Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Aonther TD in Week 5
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.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Records TD on seven touches in loss
Vidal 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.
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.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Not a factor once again
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.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Sees little playing time Week 1
Vidal played five snaps (four on offense, one on special teams) and didn't show up on the box score otherwise during the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
Vidal was an afterthought in the Chargers' plans on offense, with Omarion Hampton (32 snaps) and Keaton Mitchell (17) collectively getting the bulk of the backfield work Week 1. Vidal also wasn't used as a returner, though that could change for Week 2 against the Raiders on Sept. 20 if Derius Davis (undisclosed) is ruled out for that contest.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Tallies six snaps in preseason finale
Vidal totaled six offensive snaps in Thursday's exhibition loss to the Rams, recording nine yards on three carries.
Top RB Omarion Hampton started for the Chargers and played two series. Vidal followed and rushed for five yards on his first carry before losing a yard on the next play. He was on the field for a few more snaps during the Chargers' next series before calling it a day. Keaton Mitchell (undisclosed) didn't play in the contest, and it's unclear what precise issue he's dealing with it or how long he'll be sidelined. There's been no indication to this point that Mitchell is in danger of missing Week 1 of the regular season, but if that were to change, Vidal would be slated for an increased role behind Hampton.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Plays 19 offensive snaps Thursday
Vidal turned four carries into six yards while catching both targets for 10 yards during the Chargers' 41-17 preseason loss to the 49ers on Thursday. He also returned one kickoff for 27 yards.
Vidal was the third running back with a touch behind Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell, and Vidal's 19 snaps on offense were most among Chargers running backs. Vidal's production Thursday was not as good as his performance in the Chargers' preseason opener against the Texans, and it looks like Mitchell is in the lead for the RB2 job behind Hampton. The Chargers wrap up their preseason this Thursday against the Rams.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Starts preseason opener
Vidal got the start in Thursday's 27-7 preseason win over the Texans and rushed five times for eight yards while failing to catch his only target.
The Chargers rested starting running back Omarion Hampton for the preseason opener, and offseason addition Keaton Mitchell didn't register a touch. This was a quiet performance from Vidal, but the 2024 sixth-round pick remains in the mix for touches behind Hampton after a solid sophomore season in which Vidal produced 779 regular-season scrimmage yards.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Set to be utilized in committee
Vidal was listed a co-backup in the the Chargers' first unofficial depth chart Monday, Eric Smith of the team's official website reports.
Vidal and offseason addition Keaton Mitchell were listed as the top backup options behind starter Omarion Hampton ahead of the team's preseason opener Thursday in Houston. Vidal returned to Los Angeles on a one-year deal in the offseason after turning 155 carries into 643 yards and three scores across 13 regular-season contests in 2025, and he's expected to be utilized as a part of a backfield committee in 2026. New offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel outlined that he will use all three of Hampton, Vidal and Mitchell every game, leaning on the "hot hand," which he described as "bad news" for fantasy managers and good news for him.
