Their 2025 seasons

Ja'Kobi Lane is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

In 2025 Kimani Vidal played 13 games and scored 117.9 PPR points, 9.1 a game, finishing RB42.

He carried 155 times for 643 yards and 3 touchdowns, and caught 16 of 22 targets for 136 more yards.

That came to 11.9 carries a game at 4.1 yards a carry and 1.2 catches a game.

He was on the field for 58 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

Ja'Kobi Lane is a wide receiver and Kimani Vidal a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Ja'Kobi Lane is off in Week 13 and Kimani Vidal in Week 7, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.1 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
