Who Should I Start? Kimani Vidal or Terrell Jennings

Friday, November 21, 11:13 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal has been up and down as the team's primary rushing option over the previous few weeks. However, LA's backfield is due for a shift with teammate Omarion Hampton (ankle) working his way back to full health. Consistency has been an issue for Vidal, posting three outings of 95 or more rushing yards that were followed up with a performance of 30 or fewer. He was a fine fill-in while the team dealt with a myriad of injuries, but is set to see his touch share drop significantly as the rookie was expected to return at some point after the Chargers' bye week. It isn't a guarantee that Hampton will play when the team lines up against the Raiders in Week 13, meaning Vidal may have another week or two where he's playable. Still, his time as a viable fantasy asset is running thin.

New England Patriots running back Terrell Jennings has been a non-factor in the offense in recent weeks. Jennings only saw four carries in Week 10 and didn't play any offensive snaps against the New York Jets last week. TreVeyon Henderson has been excellent over the last two games, so Jennings hasn't been needed in the rushing game. Fellow back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is currently questionable to suit up against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. If he returns, Jennings is unlikely to touch the field at all. Regardless, Jennings is expected to have a minimal role in the offense going forward.
