Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Kimani Vidal

Monday, November 18, 1:02 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins scored two touchdowns in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Dobbins ran the ball 11 times, gaining 56 yards and scoring on the ground twice. He was only targeted once in the passing game and made the grab for a three-yard gain. Dobbins ran well in this one despite a usually strong Bengals run defense. His first touchdown was on a one-yard goal line plunge in the second quarter, and his second was a game-clincher in the fourth quarter that came on a 29-yard rush with 18 seconds left. Dobbins was once again in charge of this backfield despite only tallying 11 carries, as all other Chargers running backs combined for eight total carries. Dobbins will again be on the RB2 radar next week on Monday Night Football against the Ravens.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal is not an option in Week 10 fantasy lineups. Vidal has played a direct backup role to starter J.K. Dobbins this season, but Dobbins has been on the field for the vast majority of snaps and Vidal only gets a handful of touches per game, if that. With Gus Edwards (ankle) working his way back from IR, Vidal's small role could get even smaller soon. While Edwards isn't likely to play in Week 10, he could return the following week and push Vidal lower on the depth chart. Vidal should be rostered in deeper dynasty leagues, but can be left on most standard league's waiver wires at this point.
