5. Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers entered the season with a formidable running back duo in veteran Najee Harris and first-round pick Omarion Hampton. However, both players are currently on the injured reserve, forcing the team to entrust their rushing attack to Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins. While Hampton will return to the field, Harris is done for the season, and a Breece Hall trade could upgrade this backfield.
The only reason the Chargers aren’t higher on this list is that Vidal has done a remarkable job while filling in for Hampton. So far on the season, the running back has recorded 279 rushing yards and one touchdown on 54 carries, good for 5.2 yards per attempt. He’s more than capable of being the RB2 when Hampton returns, so perhaps the Chargers should target a cheaper running back like Jerome Ford to be their short-term RB2 and long-term RB3.
