Vidal tallied eight carries for 57 yards and one touchdown, one catch (on two targets) for minus-1 yard and returned three kicks for 75 yards during Sunday's 23-17 defeat to the Broncos.
After opening the season with no touches through the first two games -- and just two in Week 3 -- Vidal has taken full advantage of his 16 over the last two contests, turning them into 92 yards from scrimmage and two TDs. All three of the Chargers' running backs got in the mix Sunday, with Omarion Hampton earning 15 touches and Keaton Mitchell getting six, but Vidal was the only one of the trio with an end-zone visit. Considering his recent success, Vidal appears likely to hold on to a regular role next Sunday at Kansas City.
Vidal didn't get a touch during Sunday's 26-14 loss to Las Vegas.
Vidal logged four offensive snaps in a 26-14 loss to Arizona in Week 1 and was only slightly more involved in Week 2 with seven snaps, and he went without a rushing attempt for a second straight game. The 25-year-old had some productive outings during 2025 thanks to injuries ahead of him on the depth chart, finishing with 643 rushing yards and three touchdowns off 155 carries while adding 16 receptions for 136 yards and one touchdown. However, it's been a different story in 2026, with Vidal spending most of his time on special teams. His fantasy outlook doesn't look promising as long as Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell are available.
Everyone sharing the ball with Kimani, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
