Chargers Beat: RB Kimani Vidal has strong week of practice

The Athletic

Aug 19 · 10:43 AM EDT

I left Kimani Vidal off my 53-man roster projection after Week 1 of the preseason. My grade at that stage was “incomplete.” He had missed a week of practice, including the joint session with the Rams, before not playing in the preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks. You have to earn your spot in the NFL, and that will especially be the case under Harbaugh. Vidal had a strong week of practice last week. He followed that up with a solid performance in his first game action. I have moved him ahead of Isaiah Spiller and onto the 53-man in my running projection.

Related players: Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins, Jaret Patterson

Fantasy Impact:

If you remember, we reported on this a few weeks ago when this writer left Vidal off the team's 53-man roster. Vidal was at least a popular dynasty selection up to this point, given the Chargers state at RB. However, Vidal looks to be making a move up the depth chart with solid, recent practices and preseason game showing. Edwards and Dobbins appear to be leading the way at the position with Patterson also having a nice camp. Vidal looks like he still has a lot of work to do to at least be the team's RB3.

LAC RB Gus Edwards - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Carolina Panthers

As long as J.K. Dobbins is healthy and looking as explosive as he did last week on his long touchdown run you're essentially going to be hoping Gus Edwards hits the end zone once or twice himself. Unfortunately that's really the only path forward with a healthy Dobbins. Jamaal Williams is a similar back in a somewhat similar situation and he managed to put up about 12 points last week with a touchdown. That's about what you're hoping for from Edwards. He's a flex option if you're desperate because the matchup is pretty good.
