Johnson is on the practice squad as well.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton dealing with ankle injury

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton may miss time with an ankle injury, according to Ian Rapoport.

Related players: Hassan Haskins, Scott Matlock, Kimani Vidal

Fantasy Impact:

Hampton was in a walking boot leaving the stadium and Rapoport speculated that usually means missed time in ahead. Hampton is still going through tests, according to the post, but owners may want to prepare now to be without Hampton. The RB load will fall on Haskins and Vidal if Hampton does have to miss time.
