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.

RANKS
Signed a contract with the Chargers in October of 2025.
Thrives in Week 8 win
Vidal rushed 23 times for 117 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for 10 yards in the Chargers' 37-10 win over the Vikings on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Following an impressive Week 6 showing against the Dolphins where Vidal compiled a career-best 124 yards, the 2024 sixth-round pick was stymied by the Colts to the tune of 20 yards on just nine carries Sunday. However, the second-year pro bounced back in spectacular fashion Thursday, averaging just over 5.0 yards per tote while rattling off three runs of double-digit yardage. He also added a three-yard scoring run early in the second quarter for his first NFL touchdown, rounding out his night nicely. Vidal appears fully capable of holding down the fort in the ground attack until Omarion Hampton (IR, ankle) is ready to return, and he could well put together a successful encore on the road in Week 9 when Los Angeles faces the vulnerable Titans on Nov. 2.

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.
