Kyle Dvorchak breaks down the biggest waiver wire targets for Week 7 including Drake Maye, Kimani Vidal, and Josh Downs.
Nathan Jahnke s 10 biggest reactions to NFL Week 6, including Kimani Vidal and Trey Benson handling larger roles in their offenses.
Vidal looked spry on his 38-yard, first-quarter touchdown reception, securing Justin Herbert's only touchdown of the day. He was promisingly involved in both pass-catching and pass-protection situations, making him a priority waiver wire target for Week 7. Vidal asserted himself as the team's No. 2 RB moving forward, totaling four carries and two targets to Hassan Haskins' two carries.
There was a chance Haskins could keep rookie Kimani Vidal at bay by securing the No. 2 RB role with Gus Edwards on injured reserve. That chance quickly evaporated after Vidal exploded for a 38-yard receiving touchdown in the first quarter. Haskins can be dropped in re-draft leagues.
Dobbins remains injury-free after totaling a season-high 25 rushing attempts against the Broncos, though his inefficiency is glaring. Dobbins averaged just 3.8 yards per carry after averaging less than 3.0 yards per carry in the two prior games. Credit where it's due: Dobbins made a snazzy, if risky, spinning extension to find the end zone in the second quarter, flashing the requisite veteran savvy to hold off ascending rookie Kimani Vidal for the time being. Dobbins is an RB2 against the Cardinals in Week 7.
