BALLER MOVE: Si
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5
ANALYSIS: Outside of one long receiving touchdown on his first NFL touch in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal has produced minimally.

It's hard to project him to get enough touches to be meaningful in fantasy. Rookies tend to get worked into their new offenses slowly as well.
We've seen some boom and some bust games from Dobbins. His production has fallen off significantly when he's played a few games in a row, which could be due to his season-ending Achilles' tear last season, but it's hard to know for sure. For now, Vidal is little more than a handcuff stash.
