Kimani Vidal, Stone Smartt Won't Play Against Titans
Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal (coach's decision) and tight end Stone Smartt (ankle) are both inactive for Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans. Vidal had not appeared on the injury report but is evidently the odd man out now that Gus Edwards has rejoined the backfield following an injured reserve stint. Vidal totaled 93 scrimmage yards and one touchdown in his four-game run as J.K. Dobbins' backup. Smartt, meanwhile, had been listed as questionable after logging three consecutive limited practices. He has just two catches this season, remaining a non-factor in fantasy football. In his absence, Tucker Fisk will step up as the Chargers' No. 3 tight end behind Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst.
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Stone Smartt came out of nowhere to score a 51-yard touchdown on three targets in Week 11's game against the Green Bay Packers, but it wasn't enough as the team fell 23-20 on Sunday. The undrafted second-year player broke a tackle on a Justin Herbert pass over the middle for a house call early in the second quarter, giving the Chargers a temporary 10-7 advantage in the scoring column. Those who streamed Donald Parham Jr. in Gerald Everett's (chest) absence could only shake their heads in disappointment. Even though Smartt notched his first career touchdown in this one, we wouldn't call it smart to spend a roster spot on him in most fantasy leagues ahead of Week 12's contest against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football, considering he's received 10 targets in 10 games.
