Kimani Vidal Scores Touchdown and Demonstrates High Efficiency in Week 8 Win

Friday, October 24, 12:17 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal totaled 23 carries, 117 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown during Thursday's Week 8 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He also caught one of his two targets for an additional 10 receiving yards. The 24-year-old capitalized on a positive game script and turned in a high-volume, high-efficiency performance on primetime. He has been quite effective since taking over for Omarion Hampton (ankle), averaging 16.7 rushing attempts, 2.7 receptions, 100 scrimmage yards, and 0.7 touchdowns per game over the last three weeks. Los Angeles is rumored to have serious interest in an external running back addition, but until that comes to fruition, Vidal will remain the Bolts' lead back. He has firmly established himself as the preferred option over Hassan Haskins, who had just one carry for three yards on Thursday Night Football.

Trevor Etienne Slides Back to RB3 Role with Hubbard's Return

Wednesday, October 22, 12:52 AM

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Trevor Etienne played only four snaps in Week 7's 13-6 win against the Jets. Etienne played 8, 14, and 11 offensive snaps in his last three games, totaling 14 carries for 72 yards and one reception for seven yards. With Chuba Hubbard returning from a calf injury on Sunday, the fourth-round rookie assumed the RB3 role and also contributed on special teams, including a 45-yard kick return and three punt returns for 35 yards. He's a solid stash in dynasty leagues but isn't rosterable in redraft formats.
