Kimani Vidal fantasy football news and podcast insights

Been getting a good bit of R18 Vidal (8%) and very little Keaton (less than 1%). Seems pretty clear that ~180 pound Keaton Mitchell is not going to have a massive/clear 1A role should Hampton go down, Vidal profiles much more clearly for that (and showed he could handle it quite well last year). Vidal impressed when given volume last year (over 100 scrimmage yards in ALL 5 gms w/ 15+ touches last year, 4.8 YPC in these games) and was clearly trusted in pass-pro even when Hampton returned (pla...

"Omarion Hampton is the starter, and it'd make sense if Keaton Mitchell gets like 8 touches per game. The Mike McDaniel "wanted" posters storyline, ya know? Still, I can't help but wonder if Kimani Vidal is ACTUALLY the fantasy handcuff who would take on most of the work if Hampton got hurt. Kinda like the Ray Davis - Ty Johnson dynamic in Buffalo behind James Cook. Make sense?" Steak 'n Shake cashier: Sir please leave.
