Chargers QB Justin Herbert was pressured often against the Steelers, being sacked five times. He ended up completing 20 of 33 passes for 220 yards and a TD. He did find a little success with his legs rushing 5 times for 19 yards. Missing OTs Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater was apparent against the Steelers with Herbert throwing the ball under pressure throughout the game.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is eligible to come off IR this week, but HC John Harbaugh said Monday that he doesn't expect the rookie back until after the Week 12 bye. It's not a major surprise considering Hampton was still in a walking boot about a week-and-a-half ago. He's worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues, but Hampton owners should be prepared to be without him for another three weeks. RB Kimani Vidal again operated as Los Angeles' lead back in the Week 9 win over the Titans but busted with just 30 yards on 12 carries. RB Jaret Patterson notably out-snapped Vidal 11 to six in the fourth quarter, finishing with nine carries for 44 yards. Vidal remains the best fantasy bet in this backfield for Week 10, but the situation is a bit more volatile now than it was a couple of days ago.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal rushed 12 times for 30 yards in Sunday's matchup with Tennessee. Vidal topped No. 2 RB Jaret Patterson in snap share – 72% to 28% – but the carry distribution was much tighter. Vidal led by only 3 attempts in a 7-point road win.

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 Omarion Hampton (ankle) was still in a walking boot on Thursday night, according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper. Hampton is eligible to come off IR for Week 10, but he seems unlikely to be ready by then. And that's not a surprise after NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported a couple of weeks ago that Hampton would likely miss more than the required four weeks. At this point, it seems more likely than not that Hampton is sidelined through the Chargers' Week 12 bye. The rookie remains worth stashing in all fantasy leagues, but expect RB Kimani Vidal to get a few more games as lead back.

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.

The Chargers are signing RB Nyheim Hines to their practice squad. Hines hasn't played a regular-season snap since suffering a knee injury in a jet ski accident in 2023. He turns 29 next week. And, even before that injury, he was just a change-of-pace back, never topping 89 carries in an NFL season. The Chargers, of course, are without RB Omarion Hampton for at least the next four games -- after losing RB Najee Harris for the season. Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal lead the most uninspiring RB room in the league. Hines was with the Chargers during training camp this season, but we'd still consider him a long shot to make a fantasy impact. He can stay on the waiver wire. If the Chargers are done adding to their backfield, it'd be good news for the upside on Haskins and Vidal.

The Chargers are placing RB Omarion Hampton on IR for the left ankle injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Commanders. That means Hampton will miss at least the next four games. We'll watch for further details on his expected return timeline.

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton "may miss time" with the ankle injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Commanders, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. This sounds more like speculation based on the fact that Hampton was in a walking boot after the game, rather than a concrete report from Rapsheet. Hampton is scheduled for additional testing on Monday. We'll update his status when we know more, but fantasy managers should start lining up replacement plans. Hassan Haskins was the first back to replace Hampton vs. Washington, although he ended up splitting opportunities 4 to 4 with Kimani Vidal after Hampton exited.
