Kimani Vidal News
Thursday, March 26, 6:40 AM
Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal played a surprisingly prominent role in his team's offense in 2025, recording 779 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 171 touches across 13 games (10 starts). After opening the year on the practice squad in Los Angeles, Vidal was thrust into a starting role after Chargers' backs Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris (Achilles) were both forced onto Injured Reserve, Hampton by an ankle injury and Harris with a torn Achilles tendon. However, Vidal's role with the Chargers could be significantly diminished in 2026. Hampton should enter training camp fully healthy and profiles as the team's clear lead back. Los Angeles also signed former Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell to a two-year contract in free agency, which could signify that Mitchell has the edge on Vidal for the team's RB2 role. Vidal could still be worth rostering in deep dynasty formats as a depth piece, but his stock is fading given his murky playing time outlook in Los Angeles.

LeQuint Allen Jr. News
Saturday, March 14, 8:59 AM
A seventh-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. did well to carve out any sort of role in his team's offense as a rookie. While Allen Jr. logged only 33 touches across 17 games, he played double-digit offensive snaps in 15 contests and seemingly earned the trust of his coaching staff in a third-down role. Former Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. recently signed with the New Orleans Saints in free agency, leaving a significant number of backfield touches in Jacksonville up for grabs heading into 2026. The Jaguars have a promising young back in Bhayshul Tuten and also signed former Washington Commanders rusher Chris Rodriguez Jr., both of whom could block off Allen Jr.'s path to early-down work. However, neither Tuten nor Rodriguez Jr. profiles as much of a receiver out of the backfield. Allen Jr. could emerge as Jacksonville's primary receiving back and may be worth rostering in deep dynasty formats heading into 2026.
