News: 6 days agoVidal rushed five times for 25 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Seahawks. He added two catches for 11 yards and a touchdown on three targets.

Spin: Vidal, Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell split playing time evenly, as Mitchell logged 26 snaps to 25 each for Vidal and Hampton. The Chargers are looking for answers on offense, and giving Vidal more looks appears to be an avenue the team is willing to explore. Vidal scored on a nine-yard catch in the third quarter after entering Week 4 with just two touches across the first three games. Involved in a three-man backfield committee, he's not yet a viable fantasy starter ahead of next Sunday's date with Denver.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Returning for his third year with the Chargers, Vidal is set to compete with newcomer Keaton Mitchell for change-of-pace touches behind Omarion Hampton. Vidal had some big moments in 2025, clearing 17 fantasy points in four games, but the notable disclaimer here is that Hampton was sidelined for all of those outings. In fact, Vidal scored only 4.1 fantasy PPG in his other nine games. The 2024 sixth-round pick is a fine depth player who showed he can handle big workloads when needed, but he'll be worth rostering only should Hampton miss time and, even then, Mitchell figures to play a role.
