Who Should I Start? Kimani Vidal or Will Shipley

Saturday, October 4, 5:02 PM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal has been elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Washington Commanders. Vidal made his season debut last week, taking the roster spot of Najee Harris (Achilles). He played three percent of the offensive snaps and did not register a touch, but he did have a 25-yard kick return. He should occupy a similar depth role this weekend, playing on special teams while Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins handle the bulk of the offensive snaps.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley (oblique) was listed as a full participant on the team's Friday injury report and appears ready to return to game action this weekend against the Buccaneers. This comes after Shipley missed Philly's last two contests with an oblique injury suffered against the Cowboys. In his absence, fellow back A.J. Dillon has seen minimal action, with three carries in Week 2 and none the week after. Tank Bigsby is still yet to record an offensive stat with his new team. In his last appearance, Shipley had just three carries as Saquon Barkley's understudy. So, it seems unlikely that his comeback will change much, and he'll continue to be used sparingly. He's a decent handcuff to keep on standby, but otherwise Shipley should not see fantasy lineups in Week 4.
