Stephie Smalls and Chuck Bass dive into one of the ugliest waiver wire questions of Week 6: what to do with the Chargers backfield. Their answer? Don’t. With Nyheim Hines signed mainly for pass protection and no clear workload split behind Justin Herbert, this situation is nothing but a fantasy headache.
Instead of wasting waiver priority and roster space on a running back-by-committee nightmare, Stephie and Chuck point managers toward better stashes — like Kenneth Gainwell or Michael Carter if he’s still available. The duo makes it clear that chasing upside in a messy backfield is a trap, and you’re better off investing in players who can actually deliver consistent touches.
If you’ve been tempted to roll the dice on this backfield, let Stephie and Chuck save you the pain. Sometimes the best waiver move is knowing when to pass.
