  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Week 14 Waiver Priority List

    With J.K. Dobbins (knee) on injured reserve, Vidal will be the No. 2 running back for the Chargers behind Gus Edwards until at least Week 17. In Week 13 at Atlanta, Edwards played 52 percent of the snaps, while Vidal was at 26 percent. He only had four carries for 20 yards, but hopefully he'll get more touches moving forward. He doesn't have an easy matchup in Week 14 at Kansas City, but then Vidal faces Tampa Bay in Week 15, which is favorable. He is worth adding in all leagues for 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Doesn't see major bump in work

    Vidal registered just four carries for 20 yards in the 17-13 win over the Falcons on Sunday. It's hard to get very excited about this performance given the expectation was Vidal would see a substantial uptick in work due to J.K. Dobbins (knee) being placed on injured reserve, but to add some perspective, the Falcons turned the ball over four times and sported a nearly 12-minute advantage in the time-of-possession battle. Vidal's four touches were fewer than Gus Edwards' seven (including one reception for one yard), but neither back really got rolling in a disjointed overall offensive performance by the Chargers. Hassan Haskins, who played ahead of Vidal in the Week 12 loss, had just one carry in which he fumbled the ball, so at the very least the rookie Vidal should be considered the No. 2 back moving forward.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: May have role again

    Vidal may help replace J.K. Dobbins, who is expected to miss Sunday's game at Atlanta after suffering a knee sprain in Monday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports. Vidal played in four games earlier this season, averaging 4.5 carries for 11.0 yards (2.4 YPC) and 0.75 catches for 12.3 yards. He took his first NFL touch for a 38-yard receiving touchdown on a wheel route but then didn't do much thereafter and became a healthy inactive again once Gus Edwards returned from injured reserve. Edwards will likely take over as the lead runner, with Vidal and Haskins in backup roles. Vidal could be the pass-catching back in that arrangement, as Edwards and Haskins both are listed above 225 pounds and known for size and power more so than quickness or receiving ability.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Inactive Monday

    Vidal is inactive for Monday night's game against the Ravens, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports. With Vidal a healthy scratch for the third straight contest, the Chargers' running back duties versus Baltimore will be handled by J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Hassan Haskins. Vidal is off the fantasy radar unless injuries hit the team's backfield.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Inactive Sunday

    Vidal is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Bengals. With Vidal a healthy scratch for the second straight game, the Chargers' Week 11 RB duties will be handled by J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Hassan Haskins. In that context, the 2024 sixth-rounder will be off the fantasy radar unless injuries hit the team's backfield.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Healthy scratch for Week 10

    Vidal (coach's decision) is inactive against the Titans on Sunday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports. Vidal has served as the Chargers' No. 3 running back for the last four regular-season games, but he will observe Sunday's game in street clothes. Gus Edwards and Hassan Haskins will be the Chargers' backup running backs behind J.K. Dobbins.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Limited action in Week 9

    Vidal carried the ball five times for seven yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Browns. Vidal played 11 of the Chargers' 57 offensive snaps Sunday, well behind starter J.K. Dobbins (42). The rookie running back's seven total yards were the fewest he's gained in the four games in which he's been active this season. If Gus Edwards (ankle) returns from injured reserve soon, Vidal's already limited role could become even smaller.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Week 10 Waiver Priority List

    J.K. Dobbins is about to set a career-high in carries for the season, and hopefully, he continues to stay healthy. His best year was 134 carries in 15 games as a rookie in 2020, and he has 126 carries through eight games prior to Week 10 against Tennessee. Should Dobbins miss any time, then Vidal is a lottery ticket in waiting. He would be a potential must-start running back in all leagues if Dobbins ever gets hurt, and Vidal is worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Minimal production in Week 8

    Vidal rushed six times for 16 yards in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Saints. Vidal played just 11 of the Chargers 66 offensive snaps Sunday, while starter J.K. Dobbins handled the majority of snaps (54) at running back against the Saints. Vidal has totaled just 13 rushes for 37 yards in three games, operating as the Chargers No. 2 back with Gus Edwards (ankle) on injured reserve. Edwards could return in Week 10, though there has been no update on whether he'll be ready by then. With that said, Vidal holds little fantasy value at this stage, especially with Edwards potentially returning soon. The rookie would need an injury to Dobbins to gain fantasy relevance going forward. Vidal and the Chargers will visit the Browns in Week 9.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Week 9 Waiver Priority List

    Vidal is a lottery ticket to stash as the No. 2 running back for the Chargers behind J.K. Dobbins, and Vidal is worth adding in all leagues for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB. If Dobbins were to miss any time, then Vidal would be a borderline starter in all leagues. Through three games, Vidal has 13 carries for 37 yards and three catches for 49 yards, and a touchdown on three targets.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Four touches against Cardinals

    Vidal rushed three times for 10 yards while also catching his lone target for nine yards in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals. Vidal played just 18 of the Chargers 66 offensive snaps Monday, operating as the No. 2 running back behind J.K. Dobbins. The latter dominated in playing time (45 snaps) while also handling 17 touches on his way to 66 total yards from scrimmage. Vidal should continue to play the backup role with Gus Edwards (ankle) on injured reserve, though Dobbins should keep getting the majority of the workload out of the Los Angeles backfield.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Week 8 Waiver Priority List

    Vidal didn't do much in Week 7 at Arizona with three carries for 10 yards and one catch for 9 yards on one target. But he's a lottery ticket to stash as the No. 2 running back for the Chargers behind J.K. Dobbins, and Vidal is worth adding in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB. If Dobbins were to miss any time then Vidal would be a borderline starter in all leagues.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Scores first career touchdown

    Vidal carried the ball four times for 11 yards and also caught both of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the 23-16 win over the Broncos on Sunday. Vidal's touchdown came on a brilliantly schemed wheel route in the first quarter, as the rookie caught a perfectly thrown ball in stride for a 30-yard touchdown. Otherwise the 2024 sixth-round pick was held in check as J.K. Dobbins saw a large workload (25 carries, two targets) in the first game since Gus Edwards (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. It's at least encouraging to see Vidal push aside Hassan Haskins (two carries, five yards), who had been playing over the rookie on game days to give the team some special-teams versatility. Expect Vidal to see a few more opportunities in the coming weeks as the Chargers look to replace the loss of Edwards.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Poised to enter backfield mix

    With Gus Edwards (ankle) having landed on IR ahead of Week 6 action, per Kris Rhim of ESPN, Vidal is on track to to be active Sunday against the Broncos. Now that Edwards is slated to miss at least four contests, Vidal -- who's been inactive for the Chargers' first four outings thus far -- is poised to enter the team's backfield mix Sunday, alongside Hassan Haskins and top back J.K. Dobbins. It remains to be seen how much work Vidal sees in his looming NFL regular-season debut, but with Edwards sidelined and Dobbins' injury history in mind, Vidal, a 2024 sixth-rounder, is worthy of roster consideration for those with the flexibility to add him to see how Los Angeles' RB situation unfolds in the coming weeks.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Inactive Sunday

    Vidal (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Vidal -- who was also inactive last week -- could find himself in the Chargers' backfield mix in time, but for now the 2024 sixth-rounder is off the weekly lineup radar. Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins and Hassan Haskins are slated to handle the Chargers' RB duties in Week 2.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Inactive Sunday

    Vidal (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Raiders. Vidal could find himself in the mix down the road, but the 2024 sixth-rounder will have to wait to make his regular-season debut. Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins and Hassan Haskins are available to handle the Chargers' Week 1 backfield duties.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Likely to handle passing work

    Vidal is expected to handle some of the third-down duties out of the Chargers' backfield this season, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports. It makes all of the sense in the world, as both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards are prototypical between-the-tackles, early-down grinders. Vidal beat out Isaiah Spiller for a roster spot in Los Angeles, and only Hassan Haskins rounds out the depth chart. Haskins is another early-down thumper. Vidal is unlikely to come into any meaningful fantasy value unless one of Dobbins or Edwards gets hurt and opens up more playing time.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Week 1 Waiver Priority List

    I'm hopeful that Vidal will be at least the No. 3 running back for the Chargers behind Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins, and that makes Vidal someone to stash in deeper leagues. Edwards is 29 and Dobbins can't stay healthy, so Vidal could find himself with a big role at some point this season on a Chargers team that should excel at running the ball.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Leads team in rushing Saturday

    Vidal had 11 carries for 49 yards with two receptions (three targets) for eight yards in Saturday's preseason tilt against the Rams. Vidal was deemed a healthy scratch in the Chargers' preseason opener last week, but the tailback was reportedly dealing with a minor injury leading up to the contest, Gavino Borquez of USA Today reports. The sixth-round selection appeared to be operating at full strength Saturday when he led his team in rushing yards in the absence of J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards (coach's decision). Vidal was the second back to touch the football for the Chargers despite finishing as the top producer, as Jaret Patterson earned the first running back touch in the exhibition loss. The latter finished with 38 combined yards on nine touches as the two young backs continue to duke it out on the depth chart this preseason.

  • Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Not getting first-team work

    Vidal has been working with backups in training camp while J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards have been receiving first-team reps, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. It shouldn't really be a surprise that a rookie sixth-round pick isn't getting first-team reps when the team has two backs with NFL starting experience under the current offensive coordinator (Greg Roman, who held the same job in Baltimore from 2019 to 2022). The good news for Vidal is that he has a few viable paths to playing time, potentially aided by Dobbins' lengthy medical record (43 missed games in four seasons) and Edwards' history of minimal receiving contributions (30 catches in 69 career games). It's also worth noting that Vidal has a strong prospect profile relative to most Day 3 picks, having run a 4.46-second 40-yard dash time at 5-foot-8 and 213 pounds, after amassing 4,010 yards rushing yards and 33 touchdowns in four seasons at Troy. The first step for Vidal is to push ahead of 2022 fourth-round pick Isaiah Spiller and lock down the third spot on the depth chart.
