Analyze Hassan Haskins's matchup for week 11
Haskins remains on injured reserve with a hamstring injury and cannot play in Week 11; even when healthy he was a distant backup with zero fantasy utility, so leave him on waivers.
The Jaguars draw a paper matchup versus a depleted Chargers backfield, but Haskins won’t be part of it—he’s required to miss at least four games after landing on IR Nov. 1. When active he was buried behind Kimani Vidal and averaged 2.5 YPC on 12 touches, so the matchup is moot.
A non-factor before the hamstring strain, Haskins logged only 30 rushing yards and 13 receiving yards through Week 7; his best outing was 14 yards on six carries versus Miami.
Hassan Haskins’ 2025 campaign was already on life support before he hurt his hamstring in Week 7. Operating as the No. 2 behind Kimani Vidal, he mustered a paltry 2.5 yards per carry and never saw more than six touches in a game, rendering him a non-entity in all but the deepest of formats. When Najee Harris (Achilles) and Omarion Hampton (ankle) hit IR, Haskins moved up the depth chart by default, yet he still couldn’t command a meaningful role, ceding almost all early-down and passing-down work to Vidal. His snap share peaked around 25 percent, and the coaching staff showed no inclination to expand his workload, signaling a clear lack of trust. The hamstring injury merely formalized what the stat sheet already suggested: Haskins is not a fantasy-relevant option in 2025.
From an analytics standpoint, Haskins’ profile is damning. Among running backs with at least ten carries, he ranks dead last in yards after contact per attempt and has generated zero explosive runs (10-plus yards). The Chargers’ offensive line has struggled, but Haskins’ 2.5 YPC is more than a full yard below the team’s collective RB average, indicating he’s compounding the problem rather than mitigating it. His receiving usage is equally bleak—four targets, three catches, 13 yards—so there’s no PPR floor to chase. Even if Jacksonville were surrendering robust RB production (they���re middle-of-the-pack), Haskins’ efficiency metrics project to roughly 0.6 fantasy points per touch, a rate that requires 15 touches to crack double digits, something he’s never approached.
Looking ahead, Haskins’ earliest eligible return is Week 14, by which time fantasy playoffs have already begun. The Chargers figure to have Harris (if recovered) or a freshly drafted rookie back in the mix, while Vidal will have a ten-week head start on the role. In other words, Haskins would return to an even more crowded backfield with no guaranteed touches. For redraft leagues, there is zero incentive to stash him; use the roster spot on a handcuff or upside wideout instead. In dynasty, he’s a depth-only hold in 30-man rosters—his athletic profile was mediocre coming out of Michigan, and he turns 26 next summer, so the likelihood of a post-hype breakout is remote. Cut bait and invest the space in a younger, higher-upside lottery ticket.
