Outlook Kimani Vidal

Kimani Vidal Faces Tough Path to Touches in Low-Scoring Texans Clash

Kimani Vidal remains healthy but firmly operating in a complementary role behind Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell in the Chargers' backfield rotation. Earlier in the season, Vidal flashed burst with a 42-yard score, but his weekly workload has settled into a minor share, seeing roughly seven to eight carries per outing.

This week brings an uphill battle in a low-scoring projected matchup against Houston. Our projections anticipate about 29 rushing yards and 1 to 2 catches, yielding roughly 6.6 to 8.2 fantasy points. Given that he is started in just 8% of leagues, fantasy managers should keep him on benches unless desperate in deep formats.
