Vidal (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Vidal -- who was also inactive last week -- could find himself in the Chargers' backfield mix in time, but for now the 2024 sixth-rounder is off the weekly lineup radar. Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins and Hassan Haskins are slated to handle the Chargers' RB duties in Week 2.

Vidal (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Raiders. Vidal could find himself in the mix down the road, but the 2024 sixth-rounder will have to wait to make his regular-season debut. Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins and Hassan Haskins are available to handle the Chargers' Week 1 backfield duties.

Vidal is expected to handle some of the third-down duties out of the Chargers' backfield this season, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports. It makes all of the sense in the world, as both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards are prototypical between-the-tackles, early-down grinders. Vidal beat out Isaiah Spiller for a roster spot in Los Angeles, and only Hassan Haskins rounds out the depth chart. Haskins is another early-down thumper. Vidal is unlikely to come into any meaningful fantasy value unless one of Dobbins or Edwards gets hurt and opens up more playing time.

I'm hopeful that Vidal will be at least the No. 3 running back for the Chargers behind Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins, and that makes Vidal someone to stash in deeper leagues. Edwards is 29 and Dobbins can't stay healthy, so Vidal could find himself with a big role at some point this season on a Chargers team that should excel at running the ball.

Vidal had 11 carries for 49 yards with two receptions (three targets) for eight yards in Saturday's preseason tilt against the Rams. Vidal was deemed a healthy scratch in the Chargers' preseason opener last week, but the tailback was reportedly dealing with a minor injury leading up to the contest, Gavino Borquez of USA Today reports. The sixth-round selection appeared to be operating at full strength Saturday when he led his team in rushing yards in the absence of J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards (coach's decision). Vidal was the second back to touch the football for the Chargers despite finishing as the top producer, as Jaret Patterson earned the first running back touch in the exhibition loss. The latter finished with 38 combined yards on nine touches as the two young backs continue to duke it out on the depth chart this preseason.
