Kimani Vidal's Volume Could Offset Tough Matchup

Friday, October 17, 6:06 PM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal proved himself as the clear leader in the backfield during the team's 29-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins, handling 70% of the snaps and rushing for 124 yards on 18 carries. He also caught three passes for 14 yards and scored a touchdown. Vidal's tough running, which averaged 6.89 yards per carry last week, helped lighten the load on quarterback Justin Herbert. Although the Indianapolis Colts have a strong rush defense, Vidal's likely heavy usage, especially with fellow backup running back Hassan Haskins listed as Questionable (chest), makes him a solid volume-based starter. RotoBaller projects Vidal as RB21 this week. He is a low-end RB2 and should be in your lineup, especially if Haskins is limited.
