Who Should I Start? Jacob Kibodi or Kimani Vidal

Sunday, August 25, 8:37 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Jacob Kibodi strung together an impressive performance in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. Kibodi carried the ball 12 times for 59 yards and two touchdowns, making his biggest impact yet this preseason. The 25-year-old undrafted rookie out of Louisiana is fighting for a spot on the practice squad with Fresno State product Jordan Mims, who has had a solid preseason.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal could see his role increase in the Wild Card Round against the Houston Texans. With starting running back J.K. Dobbins (ankle) questionable to play and Gus Edwards (ankle) returning from a two-game absence, Vidal could be needed as the next guy up. He showed some positive signs in his rookie year, but struggled to see the field near the end of the season, appearing on 11% of the team's offensive snaps in Week 17 and on only one snap total in Week 18. Still, if Dobbins is unable to suit up, Vidal figures to have a role in the backfield, especially since the presumed starter Edwards is usually a non-factor in the passing game. Vidal would not be worth fantasy consideration if Dobbins plays, however.
