Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season rolls on and the action will continue this afternoon with an AFC showdown featuring the Los Angeles Chargers visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.

The Chargers have rattled off three straight wins and were last seen handling the Steelers in a 25-10 home victory last Sunday night. Running back Kimani Vidal was a central figure in that win as he continues to hold down the fort in place of an injured Omarion Hampton.

Below, we’ll go over Vidal’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 11.

Fantasy Football analysis: Chargers RB Kimani Vidal

Vidal broke off 25 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown in last Sunday’s win over the Steelers, also adding a 13-yard reception to his stat line for good measure. The second-year back out of Troy was heavily featured throughout the night, touching the ball 20+ times for the third time this season while his 68 snaps was the heaviest workload of his pro career so far.

The young risher has been a top-10 fantasy running back in all scoring formats over the last five weeks and has done his job well in Hampton’s absence. Even with Hampton’s return looming following the team’s bye next week, Vidal may have carved out a significant role in the offense for the rest of the year.

Start or sit in Week 11?

Start. If you’ve been rolling with Vidal over the past month, keep it rolling. The volume of touches that he’ll get should make him a worthwhile add, even when going up against a Jags defense that has surrendered the third-least rushing yards in the NFL this season.
