Kimani Vidal Week 16 Outlook - Broncos at Chargers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 19th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Over the last two weeks, Vidal has taken over as the lead back for Los Angeles, but it hasn't led to a ton of volume. He has averaged a 60% snap share with 6.5 touches and 29 total yards. Vidal hasn't posted an explosive run in either game and only had 2.18 yards after contact per attempt, but in this small sample, he has delivered an impressive 27% missed tackle rate. The Bolts need to recommit to running the ball. This isn't exactly the best matchup to do so, but this offense has been floundering as of late as they don't have the aerial weapons to truly lean into being a pass-first team. Vidal is a low-end flex play again this week. Since Week 10, Denver has allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game, the third-lowest missed tackle rate, and logged the highest stuff rate.
