Jaret Patterson Fantasy Overview

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is eligible to come off IR this week, but HC John Harbaugh said Monday that he doesn't expect the rookie back until after the Week 12 bye. It's not a major surprise considering Hampton was still in a walking boot about a week-and-a-half ago. He's worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues, but Hampton owners should be prepared to be without him for another three weeks. RB Kimani Vidal again operated as Los Angeles' lead back in the Week 9 win over the Titans but busted with just 30 yards on 12 carries. RB Jaret Patterson notably out-snapped Vidal 11 to six in the fourth quarter, finishing with nine carries for 44 yards. Vidal remains the best fantasy bet in this backfield for Week 10, but the situation is a bit more volatile now than it was a couple of days ago.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal rushed 12 times for 30 yards in Sunday's matchup with Tennessee. Vidal topped No. 2 RB Jaret Patterson in snap share – 72% to 28% – but the carry distribution was much tighter. Vidal led by only 3 attempts in a 7-point road win.

Chargers RB Hassan Haskins (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. RB Kimani Vidal will continue to dominate touches in Los Angeles’ backfield, with Jaret Patterson the No. 2 RB. Vidal is a borderline RB1 in this prime spot against Tennessee’s 30th-ranked RB defense.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal went over 100 rushing yards in Week 7 for the second time in his last three games. The first came against a Dolphins run defense that gets smoked every week. Vidal's 117-yard outing vs. the Vikings on Thursday night was more impressive. He was largely bottled up in the first half, mustering just 24 yards on 11 carries -- although one of those went for a three-yard score. Vidal got rolling in the second half, though, with the Chargers nursing a big lead and Minnesota's defense not looking particularly interested in tackling. Vidal carried another 12 times for 93 yards over the final 30 minutes, including four runs of 10+ yards.
