Garners ERFA tender from Bolts

March 6, 2026

The Chargers placed an exclusive-rights free-agent tender on Vidal on Friday.

ANALYSIS
It essentially locks Vidal in for the 2026 season after he got extended run last season following injuries to both Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris (Achilles). With Harris headed for free agency, Vidal could enter next season as the RB2 to Hampton after Vidal posted a 155-643-3 rushing line across 13 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also added 16 catches for 136 yards and one additional touchdown.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2025

2024

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.

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

Hampton planning on playing

RBLos Angeles Chargers

January 9, 2026

Vidal appears likely to share the Chargers backfield with Omarion Hampton during Sunday night's wild-card matchup against the Patriots, as the latter is planning on playing through his ankle injury, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

ANALYSIS
Hampton was able to get back on the practice field Friday, albeit on a limited basis, for the first time since Week 17 prep. However, Rhim reports that even if Hampton does suit up, Vidal will still see meaningful snaps, and he'd naturally step into the lead role should his rookie teammate suffer any in-game setback.
