Omarion Hampton (ankle) is not going to return in Week 13 in opposition to the Raiders, which suggests Kimani Vidal will get one other likelihood to be the highest working again for the Chargers. And he needs to be thought-about a sleeper for this matchup.
Vidal is coming off a foul recreation in Week 11 at Jacksonville when he had 5 carries for 13 yards and two catches for minus-1 yard on two targets, however everybody for the Chargers was horrible in that contest. And we all know the sample for Vidal of being good in each different recreation, so he is on account of play properly, proper?
I am not relying on that, which is why Vidal is not a must-start working again. And the Raiders are center of the pack in opposition to opposing working backs at No. 18 in fewest Fantasy factors allowed, however 5 guys prior to now 5 video games in opposition to Las Vegas have scored no less than 12.4 PPR factors.
The rationale I like Vidal is the anticipated recreation script. He has scored no less than 17.8 PPR factors in every of his previous two dwelling video games in opposition to Minnesota and Pittsburgh, and he had no less than 24 whole touches in these outings. The Chargers received each of these video games by no less than two touchdowns, and they’re 9.5-point favorites on this recreation in opposition to the Raiders.
I take into account Vidal a No. 2 Fantasy working again within the majority of leagues for Week 13. This may be his final recreation because the starter for the Chargers, with Hampton on the verge of returning, and I anticipate Vidal to exit with a bang.
