Kimani Vidal Rest-of-Season Outlook
Efficient depth RB for deep leagues only
RB80 through Week 4 · 1.0 PPG · 2.37 yds after contact/carry
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB42 last season at 9.1 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Preseason outlook originally published .
Through 3 games he's RB80 at 1.0 PPR points per game, against 9.1 over 13 games last season (RB42). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 27th of 95 in rushing volume (11.9 carries per game), 46th of 95 in receiving role (1.7 targets per game) and 18th of 95 in efficiency (2.37 yards after contact per carry). His points come from his efficiency. Receiving role is the soft spot. Justin Herbert is his quarterback.
He's RB3 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchup is the Broncos in Week 5 (6th against RBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Vidal already showed he can carry a backfield when called on. Across 13 games in 2025 he turned 155 carries into 643 yards at 4.15 a pop with three scores, added 16 catches for 136, and banked 101.9 fantasy points on a 54.5% snap share. The explosiveness is real: 13 runs of 10-plus, four of 20-plus, a 59-yard touchdown, and 2.37 yards after contact per attempt behind a line that left him 23 negative-yardage carries. His -0.075 EPA per play is below average but a clear step up from 2024's -0.128 on far heavier volume.
The ceiling is gated by Omarion Hampton, who locks down the LAC starting job, with Keaton Mitchell pushing for the No. 2 role. As a re-signed exclusive-rights back drafted around pick 227, Vidal is a late-round handcuff. But he flashed RB2 weeks while Hampton's foot healed, so any injury makes him an immediate weekly play.

Kimani Vidal Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Kimani Vidal's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Kimani Vidal projects as an efficient depth RB for deep leagues only for the rest of the 2026 season: waiver-wire material in 12-team PPR, 10-team PPR and half-PPR leagues. His efficiency (2.37 yards after contact per carry, 18th of 95 RBs in 2025) supports that. His receiving role (1.7 targets per game, 46th of 95 RBs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Kimani Vidal's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Kimani Vidal is the RB80 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in depth RB territory, waiver-wire material in 10-team PPR leagues.
What is Kimani Vidal's projected role going forward?
Kimani Vidal is RB3 on the depth chart, so a bigger role needs an injury or a change ahead of him.
Will Kimani Vidal get more touches?
Kimani Vidal's touches are holding steady: 2.0 a game over his last two games against 1.3 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.
What is Kimani Vidal's fantasy football upside?
Kimani Vidal's upside: his ceiling this season is 3.0 PPR points (Week 3, RB56), his efficiency (2.37 yards after contact per carry, 18th of 95 RBs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on and the Broncos in Week 5 is a top-10 matchup for RBs.
What could hurt Kimani Vidal's fantasy value?
Kimani Vidal's risks: his receiving role (1.7 targets per game, 46th of 95 RBs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Seahawks in Week 4 and the Rams in Week 8 are tough matchups. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Kimani Vidal's remaining fantasy schedule?
Difficult: of his next seven games, 2 come against a top-10 matchup for RBs and 3 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.
