Chargers Scour Market for RB Help as Haskins, Vidal Step In vs. Dolphins

The front office is exploring trades before Nov. 4 following backfield injuries.

Overview

  • NFL.com reports the Chargers are calling teams for a running back, seeking either a starter or depth ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.
  • With Najee Harris out for the season and Omarion Hampton on injured reserve, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal will handle Week 6 carries in Miami.
  • Coach Jim Harbaugh and coordinator Greg Roman framed the situation as an opportunity for the duo, while practice-squad backs Nyheim Hines and Amar Johnson remain contingency options.
  • Names floated in reporting include Alvin Kamara and Breece Hall, though at least one report says Kamara is not expected to be moved, and other coverage has mentioned possibilities such as Jerome Ford and, more speculatively, Derrick Henry.
  • Fantasy outlets characterize the backfield as uncertain for now, with Vidal viewed as slightly stronger in PPR formats and Haskins a potential goal-line option, making both FLEX-level plays in Week 6.
