Chargers Beat: Kimani Vidal could be team's answer at RB

Oct 14, 2025

Kimani Vidal’s performance Sunday could change how the Chargers approach the running back market ahead of November’s trade deadline. Omarion Hampton must miss at least three more games. When Hampton does return, the Chargers will need a second back to pair with him.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said the Chargers were going to be in the market for a running back with Najee Harris out for the season. But the author went on to say Vidal's performance may change the team's approach. The story added Vidal will likely need to string together more performances like last week. Looking like the odd man out to start the year, Vidal was convinced to sign with the practice squad. The story added Vidal's also improved in pass protection, making him a possible option for passing situations and third down snaps, even when Hampton returns.

49ers hope TE George Kittle (hamstring) returns to practice this week

Mike Garafolo on X

Kyle Shanahan says the team hopes TE George Kittle (hamstring) returns to practice this week.

Fantasy Impact:

The 49ers could certainly use some good news on the injury front. Kittle has been out with a hamstring injury since Week 1, when he caught four balls for 25 yards and a TD. He would likely be a big-time target for whoever is playing quarterback for the 49ers. It's a Sunday night game against Atlanta in Week 7, so owners will need to monitor Kittle this week and have a plan in place.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (oblique) OUT for MNF

Bills TE Dalton Kinkaid is OUT for Monday Night Football.

Related players: Dawson Knox, Cole Kmet

Fantasy Impact:

Kinkaid was able to practice this week but will not suit up for this week's game on Monday night. A lot of owners could be in a bit of a bind, but Knox could be a serviceable option on your wire. Kmet, of the Bears who also plays on Monday night, could also be an option.

Cardinals say Kyler Murray remains starting QB

Jonathan Gannon had no interest in the inevitable questions.

Will Kyler Murray remain the starting quarterback when he returns from his foot injury?

“Yeah.”

Why?

“He’s the starting quarterback.”

Related players: Jacoby Brissett

Fantasy Impact:

If you watched the Cardinals game you maybe couldn't help but notice the offense did seem to run a bit smoother with Brissett under center, even though the team fell to the Colts 31-37. Brissett threw for 320 yards and two TDs in the loss, he even ran for 19 more yards. It's possible Murray has to miss at least one more week according to some reports, so Brissett could get another chance, and it's another tough challenge against the Packers. The Cardinals do have a bye in Week 8.
