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. He has just 13 carries across three games of NFL action to go along with three receptions, and totals just 37 rushing and 49 receiving yards on the season.

I’m not sure how much longer J.K. Dobbins can keep up this pace. Against the Saints, Dobbins touched the ball 21 times (17 rushes, 4 receptions). The Chargers are starting to work in Vidal as he had 6 carries against the Saints, but the main takeaway is that…

It is possible we start to see him more involved, but for now, this is J.K. Dobbins' backfield, and even if the split becomes more even, it will likely take some time. 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.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
