Who Should I Start? Jeremy McNichols or Kimani Vidal

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols found the end zone for the second straight game on Sunday afternoon. McNichols saw most of the attempts late in the game as the Commanders had a sizeable lead against the Browns. In the second half, McNichols ran the ball seven times for 44 yards and a touchdown. Despite his limited opportunities, the 28-year-old continued his hot stretch after scoring twice and totaling 68 yards in Week 4. However, given how he only saw the field late into the game, he remains a solid stash option and a desperation flex play in deeper formats.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal and wide receiver Brenden Rice have officially been ruled inactive on Sunday. Vidal has been making strides to make his way onto the roster and was thought to be in the mix to get meaningful snaps along with Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins. Hassan Haskins will be the one to move into the third-string role in the backfield. In terms of Brenden Rice, he was also expected to get some snaps as the fourth wideout but will miss the season opener. Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, and Ladd McConkey will see the bulk of the opportunities in the receiving corps. Vidal and Rice's statuses will be something to monitor heading into Week 2, but they're more viable as stashes in dynasty formats right now.
