    "writeup": "Heavy boxes and bad blocking defined Vidal's 2025, and he produced anyway. Defenses stacked against 31.6 percent of his carries, an 84th-percentile rate, his line managed just 1.77 yards before contact, 14th percentile, and he still reached 643 rushing yards at 4.1 a carry by creating 2.30 after contact, 81st percentile, with positive rush yards over expected on top. The yardage was the runner's work far more than the scheme's. Across 13 games he averaged 8.5 points on nearly 12 carries a game, and his expected-points total landed in the 62nd percentile, so the role was legitimate while it lasted. The 2026 market has moved on, RB62 in half-PPR at pick 187, with consensus at 55.1 points, RB66, both assuming the current third-string listing holds and the touches evaporate. That assumption may hold, and July depth charts often do. Still, a 24-year-old who just handled a starter's workload against loaded fronts while running ahead of expectation per carry is an odd thing to find in round 16, and if he claws back any share of that backfield, the 2025 usage says he can carry it.",
