2025 Fantasy Outlook
During his rookie campaign last year, Vidal logged 43 carries for 155 yards while adding five catches for 62 yards and a TD in 10 regular-season games, while working in a backfield that also included J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. Ahead of Week 1 this time around, the 2024 sixth-rounder figures to compete with Hassan Haskins for depth slotting behind newcomers Najee Harris and Omarion Hampton, with Vidal's case for a roster spot/role in 2025 possibly hinging on him demonstrating that he can be a factor in the Chargers' passing game. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a contract with the Chargers in October of 2025.
Stymied in lopsided loss
Vidal rushed five times for 13 yards and brought in both targets for minus-1 yard in the Chargers' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Vidal was stonewalled on his few opportunities, and a game script that saw the Jaguars eventually pull away from the Chargers essentially put a quick end to any fantasy hopes the running back and his fantasy managers had. Vidal also battled through a thigh injury that led to a brief exit from the game, and he ultimately finished with his lowest rushing yardage total in any game during which he's logged any carries this season. Sunday may have been Vidal's final game in the lead-back role as well, as Omarion Hampton (IR, ankle) may be ready to return for a Week 13 home matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 30 following the Week 12 bye.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 2024 sixth-round pick, Vidal joins a Chargers backfield with minimal experience beyond ex-Ravens Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins. The rookie out of Troy has traits that should appeal to new Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman, as Vidal was tough to bring down in college and took 297 carries for 1,661 yards and 14 TDs last season alone. He's not especially elusive, but he showed potential in the passing game with at least 18 receptions in each of his four seasons at Troy, and he earned praise from both coaches and scouts for his pass blocking. Vidal's combination of bulk (5-8, 213) and speed (4.46 40) makes him far more interesting for fantasy than a typical sixth-round pick, especially within the context of a Chargers offense that's looking to run the ball more often despite having a shaky group of veteran RBs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for bigger role
Vidal will likely take on a bigger role over the next month-plus in the Chargers' backfield due to Omarion Hampton heading to IR with an ankle injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Hampton will miss at least four games, leaving rushing duties to Vidal and Hassan Haskins. Haskins has been primarily a special teams player since making his NFL debut in 2022 however, and he has averaged just 3.0 yards on 64 career carries, so his role on offense may not grow that much. Vidal, a sixth-round pick in 2024, hasn't been a whole lot better and has averaged 3.7 yards on 47 career totes, but he likely represents a better early-down option than Haskins.
