Kimani Vidal: 2026 Fantasy Outlook
Our model ranks Kimani Vidal about 96 places above his market price, which is the profile we treat as a genuine value rather than a hunch.
Where the market has him
Our published board has him at 189, 12 places higher than consensus ADP. Across 13 ranking sources the spread is 31.7 places — a long way apart. The unblended model sits 96 places above the market, which is our threshold for a major disagreement.
Our board recommends him around round 19. The replacement-level running back we measure him against is Rhamondre Stevenson, which is the honest comparison: the question is never whether he is good, it is how much better he is than the player you could have instead.
The track record
Across 2 drafted seasons in our sample, Kimani Vidal finished at or above his positional draft price 1 time. He returned a severe bust in 2 of them. He played 13 games or fewer in 2 of those seasons — the availability line that separates hits from disasters more sharply than price does.
| Season | Drafted as | Finished | PPG | Games | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | RB177 | RB42 | 9.1 | 13 | Severe bust |
| 2024 | RB60 | RB82 | 3.3 | 10 | Severe bust |
Positional draft rank against final positional finish on PPR total points. A severe bust is a finish outside the top 60 FLEX scorers.
Risk and upside
Our model tiers him low for risk and low for upside. Across the 2026 board those two scores are essentially uncorrelated, so a low-risk label is not a low-ceiling label.
Why the model says low risk: Low risk profile: weekly/market volatility (74.2) with market disagreement (60.2) as the secondary driver.
