Coming off a real climb — RB80 to RB42 tells the story better than age; 2024 also ended early (9 games).

Depth/upside bet — RB role isn't locked starter volume yet.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Vidal ran for 643 yards and caught 16 passes in 2025, finishing RB42. He scored about 21% less than his touches said he should. The last two seasons moved from RB80 to RB42 — that's the dynasty read. 2024 stopped at 9 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
