Breece Hall vs Kimani Vidal: Who Should You Start?
Breece Hall and Kimani Vidal are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Breece Hall averaged 11.9 PPG across 16 games with the New York Jets, while Kimani Vidal posted 8.5 PPG in 13 appearances for the Los Angeles Chargers.
A 3.4-PPG gap gives Breece Hall the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Breece Hall ran for 1065 yards and 4 touchdowns; Kimani Vidal posted 643 and 3. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Breece Hall has his bye in Week 12, and Kimani Vidal rests in Week 5. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
