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 one-year, $960,000 contract with the Chargers in October of 2025.
Four touches in Week 18 loss
Vidal rushed three times for 12 yards and caught one pass for a two-yard loss in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
After missing Week 17 with a neck strain, Vidal returned to handle four touches in a game the Chargers punted with an eye toward the playoffs. Jaret Patterson led the backfield with eight carries for 29 yards. Vidal should have more of a role next weekend in Los Angeles' wild-card matchup with New England, but Omarion Hampton (ankle) should be ready to go as the Bolts' lead back after resting against Denver. Hampton is the preferred fantasy option of the duo.

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
Likely to be joined by Hampton soon
Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that Omarion Hampton is "on track and looking good" for a Week 14 return against the Eagles, per Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site, so Vidal's time as the lead back is likely coming to a close.
ANALYSIS
Hampton was the clear top option in the backfield for the Chargers prior to sustaining an ankle injury that has sidelined Hampton since Week 5. Vidal has filled in admirably, recording at least 108 scrimmage yards in four of seven games since Hampton got hurt, but Hampton is likely to reclaim a prominent role as soon as he's return. Whether working in a split backfield or as a backup to Hampton, Vidal's likely to see a reduction in opportunities once Hampton's activated from injured reserve, which could be as soon as Monday's game against the Eagles.
