You NEED Kimani Vidal | 2024 Fantasy Football

we're looking for those Diamonds in the Rough for the later rounds of our fantasy drafts we're looking for those late round running backs to stash at the end of our bench one favorite stash play people are looking at is kamani vial running back for the Chargers he's got a lot of juice he's got that rushing production from college he's on a very ambiguous running back depth chart and there's a lot of opportunity within this offense if the Domino's Falls way we're going to dig deep into his prosp profile we're going to dig deep into the analytics to see whether or not you need them for fantasy football but what you need to do right now is click that subscribe button we're doing deep Dives on these players every day the late round picks the guys climbing up the waiver wire every single day during the season those guys climbing the depth chart on top of that we're helping you set your lineups we're helping you win the waiver wire with these videos click that button stop missing out we're looking at kamani Vall he was not a big time recruit coming out of high school we signed with Troy but we were productive in 2022 and 2023 in 2022 and 2023 over 1,000 yards each season 2023 went off with, 1600 yards and 14 touchdowns backto back Seasons with double digit touchdowns last year 94 Miss tackles forced one of the top running backs in college football with that number over 1,000 yards after contact 3.58 yards after contact per attempt every season he was over three yards after contact for T which is very solid very steady numbers and then yards after the catch perception last year 11.9 that means in the open field catching check Downs if he's got space to go he's going to rack up some yardage which is very interesting which is also very good for fantasy football but looking at the athletic specs 44640 yard dash a good size adjusted speed score at 2133 lbs he's compact at 5'8 he went the sixth round to the Chargers late round pick small school Prospect so we expect a ramp up period but he's been looking good in training camp he looked good in preseason he's on the 53 man roster he is 23 years old but that doesn't matter for redraft once he starts getting opportunities or if he starts getting opportunities in his way JK Dobbins Gus Edwards these two running backs have a huge injury history and could go down any moment especially JK Dobbins because all of us are aware of that Gus Edwards too that being said Harbaugh likes to run the ball and he likes his guys he signed Hassan H Haskins earlier this week he's on the practice squad right now and he's familiar with him he's another guy that could be competition later on down the road and another running back to look at in this offense but Harbaugh likes to run the rock he likes to have multiple running backs he had two good ones by the way Donovan Edwards Blake corm Blake km's a stud he's with the Rams right now one of the top running backs in the 2024 NFL draft class class of course that he was going to use him Donan Edwards has good pop but likes to use multiple Runners likes to run the clock likes to use the Run game but watching kamani vdal draft Capital ADP per Underdog the Marcus started to sour on him the reason why because there was a beat rider for the Chargers left him off the 53 man roster like week two of the pre season talking about how he did not know if he was going to make the team because he wasn't practicing he wasn't on the field the next week he lets us know that because vital was on the field he was looking good in preseason puts him back in the 53 the market over corrected Big Time vitals on the 53 looks like the rle still the same looking good in pre season if anything that was a blessing because that's going to allow us to get him at a discount he may go and drafted in your basic fantasy league in your home League Draft maybe nobody's drafting him he is like the rb3 on the team you're waiting for injuries injuries are like to happen with this backfield this team's likely going to be weird this season with a new coach with a weird depth chart that being said he's a guy pay attention to he's got good athleticism he's good between the tackles every time we watch him on tape he's doing something good especially in preseason his college tape checks out everything checks out besides him being a late round pick him being back there on the depth chart him coming from a small school everything else is going forward with him he just needs the opportunity but again you look at this range of the draft that's the story behind everybody but the opportunity is likely there due to the injury history of his running backs and he has the athletic upside to get it done you're looking at the draft Capital here in multi-side 8p nfl.com ESPN Yahoo all average together 18th round he's going undrafted in a lot of leagues maybe last pick of your draft you take a stab at him and you realize the lottery ticket if someone goes off on the waiver wire you knowing he's the rb3 there you're likely to drop him to pick that player up he's not going to clog your roster you're not going to play the if game because of that running back who's on waivers looking good or is the next man up on his team you're going to make that move easy without thinking about it that's something too and he's got the upside to help you out he could not be a roster clogger for you if he's behind two running backs those two running backs though likely to go down this year sometime are you willing to put money that both Gus Edwards and JK dobins is going to play a full 17 Game season are you going to put money down on it are you willing to do that probably not kamani viall is going to get opportunity somewhere down the line if not another running back so look at that way and you look at his upside and you're spinning an 18th round draft pick it's okay to do you don't need him because there's other lottery tickets that makes sense you should be going after lottery tickets that you can turn and burn if someone pops off on the waiver wire he's the perfect example of that and you need him cuz you love the talent and he's the lottery ticket for you you like the Chargers you like the Run game here you think there's a lot of opportunity but let me know what you think about kamani V in the comments below make sure to hit that
