Kimani Vidal at Kansas City: Efficient Spark Faces Tough Workload Cap
Vidal flashed his big-play ability by breaking away for a 42-yard touchdown against Denver, but he remains behind Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell in the backfield rotation. While he has averaged an efficient 6.3 yards per carry in limited work, his overall snaps and opportunities remain tightly capped.
Entering a tough road matchup against the 4-0 Chiefs where the Chargers are heavy underdogs, game script could severely limit ground volume. Our projections anticipate roughly six carries for 23 yards and one reception, yielding approximately 5.9 fantasy points. Rostered in only 4% of leagues, Vidal remains strictly a bench stash until backfield injuries create clearer volume.

Mike Washington vs BUF — Seeking a Rebound in a Projected Shootout
Mike Washington Jr. serves as the primary complement behind starter Ashton Jeanty in the Raiders' backfield. After seeing just one carry last week, offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak acknowledged the staff abandoned the run too early and noted he must get Washington more opportunities moving forward.
While Kubiak's comments offer encouragement, Washington is rostered in nearly 50% of leagues but started in only 4%. In what projects to be a high-scoring home matchup against Buffalo, our projections expect roughly 5 carries for 23 rushing yards and under a catch (4.4 fantasy points). He remains a touchdown-dependent bench stash until consistent touch volume materializes.
