Chargers RBs Kimani Vidal (neck) and Hassan Haskins (concussion) are active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. With RB Omarion Hampton out, we’re expecting Vidal to lead the backfield. But he’s an unexciting fantasy option with the Trey Lance-led Chargers huge underdogs in this one.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. The rookie didn’t practice all week, so it’s unclear if he’s actually hurt or is just getting the week off ahead of the playoffs. RBs Kimani Vidal (neck) and Hassan Haskins (concussion) are both listed as questionable but put in full practices on Friday and should be available. We’re projecting Vidal to lead the backfield, but it’s not an upside fantasy spot with the Chargers 12.5-point underdogs in Denver.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. The rookie seemed to make it out of last week's loss to the Texans ok. But HC Jim Harbaugh already announced that QB Justin Herbert won't play in Sunday's game vs. the Broncos, and it wouldn't be surprising if Hampton was also held out. RBs Kimani Vidal (neck) and Hassan Haskins (concussion) were limited on Wednesday.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal (neck) is inactive for today's game vs. the Texans. That leaves Hassan Haskins as Los Angeles' No. 2 RB and should mean more work for RB Omarion Hampton. The rookie checks in 18th in the Week 17 RB rankings.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal is considered "day to day" with a neck strain suffered in the Week 16 win over the Cowboys, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Vidal could miss time, but the belief is that it's not serious," Rapoport adds. We'll start the week projecting Vidal to miss Saturday's game vs. the Texans, which would leave Hassan Haskins as the No. 2 RB and likely mean a significant boost in volume for RB Omarion Hampton.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys with a neck injury. His absence should mean more Omarion Hampton, with Hassan Haskins as the No. 2 RB. We'll update Vidal's status when we know more.

The Chargers on Monday activated RB Omarion Hampton from IR. That clears the way for him to play tonight against the Eagles. It would be his first action since a Week 5 ankle injury.

Chargers RB Hassan Haskins (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. RB Kimani Vidal will continue to dominate touches in Los Angeles’ backfield, with Jaret Patterson the No. 2 RB. Vidal is a borderline RB1 in this prime spot against Tennessee’s 30th-ranked RB defense.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal went over 100 rushing yards in Week 7 for the second time in his last three games. The first came against a Dolphins run defense that gets smoked every week. Vidal's 117-yard outing vs. the Vikings on Thursday night was more impressive. He was largely bottled up in the first half, mustering just 24 yards on 11 carries -- although one of those went for a three-yard score. Vidal got rolling in the second half, though, with the Chargers nursing a big lead and Minnesota's defense not looking particularly interested in tackling. Vidal carried another 12 times for 93 yards over the final 30 minutes, including four runs of 10+ yards.

Chargers RB Hassan Haskins (hamstring) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Vikings. That leaves Kimani Vidal as the only healthy RB on the active roster. RBs Nyheim Hines, Amar Johnson, and Jaret Patterson are on the practice squad. We'll see who gets elevated for Thursday night, but we're expecting Vidal to handle a bigger share of the backfield work, making him a solid RB2 play.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh labeled RB Hassan Haskins doubtful for Thursday night's game vs. the Vikings due to a hamstring injury. Haskins has been vastly out-played by RB Kimani Vidal over the last two weeks, but he's still siphoned seven carries and three targets. His absence will leave Nyheim Hines as the Chargers' No. 2 RB, but we could see Vidal pick up more work. He's a solid RB2 in fantasy lineups in this week with six teams on bye.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal dominated backfield work for the second straight week in Sunday's loss to the Colts but posted weak fantasy results this time around. He carried nine times for just 20 yards (2.2 per rush) and caught four of five targets for 15 yards (3.8 per catch). Hassan Haskins logged just one carry for 3 yards and 2 catches for 2 yards (on two targets).

Chargers RB Hassan Haskins (chest) is active for today’s game vs. the Colts. He figures to operate as the No. 2 RB behind Kimani Vidal and would be a desperation fantasy play.

Chargers RB Hassan Haskins (chest) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Colts. He was added to the injury report on Thursday but put in full practices that day and again on Friday. Haskins should be available for this one but would be a weak fantasy play after getting easily out-touched and out-produced by RB Kimani Vidal last week.

Sunday turned up the Chargers' first game without rookie RB Omarion Hampton. The result? Kimani Vidal seized control of the backfield with 124 rushing yards on 18 attempts, chipping in with 3 grabs, 14 yards, and 1 receiving score. Meanwhile, Hassan Haskins gained only 14 yards on six attempts and caught his only target for 9 yards.

Chargers RB Hassan Haskins is expected to be the lead RB today for the Chargers per Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Kimani Vidal will still be getting some action, but Garafalo indicated that Haskins will lead the backfield. With news of Omarion Hampton missing more than four weeks, the Chargers are expected to be in the market to trade for an RB as well, so there could be more additions to the backfield in the future.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is out at least the next four weeks on IR. But NFL Network's Mike Garafolo hears that the rookie will "likely" miss more time than that. "It's not a season-ending injury," Garafolo adds. The Chargers have a bye in Week 12 (six weeks from now), so it's possible that we don't see Hampton again until Week 13. Garafolo also reports that the Chargers have been calling around about potential trades for a RB. We'll see where that goes. And we'll see what this backfield looks like today with Hassan Haskins, Kimani Vidal, and Nyheim Hines.
