Scouting report

LAC RB Kimani Vidal - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Cleveland Browns

We haven't really seen an expansion of Kimani Vidal's role since bursting onto the scene with a 38-yard touchdown reception against Denver in Week 6. While he did see a season-high 6 carries last week, his role in the passing game evaporated. Unfortunately, his efficiency on the ground is lacking as he's averaging just 2.8 yards per carry.

A tough matchup against the Browns is on tap as Cleveland ranks 6th aFPA against running backs. Efficiency isn't the name of the game against the Browns anyway, but he'll need to get back involved in the passing game to have any fantasy relevance. If you're desperate this week, he's a flex play, but you likely have better options.

LAC RB Kimani Vidal - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs New Orleans Saints

After an outstanding NFL debut, Kimani Vidal had a bit of a disappointing week against the Cardinals. He's unlikely in your lineup, but after his breakout performance you were probably hoping to see more than 3 carries and 1 target in the follow-up performance.

The Saints are 30th aFPA against running backs, so if Vidal gets any extended run he should be able to put up some decent numbers. Unfortunately, given how heavily the Chargers lean on J.K. Dobbins it would be tough to imagine Vidal getting extended run outside of garbage time. You likely have a better option somewhere, but he's obviously worth stashing.

LAC RB Kimani Vidal - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Arizona Cardinals

Kimani Vidal truthers, unite! This is our time. Unfortunately, after scoring in his NFL debut, it's tough to use him as anything more than a desperation flex option with Gus Edwards on IR. Even in a solid matchup against the Cardinals (16th aFPA against running backs) it's tough to put Vidal in your lineup. He's definitely a name to monitor moving forward should anything happen to Dobbins.
