Fantasy Football Player Notes

Since his return, Hampton has had a 33.8% snap rate, a 17.6% route share, and only a 5.5% target share. He has averaged 15.5 touches and 66 total yards as the Bolts' goal-line back. In those two games, Hampton has had six red zone rushing attempts versus Kimani Vidal's one. Hampton has looked like a shell of himself, though, with an 11% missed tackle rate and 1.25 yards after contact per attempt. He's a middling flex play again this week. Since Week 11, Dallas's run defense has been beastly, giving up the second-fewest rushing yards per game, the 11th-fewest yards after contact per attempt, the ninth-fewest yards before contact per attempt, and the 13th-lowest rushing success rate.

Over the last two weeks, Kimani Vidal has been a decent flex play as the Chargers' passing-down back. In those two weeks, Vidal has averaged 14 touches and 76 total yards while compiling a 66.9% snap rate, a 56.8% route share, and a 7.3% target share. Vidal has only one red zone rushing attempt in that span, so the odds of him scoring a touchdown are slim. Overall, among 58 qualifying backs, Vidal ranks 25th in explosive run rate and 40th in yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 11, Dallas's run defense has been beastly, giving up the second-fewest rushing yards per game, the 11th-fewest yards after contact per attempt, the ninth-fewest yards before contact per attempt, and the 13th-lowest rushing success rate. Vidal is an uninspiring volume-based flex again this week.
